The Key word here is "tobacco".
Tell me Again how a Solution of PG, VG and Food Flavorings can be tied to Tobacco?
Because Isn't that what a 0mg is? A Solution of PG, VG and Food Flavorings.
If you think the FDA will have the Legal Authority to Regulate a 0mg "e-Liquid" as a Tobacco Product once the Deeming has been Approved by Congress, that Cool.
i think they are going after everything. i'm not saying its right or
even totally legal. their going to throw every thing against the
wall and see what sticks.
with zero nic it will be the old chillin' and gateway argument.
first 0 nic than 6,than 12 and before you know its real cigarettes.
and after that on to the serious stuff,blah,blah.

The FDA "is also considering whether to ban online sales of e-cigarettes..."
The FDA isn't Stupid.
And they are Not going to try and Regulate something that would be Thrown out by the First Court it was brought in front of.
The FDA Knows that they Can Not Touch 0mg "e-Liquids". As long as the Seller Makes No Claim or Intended Use.
The FDA also Knows that Hardware, if sold without Implying that it is to be Used with a Tobacco Product, or if the Seller Makes No Claim, will be Extremely Difficult to Regulate. That is why Hardware will be Minimally Effected in My Opinion.

That is a false statement, as the FDA's proposed deeming regulation (that would ban >99.9% of e-cigs products and give the e-cig industry to Big Tobacco) never proposed nor mentioned an online e-cig sales ban.
This entire thread should be deleted because it just spreads a lie.

that's right,they are not stupid. that's why the law says derived from and
not a derivative of.
in terms of the courts the only way they can get involved is when the
regulations come into effect and start causing substantial monetary harm
to juice and hardware vendors because of the regulatory paperwork burden
not because of the regulations and or taxes placed on the juice and hardware.
either way vaping is going to be as expensive or more so than smoking.
the FDA has been granted the authority to do so. how far they go is the $64
dollar question. i believe the FDA will go for the whole enchilada before the time
is reached when the amount of vapers reaches the proverbial tipping point and
creates a voting block that has to be contended with.

Hey you might be Right Mike.
Not sure how they are going to Stop me from selling a DNA30 Box Mod LED Flashlight? Or say that a Solution of PG, VG and Food Flavoring is somehow "Tobacco Product"?
Guess we will just have to get a Little Closer to see what is Going to Happen.
i am also starting to formulate contingency plans.

I am starting a brand of "Kosher CPU cooling fluid" for overclockers. Made with the purest propylene glycol and glycerin available. Various proportions to adapt to all cooling needs.

Don't forget 100% of either for those who want to tune their fluid to their own system.
What might be the response from herbal enthusiasts?
I've tracked my expenses for vaping as 'recreational'...the same as I did with tobacco products before vaping.
On the matter of hardware, there is a somewhat parallel recreational realm that may be locally acceptable. Some people like to ingest herbs that may either be dry and combusted or in liquid extracts drawn from the herbs. Much of the hardware used in vaping may also have usefulness in the herbal realm.
Are we to assume that the proposed FDA regulations regarding hardware would apply to 'derivatives' in which tobacco plays no part? What might be the response from herbal enthusiasts?
my understanding goes like this.
first you have tobacco.
a cigarette is a derivative of tobacco.
now you have e-cigarettes in all their shapes and forms
tanks,batts,coils an e-juice inclusive.
these are derived from a cigarette witch is a derivative of tobacco.
the law states derived from tobacco or a tobacco product not a derivative
of tobacco or a tobacco product.tobacco products and their derivatives
are already regulated.
this is not a distinction without meaning."derived from"and"derivative of"
do not mean the same thing.
