Wow, how much time you got?
Big Tobacco will enter the market and attempt to get the lion's share of the newbie 2-piece e-cig market.
Big Pharma will introduce licensed versions, essentially the same, but with medical distribution channels and therefore approved for Harm Management (Harm Reduction when medically managed).
The newbie market will increase to astronomical proportions when BT starts marketing. A Marlboro Ecig will sell just as well as the tobacco version.
BT will try to buy up patents and squeeze out the smaller guys.
RJ Reynolds and Phillip Morris will crush Imperial Tobacco, as IT are still stuck in the 19th century and still opposing e-cigs.
BT and others will introduce and patent alternative forms of the e-cigarette, for example the Voycek inhaler and the Nicotron* inhaler they are currently working on.
[* or whatever]
Nicotine Pyruvate and related compounds will become buzzwords (the new nic format they are working on for these new types of e-cig).
Better versions of the standard 2-piece will be developed.
Better mods will be developed.
Walmart will sell basic models and super mods made by Sony and Panasonic.
Pfizer-Wellcome will sell their own brand of e-liquid through pharmacies. They will be legally allowed to put e-...... and other stuff in it.
Red Bull will market their own super NicoKaffeen brand of e-liquid, bitterly opposed by parents and concerned adults everywhere.
The Dunhill brand e-cig will feature the new Li-Au battery (lithium-gold), retailing at $650 a unit.
The Gucci model will be the most cloned model in existence. Entire Chinese factories will produce fake Gucci e-cigs.
The Benetton brand will feature realistic dripping blood (leaking red e-liquid), which will enable them to not do anything about the leakage issue. The marketer's dream - a product fault turned into a 'feature'.
The Apple iCig will have a wristwatch linked by Bluetooth to the e-cig. The wrist unit will monitor blood plasma nicotine level and up the power if you need more. Apart from that, it won't work all that well, and Apple will track users' locations for some purpose as yet unknown. But who cares, it's got an apple on it.
Higher and higher taxes will be introduced to compensate for the drop in tobacco tax that will cripple economies.
Governments will consider legislating against tobacco the way MJ is today, until their revenue departments persuade them otherwise. Tobacco will become the first legal drug, i.e. something many people need and like but bitterly opposed by those who live in caves up a mountain or think they do.
Somebody somewhere will attempt to legislate or otherwise control the supply of nicotine containing liquids even where they are legal.
Vapers will become a strong political force, and Representatives will have to listen to them.
People will routinely start 'smoking' with an e-cig, tobacco will be viewed as crack.
The FDA will still be taking pharma money and still be fighting to kill e-cigs - or anything else that will obviously benefit public health but isn't sold by pharma and doesn't have 50 years of research to back up the claim.
The FDA will announce a new standard for research: 100 years of data are needed in order to prove something is safe. The 70 years of research on PG proving it is safe available in 2011 clearly isn't enough.
vaping will become a target of religious fundamentalists everywhere (sorry, that already happened).
Virgin Spacelines will be the first space transport line to sell e-cigs on earth orbital flights.
Snus will be legalized for terminal cancer patients. "It could be too dangerous for anyone else", said Adolf Rosenthal, head of the FDA's Public Safety Department. The 134 years of research is apparently inconclusive.
vaping in space transports will finally be allowed on short interplanetary journeys.
Schoolchildren are taught about a weird old custom from two centuries ago where people inhaled burning bonfires down a tube while looking pleased, and then dropped like flies. Then they were cremated. Mainly, the kids can't understand why they weren't buried in space like everybody now.
Hey, what was the timescale again?
