Tobacco companies could help themselves

[nyabzns]

Anyone think a tobacco company, any tobacco company even a small one such as Baily's for example could help the e-cig reputation buy getting involved with manufacturing or selling specific models and manufacturing the e-juice ?

You gotta admit a tobacco company that would use there resources to offer an alternative might have some pull in both perception and laws regarding vapping

you have a point, but if they just wait and do their best to put pressure on the FDA and spread false information, they can just have them banned and all will be well again as far as they are concerned.

They like it when their customers die? (I just lost my MIL to lung cancer )


It seems like they should get with the new technology. You know, like how the horse and buggy was replaced by the automobile... and there are many more examples that I can't think of at the moment!

Besides that, the dinosaurs--when they looked up and saw that big asteroid coming their way--said "Yea...so what, we're big and strong, we don't have to be scared!"

Let'em drag their feet like IBM did when the pc computer came out--they've had their day...time they step down and be replaced by the future...

besides, they killed the cowboy.

There is a guy in my poker league who works for Phillip Morris. When he saw my E-cig he asked if my cartridges were biodegradable. We discussed it a bit and he mentioned that PM is making a "green" version of the E-cig.

Has anyone else heard this?

heatbar, and I bet they are trying to get more studies in before they bring into the US. You can find it(I think you still can)in some parts of the world.

Heatbar - Tobacco Products

I love it. We're all walking around with our slim, small, mostly "real" sized e-cigs...and tobacco companies are coming out with this 80's cell phone brick. Nice.

They have it figured out already. If they can help to get the e-cig banned, they can come out with their own version and control the market.

Anyone who thinks they are not already deeply involved is, IMO, naive

That was the 80's version. I am sure that they have something way more sophisticated now. You might even be using it and not know its origin.

Sounds like this one heats tobacco as well. They tried that once, didn't work.

By involved I meant imbracing the technology and helping to perfect it.

I might be a noob but I'm not naive.

Actually, patent was 2002, with test marketing in Germany in 2007. This is what they want us to use NOW. It would be better for them to buy out an existing e-cig company and market those products.
