    Bottom line...money. vapers don't pay politicians like the big tobacco or the big pharma does, yet we take away from both of their bottom line, so we have to go. Outright banning it wouldn't work near as well as this slow death by a thousand cuts.

    Why are they pushing a ban on vaping and not cigarettes?
    Another reason is taxes. The federal excise tax for cigarettes is about $1.00 per pack and my state tax is another $0.37 per pack. Vaping basically is just sales tax in my state (6% of the sale price). It isn't so much that they want to ban vaping as they are protecting their existing tax revenues.
