Granted it was 6 years ago, but that is exactly what was required when I used to buy cigarettes online. Things may have changed now. No clue.

They kept a copy of my photo ID on file and I paid by electronic check since credit card companies did not allow purchase of tobacco.

Yeah... This is where the Lawyers enter from Stage Left.

Because does the Seller Need to see the Buyer's ID to be able to Make a "Tobacco Product" sale? Or is it Enough for a Delivery Company or the USPS to see an ID after the sale has been Made?

I just ordered 10 years worth of nic.

It's terrible. The vaping community should have united and proposed some self regulation before this. We knew it was coming.

If it is any Consolation, it probably Wouldn't have made much Difference. But it might have made the Short-Term Transition a bit Easier.

Exactly what I was thinking. The age may need to be verified at the P.O.S.

It Wouldn't Surprise me if this is what the FDA or a State may Require.

I would bet my money on it. Proving that you or someone at your residence is of legal age after the sale, will not count towards being in compliance at the time of sale.

We were and we did:

CASAA

URGENT: FDA Call to Action: Submit Comments on FDA's Proposed Intended Use Regulation

Important! CASAA Survey

CASAA files two comments in connection with FDA's packaging and labeling ANPRM

FDA Call to Action: Submit comments on FDA’s Third Workshop Regarding E-Cigarettes

Call to Action! Support HR 2058 which would change the grandfather date for vapor products

And on and on for the last two years. Donations sent CASAA representatives to meet with the FDA on our behalf to provide input. And not just CASAA but other organizations plus independent petitions representing us and the industry as well. Were you paying attention?

I would Kinda Surprise me if you Didn't have to have a Photo ID on file given the Heavy Handed approach that the FDA and some State are taking with e-Cigarettes.

So, is this completely passed into law? Is there no going back or are there more votes? This is crazytown.

No Votes involved. FDA Acts with impunity outside Standards of Representation.
Only Congress or Court of Law and strike down any actions the FDA decides to take.

It was my Understanding that before a Major Rule, such as what the FDA is making, could be Finalized that it had to be Reviewed by BOTH Houses of Congress.

Do we have any chance of stopping this? I'l be smoking Marlboro and Camel e-liquids if this happens and then I might as well smoke. Damn...

Don't go back to smoking. Your health is too important to do that. There will be ways to keep vaping. Stick around. Keep reading here. We intend to find a way. One way or another.

China may be an option. Because you know that they need/want more of our money.

Here and back
I can tell you this. Contrary to what ANY individual Doctor may say in private Dr/patient conversation - AAFP was instrumental in Soliciting Regulation.

Sadly, they Parrot CDC Statistical Data on Teen usage to Promote the need for E-cigarette Deeming.
Not a single comment on the reduction in TEEN Smoking due to CHOICE.

While I have never had an issue with age restrictions(maturity changes one) I have seen Little in the Success of such Age restrictions beyond satisfying those crying out for change.
I have always seen underage Drinking, Smoking and everything else restricted to Age of consent. Words without action have never proven preventative.

I will Freely admit, I got more Alcohol as an underage Teen than I have purchased or consumed as an adult. Never once did my parents have fore knowledge or give consent. Never once did Government stop me.

Societies Adults need to stop with all the FOR the Children regulation, to simply Feel they have accomplished something and put that energy toward Real Solvable Crisis world wide.
Rampant control of Government by Corporations is a Real World Crisis.:glare:

Yeah just make it illegal like they do all those other drugs on the street, you know what I'm talking about. It sure seems to help (not) in keeping the teens on the straight and narrow.

FDA Deeming went straight to OMB for Study and White House approval, Then into the Books.

The FDA has actually Refused congressional pressures to make changes in accordance with the FDA's own Guidelines.
The law does not change FDA’s standard for general recognition of safety and effectiveness -

It would seem the FDA feels it is above the Law

I'm not an Expert on the Procedural Steps involved with Finalizing a Rule such as this. But I have ask a couple of People who are (somewhat) Familiar with the Process.

And 2 out of the 3 Told me that Many Times the FDA Ignores the Congressional Review Act. The other person Didn't Know.

BTW - Here is an Interesting Read...

Speaking of the FDA feeling it is above the law:

Here's the thread
Boehner asks FDA to move Grandfathering date to April 2014 or time of final rule

Here's the letter Boehner sent

Apparently just 'asking' and playing nice doesn't work with the FDA
