What do electronic cigarettes contain

[Whosback]

The Big tobacco guys and tax man are already taking a hit in the form of $10-15 million annually per company. Least that's the figure that was quoted by a few wed sites when I first looked into Vape. tobacco is running scared, loosing profits, scrambling to get a foot hold buying and starting cigalike companies. They have the most to lose, the most to spend , and why that I am highly confidant that they are the major lobbyist behind the mainstream manipulation. Trying to catch up and trying to regain their profits.

I'm sure the marketing strategist approach to the CEO was something like:

Jo, all we have to do is spread the word that vape is as dangerous as smoking, that will discourage dumb Billy J not to check it out. It will also inflame John Q Public to start rebelling against the Nasty Vape people who are threatening our health and rights with 2nd hand vape... Jo, you know as well as I that fact and science doesn't really matter, it's what John Q Public thinks and cries about that drives the lawmakers. Now while we put the brakes to the Vape industry and regain some our lost profits, we slip in and buy and develop our own scientifically proven, safe e-cigarette. well call it something like Blu or No Smoke, or Eco Smoke. then we back off and enjoy the new higher profit margins, and can play it against the tobacco farmers, bringing down out costs and further expanding our profits!! It's a win win for us Jo. .....

Least that's what I would of done if in charge of market strategy. But hey I'm only a dumb craps dealer, that can tell you what a $12 horn with a $8 C & E, and keeping up your $20 hopping hard ways, with a $15 dollar 3 way would pay when 12 craps 12 is called. Fraking hate heavy prop action. lmao. but that's what I get paid to do.

Totally agree and two more things to add.

One: You avatar looks a lot like my own fuzz ball. Love it.

Two: Big T even wins if the regulations make them the only game in town and e-cigs fail or drop to the same level as the gum and patches: After all people will just go back to smoking normal cigs if they try poorly made e-cigs. They are setting them selves up for a win-win.

I wholly expect them to gain the bigger market share in the long run even with out playing dirty just due to manufacturing ability and distribution networks, but I don't want them to destroy the rest of the industry to do it. They are just trying to maximize their win by trying to give people very limited options.

Many of the people here would be willing to mix our own juices and go through long import times from our of the USA for what we need, but that's probably not the norm for most of the vaping world.

Billionaires with deep pockets might get a slight dip in their profits, they are willing to do whatever it takes to hold on to that money no matter how many people it hurts.

I notice PG in a lot of other things too. It is in my favorite water enhancer (the flavoring stuff in the little squeeze bottle). Take a look a the 3rd ingredient!

I also found it in blue cheese dressing too! We've been ingesting PG for a long time...
