At present it's wide open and freewheelin; but the more exposure it gets the more that's going to change. My guess is that within a year or two the feds will tax it into oblivion.
I'd hate to have a tax on it (and wonder how they'll figure it out since you can just as easily be putting 0mg in there as anything else) but I'd rather weather that than an all out ban or an FDA freeze pending trials (which, let's face it, would probably result in a tax anyway)!
Here is the main FDA situation - This is a lengthy one. Read the first few pages to get the history of the case, then skip to the end and look at the last several pages. This will get you up to speed on the current situation.
Here is the info regarding individual states trying to ban them

I am also interested in the legal situation around banning e-cigs, but more importantly, I would like to know how to deal with an employer that isn't very open-minded to the idea. So far I haven't drawn much attention to myself at work except in the designated smoking areas. However that is going to change in a month when my state goes to the no public smoking. I fear I will draw more attention than I wish, regardless of where I am. I'm sure it won't be long after that when my employer or other local businesses put up more of a obstacle around vaping in public. I don't mind trying to help someone see the light, but some just aren't willing to listen.
Just vape in the toilet in an enclosed stall - they won't know and you won't be trying to rub it into anyone's face or cause resentment.
Always take the easiest road imo
My guess is they will regulate like the patch and nicotine gum . I don't think the courts are going to let them Tax like they do with cigarettes but if they do you can always order direct from China and they can't tax that so I think regulation is the way they are going to go that's why they want to ban because they can't tax.
So far the Judges have ruled in favor for the e-cig but there are still allot of lies floating around out there.
I most certainly hope they do not tax them. One large incentive of switching to e-cigs is the economical savings! I think it's just a big hoo-hah way to make money. It's good to hear it's legal though. Any ideas on what they might tax? Would it be just the e-cigs themselves, or the whole shibang (flavours, batteries, etc)?
If you use an ecig here in NJ, you must do it outside with the smokers, and not at all on hospital or school grounds. It's illegal in all places that smoking is illegal in this state.

For me, a tax isn't the problem...It would be the ban on E-cig that I worry about...Lets face it...except for food and medicine, most everything else is taxed...so why should PVs be different....Enjoy..
My political rant from a tobacco blog referencing an eCig ban when I first started eCigs...
They will find a way to either snuff it out, or tax the ever-loving crap out of it.
Can you tell I have mass respect for our government? lmao... Ok, I promise I won't get on my political high horse ever again here, just figured I'd share.

I can't see them approving the use of nicotine in the strength we now have available to us. Look at gum and patches which are low in nicotine content. Eventually it will be approved but it won't do us any good at the 4mg to 6 mg.(or it want me) IMO the only way it will be approved are in rpefilled cart with very low nicotine levels. We will not be able to buy nicotine liquid (unless we make it ourselves). Just think about it, some of the mg. we can now purchase is dangerous and the FDA will never approve this.
What about the business that sell them? All of our favorite places to buy e-cig juices and accessories could be taxed into oblivion. We aren't exactly talking about businesses with the funds of big tobacco.
I doubt much would change. Each little pouch of Camel Snus has 8mg of nicotine and Snuff is even more potent.

All of these being reasons that it's critical to 1) get and stay involved with local legislation and events via the specific forum dedicated to that pursuit here and 2) Be active. A phone call to a your congressman takes all of five minutes, and an email less.
In Illinois, the participation of people on this forum that called, emailed, wrote and showed up last week resulted in victory for vapers.
Every voice counts. Truly.

To think or wish that there will be no taxes on vaping products is both ludicrous and unrealistic.
The future of smoking is in this product.
The Government will need the revenue so it stands to reason it's going to happen.
The question is will it become as expensive as smoking analogs?
Personally, I don't care.
What I do care about is getting reliable and quality product and with that comes regulation.
I also hope that this product will be widely accepted; it should be.
It's the only logical alternative to smoking and it works!
