Why don't people want e-liquid labels changed?

[NOVA jon]

I think that much of the fallacy of this argument is that regulations are meant to keep consumers safe. They are not. They are meant to limit the freedoms of markets and consumers. They limit competition. Rarely do bans and regulations make anyone safer. They only take freedoms from the consumer and often cost them more money.

Let the juice manufacturers and sellers decide what to put on their bottles. Of couse, the consumer needs to know the nic level, ingredients and possible allergic reactions. Beyond that, government should have no say. Let the consumer make the choice in what they find distasteful and then let them make their choice accordingly.

Yes, but, instead of regulations, why not have standards? Manufacturing quality standards, purity standards, nic % standards, ingredient standards.....

Have these things and if manufacturers are found lacking in the standards, then you would know which companies to avoid!

Standards imposed by a regulatory agency are regulations.

Why not? Purple are too sirius.

I feel the opposite, I want teddy bears and bunnies with ecigs in their mouth while giving the finger and unicorns farting rainbows dancing across the labels

I would totally vape Unicorn fart e-juice

Standards and regulations like no cig ads on tv but we have award winning TV series glamorizing illegal drug manufacturing and use?
We are a messed up country on such things.

I tried to edit my post because I thought I should expound a bit!!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Many go for a cop if they see a naked breast but let their children watch people being hacked up with chainsaws. Yeah morals....

 

[queevil]

It's all good. If you're implying that there should be a "gentlemen's handshake" amongst marketers and manufactures regarding labeling standards, then I agree.

Hey I love Art. And have a lot of Respect for those who Create it.

Take this for Example...

G2 Vapor 15ml G2 Vapor 15ml - $7.50

Very Cool Art. Good Staging. Nice Tonal colors in the Background. And I think the Artist who created this did a Fantasic Job of Capturing the Essence of Youth in her eyes and the Slightly toed in feet. Throw in the Contrast of the Chainsaw and Blood splatters. Good Stuff.

But.

To put this Image on a Bottle of e-Liquid is just Asking ANTZ Senators to present this during a FDA Deeming Hearing and Claim that e-Cigarette Companies are Marketing to Minors.

Doesn't have Anything to do with Not Respecting Art or Artists.

Why do People/Retailers want to Help ANTZ Senators make the e-Cigarette Industry Look Bad?

Love that art, pretty sure they would turn that around and say this ejuice will cause minors to become chainsaw murderers!

Could you imagine......

I thought we were just talking about labels. Not the actual manufacture and quality standards.

Vapers Threaten Boycott Over Cartoon E-Liquid Label | Ecig Advanced News

Boycott? Don't like it don't buy it. It is the way I live.
Wouldn't have any peanut butter vape anyway.

Don't need any organized effort to make up my mind for me.

Sorta, kinda, my thoughts were blurred a 'lil! Taking it a step further I guess! Lack of sleep makes my thought process jump around!

Sorry if I derailed......

 

[queevil]

It's cool.

I just don't understand why a person is so worried about "giving them ammunition" . I mean it doesn't matter what they bring to a battle if you start the battle waiving a white flag.

I fully support not selling any eliquid or vaping equipment to any underage persons. Do this and no problem.
I wonder if certain pictures are banned from beer cans?

Remember when the generic craze hit and they just had cans labeled "Beer" in the store?

 

[WillyZee]

I like Beer

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Actually I have the bitter gene and a anything with alcohol in it tastes horrible. And Hops are just too bitter. Some ale is not too bad.
