[mightymen]

my friend is curious why as am i. so if you know exactly why they're trying to ban them reply to this thread please lol

FDA is an AGENCY with regulation powers given by the president of these United States with people hired by the president to regulate his or her agenda for the period of time till next president put another person in charge to promote they agenda which he/she get from lobbyist, campaign pledges, voter blocks, private intrest groups who contribute to his/her campaign fund which they get to keep whats left when retired another form of graft, a form of political corruption, is the unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain.
If the President did not want to promote it it would not be a topic today.

Money. Plain and simple. BP makes less money because we don't buy "traditional" stop smoking therapies. BP makes less money when less people get sick and or die from cancer, high BP, asthma, COPD, etc. Big tobacco loses money from less people purchasing tobacco products. vaping is not regulated, therefore, does not have increased taxation attached to it. Revenue is lost to special interest groups as well. They want to regulate us under the premise of "safety" and "nicotine regulation" but it is really about them wanting more money from us.

I'll stop everything before I deal with e-cig products controlled and taxed by whoever. The though of my money somehow finding its way back to big tobacco pisses me off. Already starting to stockpile nonperishable items (a few batteries, tanks, wicks, and when push comes to shove, I'll order my juices at the very end).

There are a couple of reasons, but the main reason is that Big Pharma wants them to.
I know that sounds like some sort of conspiracy theory, but it is all too real.

I just cant believe this if this were true this would mean politicians are puppets to private interest. If this were true all sorts of bad things would happen this means they could not only ban ecigs they could legislate unfair trade agreements and out source our jobs! They could fix interest rates for a time and let banks create a falls economy witch would fail and have devastating effects on all of us! They could then barrow large sums from China and give the money to the banks to squander and be even more irresponsible.
I see no evidence that we have such obvious corruption. If it were true people would not just sit idly buy and let it happen surely they would be out raged and take action and force reform on such a corrupt system.

Everyone should subscribe to the legislation and news forums to keep up on things regarding regulation, etc. All the top people in our industry are posting and/or represented there. Become informed and join CASAA (even donate, if you can ).

The more of us that are informed, the better we can represent our cause to those that need to be educated and persuaded!

every one should watch the documentary "inside job" its free on the net, some crazy stuff been going on in the usa.

I get your point Buzzzlove
What we have here is a Hydra, you can cut off one head and three will grow in its place.
I don't believe the President has half as much power as some would like to believe.
There are a whole lotta Civil Servants in cushy jobs and high positions, they wag the tail.

Word has it that Cliff Stearns (R, FL) gave the Speaker of the House, Boehner and President Obama ecig kits. Boehner has been seen using his in the lobby of the capital, a place that Nancy Pelosi was instrumental in declaring a smoke free area.

NoTobacco.Net » 09 – Even President Obama owns an electronic cigarette!

 

[jimmyh]

Its for your own good. The American people are lazy, sit back and let Big Government take care of us and decide whats best for us.

 

[DaveP]

It's all about protecting the cash cow. Ecigs are a threat to tobacco settlement money. If cigarettes go away in favor of ecigs, look for the taxation to shift to ecigs. The government is hooked on the yearly check from BT and will look for the surviving industry to continue it.

It's kind of like a weedy garden the weeds take over. I've if you do not control them. It is a huge chore to remove them but it still has to be done it you want fresh maders.
Sign petitions wright letters stay informed.
Join activist groups that are of like minded thinking. I think we will whin this fight because people get involved. But please don't stop here. This sort of insanity is going on in so many aspects of our lives these days. Get involved and at least try to make a difference.
I'm part of a group that's trying to force a new amendment. It's looking like it will happen in 16 you can effect change. But it takes action

 

[mightymen]

As time goes by and it gets a little harder for you to get your supplies. You have ask yourself even though the FDA has not said anything are they haveing effect already with e-cigs.

I have seen wizardlabs close they website for orders so more product could be made, demand damand demand.
I place my order week ago not even ship yet. Not like them.

 

[Sophearith Kenneth Prom]

me too! i placed my order on the 16th and wont be getting it till end of this week thats way too long...

 

[Sophearith Kenneth Prom]

Is there anyway we can bump this up to news sites like Digg.com and such to promote more awareness to those other than vapers?

 

[coluccim]

It is all about control.

 

[mikejm]

It's about power for the sake of power and control for the sake of control. Government does not care about health or the economy or the environment. Government, and those employed by government care about one thing: Government. If you are not government, then you are food.

 

[crashhat69]

so basically they're trying to ban e-cigs because the more people that stop smoking and start vaping the less money the BT companies make? that's it?

I don't think that's the reason they give but it's apparently what some people think.
