I'd go back, i like nicotine too much....
I would continue to vape on my stock pile. Then I would order from China, black market.
I think perhaps you missed the part of the OP that said all of your stockpile disappeared, and you couldn't get anymore.
I would like to say I wouldn't go back but the act of smoking while I drink would likely be too much to ignore. I however wouldn't like doing it.
I'm curious to see if, all your vaping equipment was to disappear (let's call it magic), you would quit altogether, or would revert back to smoking tobacco.
I posted this question not to debate the 'legalization' of e-cigs, but just to see how many people find the taste of tobacco now to be sufficiently repugnant to prevent reversion. I, and a number of others, some on this forum, now find analogs to taste very bad, enough so that I think (not entirely sure), I could not go back. I see now that Quo Vadis had posted nearly the same question in the Law forum before I posted this poll, and the results are turning out to be fairly similar, about a 50/50 split. Interesting.
Personally, I think there are so many possible sources of all the various bits required to make your own way to vape, we will never be forced to do without.
as ive said before.... if my government no longer is looking out for my interests, and doesnt represent me, it is no longer my government. ive never thought about this kind of thing before, but when my government wants to kill me, i cant help but feel a bit betrayed.
