This wouldn't be like alcohol prohibition, where anyone could make it and the worst you had to worry about was hooch from lead-soldered radiators. Extracting nicotine from tobacco is an expensive and dangerous process most experienced chemists/chemical engineers wouldn't even try at home. vaping Big tobacco's, carcinogenic pre-filled cartomizers, or even going back to smoking, will be far safer than buying questionable black market nicotine liquid, much less trying to DIY it. If you can't zero-nic, you need to be hoarding nic base now or resign yourself to vape whatever Big Tobacco sells.
would you start smoking again if you couldn't vape?

Simple...I would go cold turkey again if I really wanted to quit smoking....no brainer....it may not be easy, but mind over matter if you want something badly enough..
Yes I feel that I would have to ... Reluctantly of course ! I've only been smoke free for a few weeks...
I've been off cigarettes for almost 2.5 years now. I think I could quit if I had to. That is a big difference from when I was smoking. 3 years ago if someone had told me cigarettes would be made illegal I'd be diving into the black market, even though I've never done anything like that before.
Now, that's not to say I haven't prepared. I've got lots of nicotine for DIY. I've learned how to rebuild protanks, aga, and I've got a kayfun on the way. I started vaping at 24 mg/ml and went fairly quickly down to 12. Stayed at 12 for a long time, but I'm now very gradually reducing it. I use 8-10 mg/ml now, pretty much all the time. If nicotine were to become hard to get and all my nicotine went bad, I'm pretty sure I could eventually get to 0 nic and perhaps quit completely. There's still snus as well. I use it very occasionally when I can't vape and just need some nicotine. I like vaping better, and I think snus gives me more nicotine, but I could switch to that if I had to.

I enjoyed smoking, so I'm sure I would start again.
I'd just feel horrible about it.
Batteries running out is something we all have to deal with. Just so happens that 18 months after I started vaping, I became so frustrated with battery performance that I DID go back to smoking.
The "big battery" era brought me back to vaping when the eGo was introduced. I've since switched to the Provari and my battery woes have ended. I carry a small drawstring bag with 5 replacement batteries. I don't go ANYWHERE without my device and that little drawstring bag. Battery dies, I pop it out and pop a fresh battery in.
No fuss, no muss.

Well KYI to tell u the truth we hopefully never will find out if I would go back smoking or not but in my situation definitely don't think so.After 4 plus years without them they are definitely disgusting to me...I can smell them a mile away now and they give me headaches,also at 52 and with a 8yr old son and mother who died from emphysema at 59 I think I have enough reasons and will power to fight and win the battle.I smoked from 13 to 47yrs old and never smoked on average more than half pack a day which hopefully would help my cause.
Sometimes I play with the idea of what if.
But that is not a reality I am ready to create.

Definitely not smoking. Dipping is a maybe. But I'm a machinist with an electronics background. I think I could come up with something before it reached that point. And as an ECF member, I'd feel morally obligated to share it with everyone.

I would bring the prohibition of e cigs!
But really I make my own juice and build my own coils so I wouldn't stop. But theoretically answering your question I have no idea what I'd do. Cigs taste so bad now.

I know VG is glycerin I can get from the pharmacy; but where can I get PG? What's the common name for it?
The irony of banning e-cigs but not tobacco ones! I have enough supplies to last a while and wean off the nic. If there were a law passed banning vaping, then i'd just ignore it.
You'd think that if a lot of people went for 0 nic rather than return to smoking that the government would support their efforts to adopt a healthier lifestyle? hahaha!
No - i'd not return to smoking. I like the not wheezing and the fact i can smell again.

Oh, no. Please, no. I don't ever want to smoke again. I can't imagine it. If I couldn't vape, I'd try to do whatever it took NOT to smoke again.
Ok; so it's something used in animal farming; I hear it's used in food somewhere, but I can't figure out if it's called by another name in the food industry so far. (plus of course I'd rather look from food grade compared to farm animal grade).
I was a heavy, heavy smoker that couldn't quit with pills/gums/patches.
I'm amazed that I can go long periods without vaping. I've even gone out shopping and things without bringing my PV. Something I never would/could have done smoking. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not nearly as addicted with vaping as I was with smoking.
I'd do everything in my power not to smoke. I hated it with a passion. I really hope I wouldn't.
Edit: I do have my reo and at least 2 years worth of nicotine in the freezer- more if I reduce nicotine.

I would try very hard, but with as angry as I would be if vaping were banned, I probably would start smoking again out of frustration. Although, I DIY my liquids, so I could probably keep vaping anyway.
