Wha...They won't and can't ban e-cigarettes. What are they gonna ban? A battery? An atomizer? It's ridiculous! The only thing they can do is regulate nicotine either as a tobacco product or a medical product. Either way, e-cig vendors are completely done for...<br /><br />...but so are Pharma AND Big Tobacco because people will just start importing the components to make their own from China. Customs will probably find only a small amount of imported nicotine from which people import. Vapers will still communicate though forums and there'll be another criminal black market to worry about, sucking money from the economy.<br /><br />If politicians and the FDA have any sense they'll let Trading Standards regulate the industry. Cigarettes are gonna die out soon, and so will NRT as a result, so why not embrace electronic vapourizers now?<br /><br /><br /><br />As for all that nonsense about how the fruit and candy flavours may attract children, does that mean they're gonna ban any sweet flavoured alcohol? Surely this attracts children to Alcohol?SGParkinsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-38176914273127917972013-02-19T03:07:02.124+00:002013-02-19T03:07:02.124+00:00The only part of an e-cigarette that is "toba...The only part of an e-cigarette that is "tobacco product" is the small amount of nicotine in the e-liquid. The rest is "a component" that *may* be used to build a viable e-cigarette.<br /><br />Now... I've lost count of the times I've seen mobile phones used a bomb component so why haven't mobile phones been outright banned as "terrorist products". <br /><br />Ooops....I shouldn't give them ideas...Tattynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-85310237043207410272013-02-19T02:56:23.033+00:002013-02-19T02:56:23.033+00:00NY
