Do you think E-Cigs will be banned in the US?

PS - to any of you who would apologize for Big tobacco or somehow think they would be cool about ANYTHING in ANY way, observe...

THIS is Big tobacco's answer to e-smoking:

Diculous in 2008, diculous again looking at it again just now; that is to say, it's worthy of ridicule.

Yeah, but then e-cigs will be limited to those with the knowledge and capabilities to make e-cigs in a garage, and the people that have connections with such a person. Potential vapers would rarely have the opportunity to learn about e-cigs. Eventually with the help of big tobacco it would become a forgotten thing of the past.

that's not true - i dare them to ban e-cigs i'll have a job as a supplier to those who can't or don't want to make them...lol i'll just simply sell them as something else *shrug*

i have no love for the way this country is turning out - i didn't like it when they started usurping our freedoms YEARS ago and i don't like their latest wave of b.s.

What if coffee was illegal.

You would have people like Bill Clinton saying I sipped but didn't swallow.

Oprah would go on and on about how she was up to two pots a day.

People would be on the corner with bags of Colombian beans, going man I go the good stuff right hear.


Who knows if they try and ban them it might actually make them more popular.

I LOL good post......and you could be right

I saw this on another thread. Has anyone heard this, or know anything about it?

Thank You

New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo

The man who pushed HARD for the New York eCig ban. His bill was signed into law, eCigs can no longer be sold in the State of New York.

Andrew M. Cuomo - DEMOCRAT.

I think the odds right now are about 65% regulate / 35% ban / 0% do nothing.
And I'm kinda wondering what anyone who voted "Nothing" is thinking.

 

[Latham]

I agree, we will have to pay tribute to the government somehow.

Do you have any links for this story? Man, I can't believe this. How does something like this happen because of 1 guy? ONE GUY? What is his beef with e-cigs anyway. Who is paying him is probably the real question.

I don't want him for MY governor that's for sure!!!! wouldn't vote for him if you paid me!

 

[rockyroad]

I don't know exactly but I will assume this is the deep lung delivery device the tobacco company ( Phillip Morris is who I heard ) developed a few years ago and tried to sell it to the Pharm. company's....or something like that. Looks like a "D" battery device Looks like a wonderful sturdy plastic Apollo thermometer type mod. How long will it last? now there's a pole....
A. 1 hr.
B. 1 day
C. not at all

 

[HeatherC]

I'd say not more than an hour...

current president can't keep up with the demands of his job. I don't see him focusing too hard on this subject before his term is up.

Gov't generally move very slow. I don't see any real legislation for or against e cigs in the near future. (I'm focusing on the US govt, not the individual states).

But hey I've been wrong before.

It's not about the government banning them, it's about the FDA banning them.
And that is essentially what will happen if the decision in the current court case goes their way.

Anything not specific to the constitution is under the authority of the states. There are still dry counties were prohibition is the law.

For instance, in Michigan you can't buy booze on Sundays or Christmas or Easter. If the Feds tried that again it would get booted, but states can pull it off.

Of course we still have prohibition on other stuff at the Federal level so anything could happen.

Just so, the states have far more latitude than the federal gov't.
Unfortunately, the feds have little regard for the constitution.
Where in the constitution is the authority to control substances granted?
It isn't.
The feds have no lawful authority to control or prohibit substances, or to create the FDA.
They simply do as they please, without regard for the law.

The Government will do whatever it can to make money. If they can tax it, they won't worry about banning it.
