Question

Im sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.. It seems like its in the right place.

Assuming our beloved vaping devices or the liquid are banned.. wouldn't it be possible for manufacturers to sell the parts separately I mean.. I doubt there would ever be laws against the import of batteries, heating elements and devices that can hold liquid right? For the DIY guys.. the pure nicotine isn't taxed and currently legal to sell right? I also doubt they would ban or tax nicotine or any of the ingredients found in our juice.. A lot of people use nic for pesticides as far as I know particularly commercial farms... and PG is often used as a preservative.. VG, and flavors shouldn't be subject to anything either.. I'm just wondering, hopefully this question isn't completely misplaced.

Hungary can not be marketed as nicotine, I'm buying U.S.. PG and VG freely available in pharmacies (mostly). The question now under control, but very slowly. (here all). Liquids implicitly approved the sale but not fully legal.

I hope you are able to continue buying your nic freely!

It is impossible to 'ban' anything that large numbers of people want and will pay for - it just isn't possible. What will happen though is that if regulations are brought in that restrict sales or some aspect of sales, the market will change, and possibly drastically.

For example ecig companies might need to go offshore in some way or another, or split their websites up so that some products are sold elsewhere, and so on.

One thing that will certainly happen is that prices will go up. Bans just raise the price, because supply becomes more convoluted. In the end most if not all bans will be removed, because when there are 30 million vapers it becomes a voting issue - but that might take a couple of decades.

Another factor is that in general the population will support smokers changing to ecigs, as there are few negatives of any consequence, and many positive attributes. Once the ecig industry is big enough they will be able to counter the pharmaceutical industry's propaganda.
