I may never eat again!!!

Just stay away from processed prepackaged food as much as possible, and you should be fine.

So, if they intend to regulate them like tobacco, that could possibly be the end of internet/mail-order sales?
I don't see how they can regulate them like tobacco if they contain no tobacco.   :wallbash:

Tobacco has a "sin" tax attached. The FDA knows that you know tobacco is bad, and so charges you lots of tax to counterbalance the cost of treating you after you've contracted a disease due to tobacco use.

If the FDA says e-cigs are safe, then there should be nothing other than a potential sales tax.

My response from the NY assembly:

June 6, 2011

Dear Constituent,


This is in response to your letter regarding Assembly Bill A1468.  This bill seeks to ban the sale and distribution of items containing or delivering nicotine that are not currently classified as tobacco products or approved as tobacco use cessation or harm reduction products by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and also to prevent minors from purchasing these products.   Thank you for taking the time to write and advise me of your views and concerns.
  
I do not support this bill in its current form.  I voted against it in Health Committee and unless amendments are made to it, I will be voting against it should it come to the floor of the Assembly for a full vote.
  
If either my staff or I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at 845-463-1635 or via email at millerj@assembly.state.ny.us.
  
Thank you again for writing.
  
Sincerely,
