However, you would NOT get this kind of reaction, if people were not afraid of the big bad government. You are right, the LAST thing we need is home brewed nicotine. But people have found a viable alternative to putting smoke from a burning fire with 4000 chemicals into their lungs, and they don't want the government to quash it. In fact, to some it seems INSANE that the government would even consider it. To me, it make perfect sense. It's exactly what I expected them to do. And have been expecting them to do for the last year. They're just now getting around to it, because 30 to 40 thousand more ecigs are sold in the US each week.

They can holler they're marketing them to children (how stupid), or that they're unknown carcinogens in them, and they need more "study" and so on. But ANYONE who's been vaping for a month or so will know the difference. Your health improves IMMEDIATELY, breathing better, more stamina, better taste, better smell, but yet according to the FDA, it might be worse than cigarettes. But we know what it's all about. The FDA, and the entire federal government could give a ____ less about your health when it comes to cigarettes. We cannot let a 300 billion dollar industry be superseded UNLESS we control it.

We would love for you to keep killing yourself, in fact we're going to give you no choice but to keep killing yourself, or quit, which we know you can't do. So we gotcha. And we get to make 3 to 5 dollars a pack tax money as the government, and Phillip Morris gets to make about the same thing, depending on what part of the country you're in.

Along comes this "ecig" and throws a monkey wrench into it. We can't have that. Damn those Chinese for inventing it!

Bottom line, enjoy it while you can, another six months, year, who knows? I've been a smoker for 45 years, and haven't had or wanted a cigarette for a month. And these SOB's want to tell me they're LOOKING out for my own good?

Well, it will only get worse until 1776 happens all over again. And then we're in a world of hurt.

I've seen a few posts that say 'write your congressman'. Do you really think they care? Now, if it was 'send your congressman a million dollars', then they MIGHT listen.

We'll (our side)might can keep this thing tied up in court for a few months, maybe even more than a year, but we all know eventually if the hens are suing the fox, and the judge is a fox, we know where it ends up. How can you fairly sue the federal government when the judge WORKS for the federal government? It's like asking me am I guilty?

Again, enjoy them while you can, stock up, and get ready to quit altogether, or spend the big bucks to kill yourself.
