Let me see here....
this is how it will go down if the FDA has their way
first off the banning of E cigs....or at least ones that don't carry the FDA stamp of approval...that will cost the vendors oh who knows how much to get approval...several companies will fold.
Next they will go after the e-liquid producers....
we have to approve your manufacturing methods to make sure they meet our "strict" guidelines...
Many will go out of business because they DO fail their "tests" or they don't want to bother being watched over by big brother government.
So now we have a small handful of e cig manufacturers and a small handful of e liquid manufacturers.
e liquid from china will contain lead paint so it will be made illegal too.
NOW here it where it will get interesting.
RJ Reynolds and Phillip Morris will obtain patents on the e-cigs by paying the struggling businesses the right to get these patents and manufacture the e cigs.
Next the same two tobacco giants will enlist the aid of some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies to work with them to create a pharmaceutical grade liquid nicotine that can only be obtained at your local pharmacy and the nicotine in them is provided by....you guessed it....the two tobacco giants.
the FDA wins, the tobacco companies win, the pharmaceutical companies win.
and we lose
