US warns liquid nicotine makers: Packages can’t look like kids’ candy

Well, the issue always was that the idiot adults were the ones that would buy it and wave it around.

Same sorta' thing as the nitwits that vape "clouds, bro" out in the "'dane world" - it offends the sensibilities of the Muggles, and you already know the last couple decades are all about "I am offended".

(If I really cared, I'd love to dive into a 'study' of the packaging: if it's more professional looking, is it a better product or worse?)

In what universe does this look like "candy packaging":

In nearly 57 yrs of life, I have NEVER seen any candy pkging that even slightly resembled this.

Well, my glycube has the same issues. Bastards are all about Professional! ;-)

You will never, ever convince the unwashed majority to mix their own, learn some courtesy, or even act responsibly. (Btw, depressing as it sounds, everyone I work with uses - almost exclusively - fat, tall squeeze bottles with cartoon-colorful labels and idiotic names. I despair of ever getting them to just bloody mix their own)

I'm trying to figure out why I should care about idiots like that having continued recourse to such asinine products. I really don't. If they're too stupid to figure out for themselves how to keep vaping once the FDA gets done showing its collective bureaucratic ass, not my problem.

I don't really give a rat's-ass about the idiots, (nor the I-Am-Offended dickweeds), but.. Between the two we always get gefuckt at the legislative and judicial levels. Never Fails.

I'm set to continue for years, either way, and I don't much care about the local, state or federal. It's still a level of frustration with fools above and below and around.

Never been to a b&m that didn't carry such shit - nor hump&dump.

Note also that a ton of the stuff Joe posts on sale will similarly be packaged.

You act like accuracy and Truth matters.. Have you been hiding for 50 of those years?

Yeah, mostly; I'm mostly a hermit.. because those things DO matter to me.

Nothing wrong with basic self-morales and courtesy. just never, ever expect it from The World.

It's actually worse than Trust out here.

I rather think they are talking about mixed bottles of E-Liquid. You know the bottles with a label that looks like Captain Crunch Cereal or Gummy Bears/.

Just print a label with the usual warnings, mix ratios and the name of the flavor and have done with it.

Problem solved!

The problem will never be solved, because the problem is sub-normal intelligence -- it's an epidemic! ;)

You're right, considering that *I* was one of the 24,000 and I haven't bought ejuice in god only knows how long; 2-3 yrs at the very least. So whatever happens to "flavored ejuice" is really immaterial to me, I make my own, and I really can't see FDA making "flavors" illegal, I think the "Big Food" would have a lot to say about that. But I know that pre-made ejuice is significant to those just starting, and this really pisses me off. I guess "homosapiens" aren't supposed to like good flavors in anything.

Hobbiest vapers on boards are a tiny minority of vapers.

<shrug> Joining and Expecting.. It's worse than 'party-affiliation' and waving a poster with all your whole gunsafe contents for the world to see.. With a map to the safe on the other side.

I fail to understand why anyone would expect vapers to just trot on out and fill out surveys - it worked so well when we were smokers? It works so well for gun-owners?

I'd rather see the vendors form their organization and wave their signs in mobs while chanting - and filling out surveys. In fact, several years back several organizations like CASAA were born - all about getting legislation passed.

Congrats, legislation all over the place. Next?
