That means a company like Nicopure cannot know ahead of time which of its products are covered by the regulations. It can only find out by asking the FDA about each one,

Actually, there is another way. Continue to sell no-nic liquids without asking the FDA until they try to "enforce" their absurd definition. Then you've got standing for a very clean court case to challenge that definition.

Pretty much what I was saying before reading the deeming regs, keep making juice, keep making new flavors, either mixed in base or separate. Let others sell the nicotine. Should be pretty clear way to introduce new flavors, keep your business running, etc., except the deeming regs say that if it can be used in a product that is used or can be used for nicotine consumption, then it's also a tobacco product. So basically everything they sell is a tobacco product, regardless of whether there is any tobacco in it. As well, if it even tastes like tobacco, it's tobacco. By that logic, it's legal to use the "got milk" slogan on aritificially flavored milk shake vapes because, well, if they taste like dairy, then they're dairy. I feel bad for the Jewish folks who can no longer use Cremora in their coffee after a meat meal.
