Does anyone think that if this passes that the president will veto a bill called "The Safe Kids Act"?
And since this is not specifically targeting flavored real tobacco products, will the tobacco industry fight it? Or will they be glad for vaping to take a major hit?
This could turn out very badly.

Really glad I vape nothing but DIY. All you folks that still buy ejuice better be raising some hell with your senators, or you're gonna have to learn DIY PDQ.

Guess if the law happens to pass, future vapers will need to join VU to figure out how to mix juice real quickly.

I suspect that big tobacco is behind this as they plan on having an FDA approved smoking cessation device, and it CAN have flavors...


“(B) does not include a product that—

“(i) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for sale as a tobacco cessation product or for another therapeutic purpose; and

“(ii) is marketed and sold solely for a purpose described in (i).”.

Might have to open a local DIY school. Just for mixing flavored VG for body massage purposes of course :D

Whatever senator "sponsored" the bill, you can betcherass that they're getting a nice present from BP/BT, since this would in effect simply kill vaping as we currently know it. We really need some whistleblowers examining the finances of those who've ostensibly "sponsored" this bill.

OHH WAIT!

I had not checked the party so it is likely a false alarm becuase no dem bill will pass.


Probable reprieve.

It is co-sponsored by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Rep. Alaska)

These dumbasses have gone as far as to claim the drop in teen smoking (which coincides with the rise of vaping) is actually due to the anti-smoking lobby (ie: shills like Tobacco Free Kids, etc) not not the fact kids that were likely to try smoking cigarettes are now vaping instead

Yes, I have emailed and sent a real letter to that turncoat Lisa

Sigh... Makes about as much sense as saying I can't have a Captain & Coke on the rocks because it tastes better than a warm Natty Light, so it's more appealing to kids.

Haven't heard anything about either idiot, I assume their up for reelection this year?

Murkowski isn't up again for a few more years - but I never voted for her ever ever ever in the first place

Oh yeah, her first term in the US Senate she was appointed to the seat (no elected) by her father :mad:

For the children!

What's wrong with you people, don't you like kids?

It's right in the title. “Stopping Appealing Flavors in E-Cigarettes for Kids Act”

:giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle::giggle:

Evil bastards that don't like kids. You know who you are. You prolly hate old people too and want to fix SS and medicare. You hate poor people. You hate immigrants. You hate school children that get shot.

All you care about is keeping your rights and freedoms! You need to give up your rights to vape tasty juice. And keep your own money. And protect yourself. It's for the children,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and the old people,,,,,,,,,,and the poor people,,,,,,,,,,,,,and the illegal immigrant children. Damn it!

Sorry folks. "For the kids" and banning tasty vapes is just the tip of the iceberg. ;)
