Most people can tell the hysters out there from the guys that really know what they're talking about. There are lots of them in every major metro now. The people selling you juice at the smoke shop isn't necessarily indicative of most politically active juice shops. Those are more the b and M that I'm referring to. If they make their own liquids as many in my area do, they have a financial interest in not having to register as a lab to make e-liquid. Plus think liquid nicotine at 3x the price but half the potency and no selling to unregistered persons. I.e. you and me.
Unfortunately, they all seem to think of my state last.. we have a ton of shops here, maybe 100 b&m's in the entire state, but in half the upstate.. there is only one b&m 'chain', that makes their own juice.. and they only own 3 shops here and one out of state.. the rest, depend on juice makers for their juice.. or are pretty much a hole in the wall, where you can pay for month to month cell phone service, or in convenience stores.. My state is close to the last in schooling, and tends to attract manufacturing.. very few skilled white collar jobs.. and i know we pick our own cotton and tobacco, still. welcome to Southern Living at it's finest..
As for selling nic, they will have to fight the farmers of our country in order to remove pure nic off the market.. and that may or may not happen so fast.. I make my own juice, and I do have a stockpile.. My great grands will not run out of nic
But i do hope and try to encourage everyone to pay attention.. like i said.. it comes down to local politics and works up from there.. My state will be the last to enforce regs.. and I hope it stays this way.
There are a lot of those in my area. Won't go in and I steer new vapers away from those places. They're having a tough time quitting the smokes and moving to vaping, why provide the more dangerous option to them? besides, most of the owners of B&M's that sell cigs are smoke shop owners who want to capitalize on the market. They could give a rats ass what their customers buy.
and yeps it's not hard to spot who doesn't have vaping in their best interest.. its sad.. I feel the same way you do
