Time to start stocking up on ****, 90 days until this bull**** ass law goes into effect.
Ya it's completely ridiculous that they want to lump ecigs into the same category as cigarettes and other actual tobacco products when there isn't even any tobacco in them. They even admit that ecigs aren't as harmful as cigarettes.
If it wasn't for vaping I'd still be smoking. Patches made me sick and the gum tastes like ****. Neither of them provide the same stimulation as smoking. Vaping is the closest you can get.
Now, I
can understand them banning the sale of e-juice to minors
if it contains nicotine, since that's the actual drug aspect of it. Other than that, what's the point? McDonald's is ****ing terrible for you too, but you don't see the government banning teens from buying Big Mac's.
Some people do it as a cheaper alternative to smoking, so if the government taxes e-juice even more that's kind of counter-productive.
What I'm most worried about is if they get taxed so much to the point where it's just too expensive, and a lot of the small e-juice makers won't be able to support themselves any more because if the price goes up too much they'll lose business. I mean, it's possible to make your own juice, but I don't feel like putting in that much effort, and I'd like to continue supporting these small businesses if I can. Yaaaay big government.
