But does anybody know of anyone doing a study of the harmful effects of vapor? The reason I ask is the VA Dept of Health has stated that PVs fall under the ban until "they" can determine what the harmful effects of the vapor are. Last time I checked "they" can't rewrite the law for what they want. Does the FDA case have any thing to do with researching this or is it just to ban the sale of e-cigs?:confused:

I was just curious if this would still apply if their order included only the battery and the empty cartridges.

Without the active nicotine in the cartridge is there anything illegal about importing such devices? Wouldn't they be similar to importing pipes?

The Virginia smoking ban is in 2 days. It is a 2 piece, but at least it's something.

Here is what I just saw on TV:

Isn't this good news?

Bill applies to restaurants, bars in Virginia; takes effect Dec. 1


This is old news... But Dec. 1st is right around the corner !! I wonder how this will effect sales of PV's?



VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - The home state of Marlboro cigarettes and the world's largest cigarette factory is banning most smoking in restaurants and bars.Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine signed a bill Monday that generally restricts smoking to separate rooms that have their own ventilation. It takes effect Dec. 1.
Twenty-three of 50 states, plus Washington, D.C., have banned smoking in most public places, including bars and restaurants. Other states debating smoking bans this year include neighboring tobacco state North Carolina, along with Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Alli Side Effects lists the side effects of the drugs with their relative percentage of occurrence. From what they tell me, is the drug forces people onto a diet or they crap their pants.

Now, for where the hope comes in, it seems like that is all it takes to get FDA approval. Market e-cigs as a way to get nicotine that makes you not want to smoke cigarettes. If someone ends up soiling themselves, we will have substantial evidence to support our claims.

Don't you just love the FDA?

Now,regular cigs contain horrible chemicals used in rat poison, welding substances, etc, etc. The ecig contains minute quantities of LESS harmful chemicals.

And in regards to PG in ecigs, from what I read, PG is in pharm medicines, foods and even condoms. Hence the fact PG is used in fireman training, theaters, clubs, etc where ppl inhale up to 50 gallons!

Ecigs are just a safer alternative. Ban sales to minors, warn the public of possible side effects and be done with it!

Actully, if I were in a position of political power and business, approving ecigs could actually create big markets...especially in the pharm dept Ecig sales have drastically increased in the past year.

With that in mind, who are they kidding that they are concerned with our health? They care about money and control, brought on by addiction and social acceptance.

-Better PR : PV's are massively healthier than analogs, no marketing a product responsible for so many deaths a year.
-No ban: enough said.
-Better equipment? I'm sure if they wanted, with their large wealth, they could easily fund R&D to create a new product that out classes what we have now for a fraction of the price.

The world is truly backwards, it's beginning to disgust me.
