People who want to ban e-cigs are the useful idiots of Big Tobacco

[rainbow4321]

77. I've been vaping for 2 months

Quit the cigs that I smoked---pack per day for 7 years.

The groups that have a vested interest in anti-ecigs: Big tobacco, pharmaceutical companies (makers of nic patches/gum and pills---i.e Chantix, etc..), and the government agencies who collect tobacco tax.
Think of it as all their lobbyists pouring their combined money into convincing the public and pols into somehow how bad ecigs are...and by trying to tax, tax, tax ejuices and ecig hardware. One city (think San Diego) is trying to pass a law that vaping wouldn't even be allowed IN vaping shops..um, people go there to test ejuices before they purchase them...no one is going to randomly buy the ejuice unless they try the samples. Washington state is in the process of trying to add like a 90% tax on ecig juices and products.
Sure the big tobacco companies are already trying to get a piece of pie by having their little ecig versions but I can tell you from the various vaping forums I visit---vapors do NOT want to give big tobacco ANY more of their money. While people wanting to quit smoking may start out with a big tobacco product, they usually advance to other ecigs once they start to learn more about the available options from online forums, friends, other vapors.
All of the groups I mentioned are no doubt flooding the media with "scary" ecig faux "facts" in hopes of swaying the low-information public into thinking vaping is just as bad as smoking.
