Mine is, yes Prophet 451 Apr 2014 #13

Good. Then that's what we should have here, too. n/t pnwmom Apr 2014 #58

As if there was some large monoltihic company controlling ecigs Egnever Apr 2014 #8

You're info is outdated. Just one e-cig manufacturer, Lorillard, controls half the market. pnwmom Apr 2014 #9

Again you dont have a clue what you are talking about Egnever Apr 2014 #14

I've tried to explain this to her before. Liberal Veteran Apr 2014 #16

"some" of them don't vape the big brands. But Lorrilard still controls half the market, pnwmom Apr 2014 #21

Do you how much harder it is to track sales of refillable e-cigs? Liberal Veteran Apr 2014 #33

They control 45.5% of the CONVENIENCE STORE Market krawhitham Apr 2014 #55

I started with one of those disposables Prophet 451 Apr 2014 #22

You're the one without a clue. Lorillard dominates the market of ALL these devices, pnwmom Apr 2014 #18

the fact that you call them vape pens says it all Egnever Apr 2014 #20

What you don't understand is that the name doesn't matter, pnwmom Apr 2014 #23

Lorillard in Favor of e-Cigs Regulation Egnever Apr 2014 #28

Lorillard may own a small particular segment of the market energumen Apr 2014 #36

Lorillard controls half the market of all the vaporizing nicotine dispensers. pnwmom Apr 2014 #41

No they dont. Egnever Apr 2014 #47

Do children vape pot in a gummy bear flavor, pnwmom Apr 2014 #19

This is what I was replying to.. Jesus Malverde Apr 2014 #24

I don't hate harm reduction for adults. But children can go online pnwmom Apr 2014 #25

Oh OK....I see this is about competition for the tobacco companies. Jesus Malverde Apr 2014 #26

Agreed she seems to be concerned that tobacco will lose sales Egnever Apr 2014 #29

The OP likes the attention. Jesus Malverde Apr 2014 #32

Absolutely Egnever Apr 2014 #38

And now you're arguing that sweet flavours shouldn't exist Prophet 451 Apr 2014 #30

Not AGAINST it, necessarily Glitterati Apr 2014 #56

when i read how congress can not come together to do anything questionseverything Apr 2014 #65

I think heavy taxation would be a mistake Prophet 451 Apr 2014 #40

It's exactly what they did with nicotine patches, etc. Glitterati Apr 2014 #57
