E-cigs should be regulated to ensure product safety only bigwillq Mar 2014 #5

Product safety and advertising. Ms. Toad Mar 2014 #6

I have mixed feelings on that. Ms. Toad Mar 2014 #26

no they should not. Sunlei Mar 2014 #56

How hard is it to convert a zero-nicotine e-cig into a nicotine-containing one? jmowreader Mar 2014 #79

I'm in between the first two. nt ZombieHorde Mar 2014 #10

I'm against flavored e-cigs... penultimate Mar 2014 #11

You are right for the non-nicotine etherealtruth Mar 2014 #22

Why does a lack of nicotine make them safe? CreekDog Mar 2014 #53

I agree with you. I don't see any reason to have kids inhale 'scents' or 'flavors' other than they Sunlei Mar 2014 #67

agree 100% CreekDog Mar 2014 #75

I can't imagine why energumen Mar 2014 #77

For product safety and age restriction Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #13

I enjoy smoking as well, as bad as that sounds bigwillq Mar 2014 #14

Why is enjoyable about smoking? I understand the addiction. But cannot understand how..... Logical Mar 2014 #28

I find the process of smoking enjoyable and relaxing bigwillq Mar 2014 #30

Hmmm.... one of those things I guess I will never understand. Like people snorting coke, etc. n-t Logical Mar 2014 #31

Cool. I won't bore you with another story then...... bigwillq Mar 2014 #32

I appreciate your story though. Thanks!! nt Logical Mar 2014 #44

It's an acquired taste Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #42

That's a little difficult to answer. sibelian Mar 2014 #61

Since people have been smoking Mariana Mar 2014 #64

I second the product safety and age restriction meow2u3 Mar 2014 #16

Since I'm not sure what "sin" means, except contextually, I can't vote in this poll... CTyankee Mar 2014 #17

Vaping is not a sin meow2u3 Mar 2014 #19

OK, I am really talking about the science attached to this... CTyankee Mar 2014 #23

I hate the sin tax on cigs in CT bigwillq Mar 2014 #20

I don't understand a tobacco tax when you have no health system Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #43

Not sure about soda but isn't fast food taxed? CTyankee Mar 2014 #50

They are taxed bigwillq Mar 2014 #57

Healthy food should be taxed MORE than bad food? Can you clarify that? CTyankee Mar 2014 #58

Fast food should be taxed more than healthy food (nt) bigwillq Mar 2014 #59

that's what I thought... CTyankee Mar 2014 #60

This time change messes with me bigwillq Mar 2014 #62

They sound tempting Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #40

What do you want to regulate? krawhitham Mar 2014 #24

I think some folks just want to control others and their choices The Straight Story Mar 2014 #25

It's counter to libertarianism gollygee Mar 2014 #34

not opposed to regulation but choice limitation in things The Straight Story Mar 2014 #37

The government regulates cigarettes because they don't want children to use them gollygee Mar 2014 #38

You can't tell if someone around you is using one Mariana Mar 2014 #69

The control are the major tobacco firm's stranglehold on those who smoke. TheBlackAdder Mar 2014 #39

+1,000,000,000!!! Ghost in the Machine Mar 2014 #74

Most of the voters here want to regulate product safety, Curmudgeoness Mar 2014 #35

Question remains, what do you want to regulate? What do you believe is currently unsafe? krawhitham Mar 2014 #47

It really is simple. Curmudgeoness Mar 2014 #49

I want to regulate the nicotine Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #41

It's not about the flavor it is about the nicotine. Tikki Mar 2014 #29

If you use an E-Cig... Just admit the nicotine dependence and oral fixation needs. nt TheBlackAdder Mar 2014 #33

Why would anyone want to ban vaping in public places? Curmudgeoness Mar 2014 #36

Some folks have problems with mouths; the things going in them... Eleanors38 Mar 2014 #46

Why should people be allowed to use a tobacco product in a way that doesn't smell or bother anybody Douglas Carpenter Mar 2014 #48

That's pretty noticeable too :) who wants to carry a coke can around. Sunlei Mar 2014 #55

People already do that. Mariana Mar 2014 #66

I have thought the same thing, but not an asthma inhaler Curmudgeoness Mar 2014 #68

Most of the kits come with batteries that have LED's on them. Mariana Mar 2014 #70

If people stop smoking cigarettes and instead smoke ecigs, isn't that am improvement? ... spin Mar 2014 #78

Sure - let's get the government to regulate them like they do ohheckyeah Mar 2014 #71
