    H ave any of you guys heard the Advert on radio at the moment for some crappy NRT product ,

    goes like this, one person says to the other, how are you getting on with your Ecig are you still getting the cravings ? , dont forget to call into your chemist for BLA BLA BLA (insert phara NRT product here)

    What a pile of S H I E E E E E T, im really getting violently angry about all the negative propaganda in the press all going unchallenged as well.

    Washington have legislation in place now waiting to be voted on proposing a 95% :eek: tax on Ecigs and a ban on internet sales.

    If that comes in , it will be copied all over, criminal acts against humanity in my book :mad: .

    It goes from bad to worse , water charges next, just get use to that when they will drop universal health care on us, sad state of affairs

    Yeah. their nicorette product will eliminate nicotine cravings within 60 secs etc.
    What can you do but keep the faith?
    What i'm concerned about is how the government will plan to make money off us poor innocent vapers.

    Many argue that the reason state and local leaders are pushing so hard to tax e-cigarettes is because they’ve become addicted to the massive amounts of money brought in...
    So America's trying to lump them in with tobacco products, even though they don't, by and large, contain tobacco. Surely their courts will through that out fairly quickly.

    God forbid they have to go back to generating taxes the way they did traditionally. You know, on profits.

    Better eliquids are lumped in with tobacco products than the pharmaceutical industry, I for one dont fancy having to get eliquids by prescription.

    Why should they be lumped in with either, is there anything else they can possibly tax/screw us for, why dont they just were balaclavas and rob people good n proper once a week and be done with it

    The shouldnt, but you know as well as i do that if the government thinks it can squeeze people it will.
    And the anti smoking crowd in their ignorance will be patting them on the back for it.

    I'm just enjoying this limbo for as long as it lasts.

    Can sticks of dynamite be ordered online , i know where id love to shove several sticks of the stuff, now where did i put that lighter :D

    Well i have everything i could need for a long time except flavors , and if the worst happens i will try to ween myself off as supplies get low, but its the injustice lies and downright skullduggery of the whole thing that has me feeling like becoming an activist .

    It would be amazing if every smoker in the country all stopped smoking tomorrow, i would really LOVE to see what the government would do, probably be a new campaign, FREE cigarettes in kids boxes of cereal

    And those fvckers up at leinster house are so full of gas you could probably see the explosion in cork.

    Its weird, dont know wether to jump up and down or stay quiet, Politicians are so far behind that half of them probably never even heard of e cigarettes but at the same time they can hear 2 coins tinkle from a hundred yards.

    If they ever do get around to extra taxing ecigarettes you can be caught sure theyll be telling us that they are doing us a favour.

    the government are losing millions of euros from the tobacco tax they take.off people due to people now using e cigs, they have banned them in hospitals and thats just the beginning, they will spread propoganda and lies soon that ecigs are very bad for your health blah blah blah... then what will they do? yes you have guessed it they will tax ecigs like tobacco so they can scam more money off people... absolute bastards is what they are
