I have a friend that lives in a small town near Marseilles
and for the past week he had been moaning that the politicians are out to make
his days of smoking e cigarettes a thing of the past. Yesterday morning he even
called me saying he was going to migrate to the US just so he could vape for a
few more days until the FDA unleashes their own regulations, luckily for Pierre
it seems that the European politicians had far bigger fish to fry. And with most US e cig brands such as Blu Cigs already
operating in Europe, I figured that once he enjoyed them he would be OK. I had
introduced him to vaping when he came over one summer to visit and after that
he was hooked and when he discovered that he could also get the same electronic
cigarette brand in France he was in 9th heaven.
Lately there had been reports that there are going to be
regulations that will make it hard for the e cigarette manufacturer to release
new flavors, nicotine levels as they would now be regulated by the same
standards as medicines. This would mean that the regular rate at which we were
all used to getting new products and new innovations from vapor cigarette
manufacturers would be drastically cut as each and every level of innovation
would have to be verified and approved before being passed for public use. Thus
it would mean that product release would take forever.
For Pierre that was the last straw a fate worse than death
and he started to complain that the whole European Union Parliament was out to
deny him his God given right to vape. But now he is happy and he even called me
early this morning extending his home should the FDA not take the hint from the
EU and I decide to migrate so that I could continue to vape my Blu Cig..
Hmmm food for thought though, who knows?
