Re: So the bar is now much higher for e-cig makers
"Great idea, our friends in the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries will be really happy with us for that! They've been loosing loads of money thanks to these devices"
Knew I wouldn't have to wait long for that to come up. Its the same argument with homeopathy and "big pharma"
My response - do you really think that if Brittish Tobbaco was that worried about loss of sales that they would just sit back and say... "Ah well fuck it, we had our day." No You'd see Marlborough, Silk Cut and B&H branded liquids and vaping machines on the counters in minutes and all off the smaller manufacturers out on their arses.
Same with homeopathy - You can knock "big pharma" all you want and say that they are suppressing evidence that it works, but really it would be in their interests to prove sugar pills cure cancer because
a. They are cheap to produce and
b. The markup is ridiculous.
As for B&T vaping would make them MORE money if they got into it because production costs would be much lower.
Realistically all that is happening here is that the rules for vaping are being brought inline with normal cigarettes.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
