According to this: COVID-19 Relief Bill Senselessly Targets Vapers Shipping via USPS, Vaping goodies will be really difficult to get.

” When I smoked, I ordered my cigarettes from a reservation in NY and saved so much money. Then shipping became illegal.”

When shipping from the ReZ became illegal...all the cool kids started buying their cigarettes from Russia!

Name brand cigs are sold to Russian businesses for pennies on the dollar, who turn around and ship them back here untaxed with no record of purchase. A carton of Kools or Winston etc was less than $20 last I knew.

Back in the ‘90’s, I could get cartons of Marlboros for $4.50 a carton.

When I started smoking, a pack cost forty five cents.

[Beagle8U]

When I started smoking a pack of Camels was 20 cents.

I quit smoking after 54 years with the JUUL device but now the little Nazi Governor in NM is raising the tax on vaping cartridges 600%!!! It’s cheaper to go back to cigarettes from the Res. They don’t have to pay federal taxes on tobacco products. Between the Rona and taxes the Dems are trying to kill off the Boomers.

Hopefully, the links on this thread will help.

[JouleZ]

Yes, thank you. I bkmkd the thread.

It stuns me how rapidly our rights are being taken away here in the USA. On one hand we have the cancel culture getting stronger every day while on the other hand our elected leaders are using the pandemic crisis to strip citizens of personal freedoms.

If someone had told me the details of the current state of affairs 15 years ago I would have scoffed. Like a tidal wave leaving destruction in its wake, our leaders have done more to destroy our rights over the past decade than any other similar time span in our nation’s history.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I have never smoked.

I have never vaped.

So I have no personal horse in this race.

But this a suppression of your freedom and that is wrong.

Are you organizing any kind of protest and what can I do to help.

[The Right Edge]

smoked Marlboro Lights for over twenty years. Tried quitting three times. Finally did it. Cold turkey! AND it was EASY. I can tell you how to quit. I won’t even ask you to pay me a penny. It’s very simple.

Are leftists simply trying to redirect vaping $ to Big Tobacco? Is it that simple?

[alternatives?]

Sadly, the use of the mail to oppress will continue to other products like ammo.

Count on social media to begin suppressing as well. Positive posts on vaping will be removed or buried. You Tube will join in as well. The deep state has a lot of tools to suppress.

[Arones]

Odd that so few give a damn, isn’t it?

I might, if I had more data.

How did vaping kill Covid for you?

Why wouldn't they? There's tons of money to be made from it.
For example:
I build my own coils and mix my own fluid.
The coil material (kanthol wire and Japanese organic cotton) can be bought for less than $17. The actual base they go into (The Rebuildable Tank Atomizer) is less than $30.
If properly maintained, that $47 can last me over a year.
The box mods can be bought for anywhere between $40-$999 (There's some really high-end devices out there).
As with the RTA, the box mods will last for years if taken care of.

The fluids I mix runs anywhere between $24-$30 per purchase. Those are bought as needed, but the nicotine and flavorings go into the smallest percentage in the mixes (Between 5-10 percent), while the majority of ingredients consist of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin -which are very cheap and widely available.
I can make a 30ML bottle of fluid that would last me a week for about 75 cents. But the vape shops charge between $5-$30. They also charge between $3-$12 for their pre-built coil atomizers.

By banning shipment of these items (Not just to the consumer, but also to the businesses that sell them), they make it more of an inconvenience for the end user, and they eventually will go for the more easily attainable products that are sold almost everywhere: Cigarettes.

Therefore...More tax revenue for the government.

How did vaping kill Covid for you?

Propylene glycol, the primary ingredient in the electronic cigarette cartridge, may be a powerful deterrent against pneumonia, influenza, and other respiratory diseases when vaporized and inhaled according to a study by Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson.

Very informative. Thank you.
