“Comparable in toxicity to conventional nicotine replacement products”

So they aren’t any more toxic than the patch or other such products. The only difference is that they aren’t regulated (yet) by the FDA. Meaning of course, the mechanisms aren’t in place yet to tax them to death. Because anyone who is conservative should know, that’s the FDA’s motivation.

That’s the government’s motivation really. They see an untapped revenue stream and they want their cut. Just like the mobsters they are. So they need a justification to tax them more than just by sales tax. Anyone who says differently, anyone who says this is only for concern for the “public health”, is deluding themselves.

The only reason this isn’t being done for caffeinated products is because caffeine is too popular. It’s use isn’t demonized like nicotine use. They are both drugs though, and both stimulants. And with the e-cigarette delivery system, there is no difference between consuming either (in their respective non-toxic amounts because yes, both are also poisons in the right amount)

Think about that over your next cup-o-Joe.

So you ascribe to the FDA a motive that is not written in the law authorizing them. And then proceed to claim anyone who doesn't recognize that the motive you have impugned the FDA with, must not be conservative.

Well, I reject your reality and substitute my own. The FDA is there for safety. They don't get the taxes, so they don't care about taxes. And true conservatives don't go around making up motives for other people just to try to make their argument.

And your comparison of caffeine to Nicotine is off base too. There is really no comparison. Pros and Cons of caffiene Pros and Cons of nicotine
