FDA regulations could kill the vaping industry
WVLT - CBS Local ^ | May 25, 2016 | By Lauren Davis

Knoxville vape companies are fuming mad after the FDA passed new regulations this month. They say this new law will put an end to the vaping industry.

They are shocked at how far reaching the regulations are, and now they're afraid the new restrictions will destroy the industry.

Hunter Allison with Tri State Vape Company will have to submit an application for each new product. He says that would come with a hefty price tag. Allison says, "The absolutely lowest price I've seen is $300,000 per product and that's $4.5 million for me and there's no possible way.

He's already put $150,000 into his e-liquid manufacturing company.

He says more money will put him out of business.

Store owners say they've made some major contributions to the community employing 15 people and generating $280,000 in tax revenue. They say new regulations will put them out of business, and they won't be the only ones. Bill Livezey says, "They've basically blanketed the industry with such rigorous standards that no one is going to survive this."

Pharmaceuticals for quitting tobacco are big money also.

The Declaration of Independence wasn’t a grant of government power. That rests solely to the Constitution.

Who is pimping death? Who do you think you are that can tell another person what they can and can not be “addicted” too?

You didn’t even both the questions I asked you the first time and you lied in your partial response. I don’t expect you would answer more questions I had any better. Your answers did reveal that you are in no way a constitutional conservative.

I’m calling you a statist and I don’t pimp death and addiction.
There are no bigger pimps of death than statists anyway.

You’re a liar as well as a statist. I guess that goes hand in hand.
