I had a fairly successful ecig business but saw this writing on the wall so I exited. I smoked a pack a day for 25 years. Father died of smoking related cancer and I was unable to keep a death bed promise I made to him, I couldn't quit smoking. Ecigs hit the scene a year after his passing and I used them to finally quit my addiction. This was years before vape shops and easy access at gas stations. Spent $5000 ordering a custom bulk supply of the devices from China and learned how to mix ejuice. Ended up selling a few thousand kits at near cost to kick start adoption and save the lives of hopelessly addicted smokers I saw lives saved, I saw hope restored. I saw big tobacco fight like hell to demonize the product as it was costing them souls.
This move isn't surprising. Kids will simply start smoking instead of vaping. Lives will be lost following our loss of freedom. Free to kill yourself if big tobacco makes a profit, not free to use a less harmful alternative.
