Vape Jugs Is Closed

We started vaping as a means to quit smoking and we know that's the case for most of you as well. It is estimated that there are over 1 billion smokers in the world. (Yes, that's billion with a "b.") Vaping is a consumer-driven revolution -- an escape from smoking -- which has the potential to be the greatest public health intervention humanity has ever seen. We are humbled and blessed to have played a small part in that.



Although it has grown in popularity world-wide and helped millions to get away from cigarettes, the vaping movement faces serious challenges in the United States and around the globe. On August 8, 2016 the FDA "deemed" vapor products to be tobacco products and started a countdown to the end of the vaping industry as we know it. Several onerous regulations have already come to pass and more are on the way. It has become too costly and risky for a small, family business like ours to comply with them.



Recently the FDA announced plans to prohibit the sale of flavored e-cigarettes in convenience stores, drug stores, and gas stations (although cigarettes will remain.) It has also discussed plans to restrict online sales of vapor products as well as bans on many or all flavored eliquids. Hundreds of local municipalities, cities, and counties around the country have already proposed or enacted bans on flavored vapor products. New York State plans to ban flavored e-cigarettes next year. The list goes on. The opportunity for adults to choose alternatives to cigarettes is diminishing on a daily basis. We urge you to be active and informed. CASAA (http://casaa.org) is one way to do so and there are many others.
