FDA Flavor Ban, Closed Pod Systems & Big Tobacco: The Unholy Trinity


Courtesy of and By vapebeat | May 11 2018

Something’s afoot in the vape market, and I really don’t like the way it looks… I think the FDA flavor ban is just the tip of the iceberg. And it all looks like good news for big tobacco – and that sucks!

There is a dark, malevolent presence hanging of the vape market right now.

I call it the Unholy Trinity.

And it’s end goal is the complete destruction of what we now have.

Grab your tinfoil hat, we’re about to get very left field.

I’ve been watching recent developments very closely.

The FDA is poised to ban flavored E Juice.

Big tobacco is making a lot of moves towards “vaping” products.

And JUUL is constantly in the headlines.

This unholy trinity of events that are now taking place indicates to me that plans are afoot to systematically destroy the vape market from the inside out.

And it all starts with flavored E Juice. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I know, I know – this all sounds very “Infowars”… but stay with me.

FDA Plan To Kill Vaping
This is essentially what I think is going on behind closed doors right now.

  • The FDA, in cahoots with Big Pharma and Big Tobacco, is attempting to systematically rip apart the independent vaping market.
  • First, it came after the hardware (deeming regulations), now it’s coming after flavoured E Juice.
  • If all goes to plan, all we’ll have left is tobacco and menthol – just like cigarettes.
And guess who’s limbering up to enter the vaping space? Yep: pretty much every major tobacco company.

They know they can’t compete with current brands, so rather than do this they’re effectively taking these brands out.

And they’re doing it through their stooges in Washington and the FDA.

Think I’m crazy? Just look at what Monsanto has managed to achieve by doing this very thing during the past 1o years.

The Rise of Closed, Pod Based Vaping Devices
We now live in a world where pod system vapes like the JUUL are immensely popular.

These pods are closed systems.

You have to buy the pods from the device’s maker.

These closed systems are used because they’re immensely profitable.

It keeps consumers in your ecosystem.

Freedom of choice is limited by the supplier, and the price is what the supplier wants it to be.

And I wonder who’d really dig this kind of business model?

Yep, again: Big Tobacco.

The Grand Plan
This is what I think Big Tobacco wants to happen:

  • Destroy independent E Juice brands (flavor ban)
  • Remove competition from the marketplace (expensive hardware testing processes and certification)
  • Basically, Big Tobacco wants to level the playing field.
Once this is done, and the current vape market is gone, Big Tobacco can move into the market, spend billions advertising, cos you know it will be legalised then, and take over.

Big Tobacco 2.0 – Could It Actually Happen?
A lot of this isn’t official or 100% true, granted.

Most of it is me joining up the dots in a bid to discover a bigger, overarching theme.

I just can’t get this idea out of my head though.

Everything points towards a coup – a coup sponsored by Big Tobacco and instigated by its buddies at the FDA.

And make no mistake: Big Tobacco has the money and resources to PROVE that its vaping products are safe (something ALL vape brands have to do by 2022).

It will also use this money to ensure that advertising regulations are removed and this, along with the removal of competition, will allow Big Tobacco’s vape products to dominate.

And you’ll only be able to get tobacco and menthol flavor vape juice as well – just like the good ‘ol days!

The writing’s on the wall guys.

If you want to keep vaping independent and away from Big Tobacco, you have to act now.
