Cigarette companies quickly established their business by giving out free cigarettes.
I don't understand how it more sound of an idea to charge 8 dollars for 40 milligrams of nicotine when I can pick up nicotine for 1.2 cents per milligram, can someone explain to me the logic?
It seems far from risky to enter the market with a price a lot less than 20 cents a milligram.
I could understand if perhaps this was the black market or something, but its not, and even if it were and I was using drugs.. well im sure I could pick up 20 milligrams of amphetamine for a dollar.. 5 cents a milligram.. I dont understand why such a huge premium on the nicotine until the device securely establishes itself in the market.
