Good point. I am all for not selling out to the big tobacco companies 100% I have made a point on here be for that I am already mad that a couple of companies have done just that. #1 E-cig's were created to be "healthier" or "safer" and once their product took off they sold out. I.E. Blu to Lorillard. Why does a company like Lorillard deserve the Blu product? Just because they have the money to purchase it and make everyone who had a hand on Blu's money rich? Poppycock I say! But leads to my next point. How long are we going to let big tobacco companies pretty much make the calls all around the world because of the money and power they have. Don't tell me tobacco companies are not paying their way out of going out of business. If we know cigarettes are that bad for you and cause all of this cancer and diseases how is it still around. I know that consumers are king and that they have the choice whether to ingest the crap or not. But most of the smokers are the baby boomers and were mislead about cigarettes. For example the doctor would offer my grandma one as she sat in the office waiting to get checked out. It's hard to kick the habbiy as much as it is teaching and old dog new tricks.
