I like the way you think. Let's hope the legislators think the same way.... What I also gathered from that article is that large chain stores might be a little hesitant right now but they are very interested at the same time. They are taking it slowly and giving time for the market to develop for them. Kind of like a company I know.

Beckwith called FDA’s position a responsible one to take. “A lot of questions remain, though. For instance, are they going to be taxed like cigarettes? Are they going to require warning labels like cigarettes? There is a lot of uncertainty, things we just don’t know yet,” he said.

Finding Traction
Duxbury, Mass.-based Verc Enterprises, which operates 21 stores in the Boston market, rolled electronic tobacco units into its top 10 stores in cigarette sales in late May. Category manager Ed Oliveira said he and his colleagues have been watching this burgeoning product segment closely for the previous 6-8 months.

“Until this point we really haven’t seen traction,” he said. “We’ve done a lot of site visits in the area versus our competitors. The only major competitor we’ve found who actually carries anything is 7-Eleven. We did a lot of legwork in that regard and we remain cautiously optimistic about what this type of product can do for us.”
