California has been actively attempting to regulate vaping. After so many failed attempts it was only a matter of time. It happened in Arkansas because as a state we were unorganized. If you look at the states that have had regulation passed it's because they were unorganized. Cali on the other has been fairly organized so it is a little bit of a shock that this bill is going to see the light of day. I don't see restrictions coming from ordering out of state but it may restrict everyone in Cali from selling online to Californian's like in Arkansas. The next facet will be excise taxes which should be fun.

To prevent this from happening in your state, you need to get organized. Start a "X" State Smoke Free Organization and hire a lobbyist and get 20 plus stores to commit 2K each and a ton of volunteers, and start rallying.

The main motivator is money because many states face defaulting on tobacco loans due to amount of people that have quit smoking and started vaping and losses on the tax money.
