11. Because the e-cig death toll is zero?

And because they're a regulation nightmare. I don't do nicotine but I DO vape caffeine and, on occasion, certain other substances of a less legal nature. Banning vape pens themselves makes about as much sense as banning pipes and rolling papers. Banning nicotine e-juice won't get you too far, because the high demand means that you'll simply create an instant black market (a path only a brain dead drug warrior would venture down). It's relatively easy to make your own e-liquid, and there are tons of 10 minute videos on YouTube showing you how to do it at home. If you think that banning nicotine e-liquid WON'T result in thousands of black market liquid nicotine labs popping up overnight, you're fooling yourself.
