Got an email from VTA. They just filed suit in NY State regarding the flavor ban. I haven't read the complaint but I'm glad to see them stepping up and getting our side of things on the legal record.
VTA Files Lawsuit Against New York Department Of Health And Public Health And Health Planning Council To Stop Ill-considered Flavor Ban
There's a link to the court filing in the page.
Washington, D.C., September 25, 2019—The Vapor Technology Association (VTA), the industry’s national trade association, Benevolent e-Liquids, Inc., a New York manufacturer, and Perfection Vapes, Inc., a New York retailer, filed a lawsuit seeking declaratory judgment, a temporary restraining order, and a preliminary and permanent injunction in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for Albany County against the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and Public Health and Health Planning Council (PHHPC) to nullify the ban in New York State of flavored vapor products and to prevent it from being enforced
New York Moves to Ban Flavored E-Cigarettes by Emergency Order
Under the plan outlined by Mr. Cuomo on Sunday, the state’s Public Health and Health Planning Council, a little-known regulatory body, would be convened by the health commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker. The council would then issue an emergency regulation to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, rules that would take effect immediately.
JUUL is being sued by the fired senior vice president for global finances for not recalling tainted JUUL cartridges according to the lawsuit filed. At least that is the claim of the lawsuit. Not sure of all the facts or details at this point, but here is the article with the actual court filing included. There is no mention of what the contamination was in the filing.
Lawsuit: Juul sold tainted e-liquids to users “drunk and vaping like mo-fo’s”
I know that there are threads covering bans in individual states, but I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread which covers all state bans.
So far, I know of the temporary, but complete ban, in Massachusetts, and a flavor ban announced in Michigan, Washington state, and Rhode Island. The New York ban is not in effect yet, but will be on October 4, I believe. Not sure about the other three states.
If there are more states which I'm not aware of, please list them.

Hi,
I am cosidering buying some liquid from health cabin because my liquid is pretty expensive from the new zealand vendor (not mentioning any names). But health cabin don't have any coils for my aspire pockex which so far has served me well. I am incurring quite a high cost for coils too. Then I bought 4 packs from aliexpress and they were dead. So I was wondering if anyone can recommend gear that is available from health cabin, say a starter kit and spare parts, please, for the sake of convenience. I'm also wondering if anybody knows how fast a health cabin eparcel takes to get to Sydney?
Thanks for you help

Opinion | The Ridiculous Campaign Against Vaping
Never before has a boon to public health been met with such hysteria and ingratitude.
Vaping is almost all upside in comparison with traditional smoking, a wanton destroyer of health and lives, and yet the nation is in the grips of a panic about e-cigarettes.
New York State Flavor Ban PAUSED
I just got an email from Web MD (I get them on various topics almost daily) dealing with smoking cessation. While the main article didn't mention e-cigarettes, there was a link to another article at the bottom of the page which did:

Seemed fairly reasonable to me.
