The general presumption is no it wouldn't effect ejuice containing no nicotine. The general formula for ejuice is vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, flavor extracts, and liquid nicotine based in PG. Sine all these ingredients are generally available without regulation ( minus nicotine ) I feel that I would be hard to claim that these constitute a tobacco product.

Thank you very much for the distinctions. This bodes well for a non-consumption idea I had somewhat based on the existing technology, though with no intention of including nicotine in the platform. I'll have to see what the local shops plan on doing to get a first-hand feel for potential supplier issues. Again, very much appreciate the shared perspective.
Interesting, sounds like a potential loophole.

The juice makers could just sell the vape juice without any nicotine, which can be added later, by the consumer, or at your favorite shop I'm sure.

When I used to vape, the shopkeepers would sometimes do that, if they were out of a flavor at my nicotine level.
