FDA Takes Enforcement Action on Electronic Smoking Products

[Fedor]

I know of one who just had a box of only a couple kits and a few e-liquids get stopped.

Its very likely if it was sent via DHL, UPS, Fedex, TNT etc....

I doubt that it was by EMS.

If you make them on U.S soil they could just walk in and shut you down, if they say it's illegal, making it here won't make it any more legal than importing them

Yeeeeess, but there are hundreds of thousands of businesses in the US....the FDA doesn't monitor them all - and shouldn't. I can't see them watching a business that manufactures something, say, related to consumer electronics or novelties.

I'm still curious about JC. They registered with the FDA, (so the FDA knows about them) and nobody's shot any rumors out here about them. I know their hasn't been any drama in Johnson Creek (small town, just down the street from me locally, and my husband works in Creek) - so I'm guessing they're still in business.....

What really annoys me is you can just walk into a store (I know in San diego of a few) and buy a BONG or a pipe to smoke weed. So why are they stopping e-cigs?

I can buy a BONG but not a 901? thats really stupid!

True, Wildsky, I could make long list of things that are more questionable than an e-cig.

Once other suppliers start complaining that they are not enforcing the law fairly they will call attention to any american company.

I agree with fenez, if they are banned, then they are banned...imported or domestic it wont matter...If they are illegal and made here, someone is going to jail...sucks a monkeys A$$...

[fenez]

The answer is no ban, that would be the only way suppliers will survive

And in a time where the economy is soooo bad, with thousands of people losing their jobs every day, blah, blah, blah......you'd think our governmente would WELCOME a new business - new revenue streams to tax.

[fenez]

once they figure out how to control and make money from it then they will welcome it

[Tone]

they will start a media smear campaign which will turn the public against PV then they wont even be a fight.
as far as stopping them at the border FDA cant do ..... to oversea manuf the only have power here so JC will get a visit from them I bet
