Time to file a class action suit against the FDA

[BigJimW]

I totally agree with everything that was said. But can we uhmmmm....get a new spokesman? hehe
Just kidding

ok ok. I'll try not to drop another F-Bomb on the senate floor.

I wasn't sure where to put this and doing another search did not yield a thread... but interesting anyways:

Are Electronic Cigarettes Harmful To Your Health? : Class Action Blog

Attorney's getting ready for whatever they can AND using some interesting scare tactics in their blog to do so. The comments are fabulous and a name or two appear to be familiar.

Could easily be done if enough people band together.

Think about the hipocracay of it all. Ban an obvious safer way of life and keep the killer on the loose. I think it's about time the American people had a say in it all, and not let a bunch of sell outs in Washington do it for us.

Ecigs are a threat to the funding of Washington through massive tobacco taxation. They are trying to eliminate that threat.
They don't WANT us to quit smoking. They're counting on the recently passed laws to increase tobacco usage because people are going to smoke more due to the decreased nicotine content in analogs.

It's all about the money, and how much they can get away with taking from us.

Exactly. When you stop and think about it, WHY is the FDA supposedly banning e-cigs? Because they're "unknown"? Yet, they allow a product that is KNOWN (to be a killer) to be continued to be marketed. It flies in the face and defies all levels of human logic there is.

But when there are dollar signs in the eyes, all logic seems to go out the window. Like I said in my video, maybe we should get some of our money back.

I truely think the smart thing for suppliers to do is figure find out which congressmen and powerfull businessmen smoke cigarettes, then send them a free e-cig to try out. This way we will get as many powerfull people on our side as possible.

You rock Jim!!!

Not just USA, other countries such has China stand to loose millions in tobacco tax revenues if e-cigs take off. Better hold on tight.

Already happened. Some senator and Obama himself were both given an ecig in an attempt to quit smoking.

And, Obama's still sneaking off to the golf course every weekend for smoke breaks.

Unfortunately you would get absolutely killed in the court room. If you could find a lawyer to represent the suit the first thing the opposition (FDA) lawyers are going to ask is WHERE IS THE PROF. You would need scientific peer-reviewed studies to back up your claims. As far as I know they don't exist.

Blowing smoke into a napkin isn't going to cut it.

Don't take this the wrong way. I'm on your side. Just trying to point out the reality of the situation. Studies are needed. Both short term and long term. The few small studies that have been done are not likely enough to stand up in a court of law.

I can understand your anger but at the moment it may be a bit misplaced.

I'm fully aware of the uphill battle to it all. But when you think about it for a second, wars are not won by people saying "Well, the enemy is just too overpowering, lets not try". No, wars are won by people like General Patton who once said

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor bastard die for his country"

In the end, this is a war. And this soldier is making a point to make his mark on the goal. In which ever way I can.

God, I love trolling the Government.
