You know, we need to share knowledge through this forum, but this entire thread is a sterling argument in favor of giving the
FDA control of what is obviously a drug product that causes severe reactions in some who use it. It gives me no pleasure to conclude that.
As BigJimW pointed out in another thread, the "side effects" listed by the
FDA in its legal appeal were taken in perfect order from this forum's Health threads. That's not an accident. We have given them the ammunition to kill us with. And they'll use it. Where else is there a collection of complaints from large numbers of e-smokers?
ECF is the source of the
FDA's negative information.
I assume everyone realizes that any reaction as serious as that of the poster -- projectile vomiting??? - would give pause to any regulatory body considering a product. We are handing them all they need to ban e-smoking.
And the worst posts are from those who fear "nicotine overdose". Please read the Health New Zealand reports in their entirety to realize how LITTLE nicotine a user inhales with each puff of 16mg liquid. Roughly 1/10th that in an inhalation of a regular cigarette. A person would need to suck 30 e-cigs at once to overdose.
Most negative reactions are the body screaming for the nicotine it once got from cigarette smoking. But that won't matter once the
FDA reads that e-smoking causes projectile vomiting, etc. The agency "must" act to protect consumers for the public good (sarcasm).
