Quitting vs Alternative - Claims

[LaceyUnderall]

In our recent blog post, It’s Not About Quitting, It’s About an Alternative with the Electronic Cigarette, we discuss why the FDA was started, break down the definitions of "new drug" and "medical device", and argue that the electronic cigarette is in fact neither, based on claims.

Today's research session led to several very great links which many of you might be interested regarding the history of the FDA, what they are about, what they are here to do, and some of their policies! Enlightening reading on many levels!

Enjoy!

Lacey, why hasn't the ECA filed a brief to answer ASH's?

As far as the ECA not submitting anything to the court, please note that the suggestion from consumers to take such action has not gone unheard. The ECA board is determining whether action in response to the ASH submission will do more harm than good.

This is a part of the response I made on Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update Post #989
