Fda approval!

[TropicalBob]

It appears that GreenCig has become the first electronic cigarette to obtain certification from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

Its cigarette is officially a "nasal inhaler" by FDA definitions. To be one, the device must deliver a drug through nose, mouth or throat. Certainly an e-cigarette takes that route to deliver its nicotine.

GreenCig makes disposable and non-disposable cigarettes and is readying a disposable cigar for sale in the U.S. The company, GreenWorld, is American invested but manufactures in China.

This certification is astounding news and means that, unless the e-cigarette is challenged by a Congressman, it likely will be legal to sell these devices in this country without hearings, demands for clinical trials and proof of efficacy.

You can read the brief certification statement and follow links to definitions at FDA > CDRH > Registration & Listing Database Search

See further thoughts on this on page two of this thread. GreenCig has registered, not been given any kind of FDA approval. Go deep into that FDA date listing and you'll see that no approvals have been given and GreenCig claims exemption from approvals. We shall see.

They can't ship as they are based in Beijing. Both their manufacturing plant and distribution centers are and any large quantity based order with batteries/liquid will get stopped immediately until after the olympics. Smaller/Personal orders get shipped fine, Distributor orders, not so much!

I may be the only skeptic here - but I don't think it is going to be that easy. Lets hope I am wrong...

hmm..so do you think that the orders smokster, pillbox and meltrex make are small enough to ship, cause they seem to be ordering their stuff out of china just fine at the moment or am i wrong? also green-cig could ship their small orders from china if they wanted..no?

Today people have seemed to be quite unsure regarding green cig and who they are but I can reassure people that they are all kosher and legit.
As I have personally been having business telephone conversations with them in the last few days.
Their aim is to try and bring green cig into the UK but mainly in the mainstream of things rather than Internet but there will be a Internet site.
It will be aimed more at the retail market. Shops/ stores/ businesses etc.
More like as you would see the top brands websites where you only see janty. N joy. Sedansa etc only for sale on their own sites not mixed up with suppliers selling all sorts . Whether that will change I don't know. As I think they want to have a more prestige look.
They are a US invested company with a manufacturing plant in China.


So this is all good for us as for spreading the word into the mainstream. I feel this must go this way as it is at present to Internet-based which that is all right but it needs to get out there for people to accept and get used to because at the moment it's only people like ourselves that showing a man on the street what we have.
