God taleywhacker I love you! Yes, folks... Outwest (who isn't a supplier) even pointed this out. Many of the packages being stopped have the following jargin: "quit" "health" "cigarette" "lung apparatus".... the list goes on. Suppliers are very aware of your concerns because we have them too! Most of us, if not all are users of the e-cig. We have done extensive research on how to import, transport, mark our packages etc. The form letter that is going around is open to many interpretations and I can definitely see why people would have concern. However, I am yet to receive a letter like this. Why? Because I am marking my package for what it is! Again, we should all be thrilled that customs/FDA is stopping packages that are mis-marked. They are simply doing their job of ensuring that items coming through are what they say they are. |

And as far as FDA regulations... well... I too believe this is up for debate. Now, don't get me wrong. I believe that the e-liquid should be regulated. It promotes safety and consistency. However, I don't know if the FDA has to regulate it like it would the NRT's. This is where it becomes very grey. One reason I keep coming back to the homeopathic route is that while we seek HPUS approval, we can continue to use and sell our e-liquids. With the FDA approval, it is my understanding that we cannot. Also, with FDA approval, the liquid can be sold as a quit smoking method and NOT as a healthier way to smoke. If we go homeopathic, it can be sold as a healthier alternative to smoking but not as a smoking cessation device. I for one, would rather see this as a smoking alternative then as smoking cessation. | |

OHAI GUISE! What's goin' on in this thread? Well, it seems that people are getting the hint, for now...I'll try to avoid getting into it with Lacey (very unnecessarily, I might add) again. BTW, if you want to know what the law REALLY says, let me know...or go check the FDA thread in the legal section. |

Bob is, for the most part, correct. The FDA's main avenue of control, here, will be the liquid (the "drug") that we use in the e-cigs. They can, however, change their definition to include the delivery vehicle since one is technically useless without the other. That's not to say that they WILL do this but they CAN if they want to start breaking out the loopholes. Now, if we can get the LIQUID approved for use (this will literally have to be done on a manufacturer by manufacturer basis) that's a major part of the battle because they would have a hard time switching stances AFTER approval has gone through. EDIT : Also, the NZHD doesn't have MUCH weight, in and of itself. Independent testing, though, holds a TON of water and that's a weapon we have. | |

Thanks for a post of sanity, Terraphon. I've vowed to myself to stay out of these love-affair threads of dreams. Someone else is going to have to post reality checks. I'm becoming ... a reader.
