Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

[yvilla]

Hmmm... reduced harm tobacco product isn't quite accurate, because it isn't actually a tobacco product. More like a reduced-harm tobacco smoking alternative.

Well, Elaine, we don't know how it will go yet, but it certainly is possible that Judge Leon will agree with SE and Njoy, and rule that the e-cigarette does fall within the FSPTCA's definition of "tobacco product". If that were to happen, then the question becomes how it should be regulated under the FSPTCA, and Bill's suggestion is the one we would need to get behind.

Yeah, let's see if he can fit the ruling in those blurbs when it's time.

Thanks again for the updates Sun.

(2) If Judge Leon finds that the E-cig is a tobacco product, the FDA will be forclosed from banning it buy can regulate the amount of nicotine, flavorings and other aspects of the e-cig's sale.

And we will end up with a watered down, tasteless and pretty much useless version of what we have now.

And don't forget, jacked-up prices and taxed as bad as cigs are now....

He is ready allright !! There is enough e-juice there to supply the "vapeasies", when prohibition takes effect, and it's the good stuff, not bathtub e-juice !!

I still don't see how a ruling on this case is good. The most likely outcome is one of two, neither of them good for us. Banned or FDA regulated in which case good-bye to flavors and hello to nic regulations. Who knows if SE doesn't see a potential profit after the ruling there might not even be an appeal. It cost a lot of money to take this to court.

Brwster--Funding the litigation is not really an issue for SE or NJOY. And only on Appeal, will we get some affimative rulings. It is time to move forward and stop hiding under a rock. Stock up if you can and lets see this show though to, what could be, a resolution that is doable for all concerned. I know ASH has backed way off the e-cig since it's conterpart in the UK gave the e-cig the thumbs up. So it is time to end the mystery of the fate of e-cigs.
