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

**oldlady** · 11-23-2009, 04:50 AM

I was checking this thread again before going to bed. I sure hope our friend Jules is okay.

If the FDA must do its job, it must. I just think it would be shame to carry out its business in a way that would diminish any of the current incentives for people to switch to vaping--i.e., ease of use, cost, flavors, etc.

Today, I did sooooo much research on this stuff, it is amazing. Tons of doctors and scientists are clearly on our side!

I will include us all in my prayers.

I truly agree oldlady.

I agree Nicotine can be harmful but some of us forget, if one takes a whole bottle of asprin that would be lethal, drink most any household cleaning product and great harm if not death would result.

If it happened to vapers who use constantly.... Like a totally awesome new flavor or something..... you see where I am going. I will cut down my activism and stop my ranting. I hope Jules is ok.

Life is a gamble, VaporHead, there are no guarantees. If you are concerned about being poisoned, don't vape.

It wasn't myself I was worried about.. . It was the vaping masses I have concern for.
I must be truly demented if I am the only one that thought of this scenario.

We all must be truly demented! After all, didn't we all smoke cigarettes?

It is amazing once you vape you realize how gross smoking was.

Another anti e-cig article.

Could we finally be getting some support from anti-smokers?

Maybe I'm just obtuse, but I don't see any "support" in this at all, unless we can prove that e-cigs contain no trace of nicotine or harmful elements.

However, one sentence does strike me: "Tobacco smoke emanating from automobiles affects passers-by without warning and consideration as to their age or health status." Okay, so what about the exhaust emanating from those automobiles? Far more toxic to the environment than the sum total of any tobacco smoke emitted in any given city. Is this burg then prepared to ban all petroleum-fueled conveyances?

Update: Oops, my bad -- I hadn't read down to the part where he names "smokeless cigarettes!" Hmm, nice. :-)
