Fda crackdown looms

[LaceyUnderall]

None of us know the real truth on that one. We can only hope that we are ready to go no matter what happens. Even if nothing happens, we will continue pushing the message.

I did notice that reuters.com just picked up on the ECA press release.

I am told by credible sources that tomorrow is the day that the FDA will issue a statement. Not sure what that will entail, but I can't imagine it will work in our favor.

Stay tuned though, we've got some technology waiting in the wings that will keep y'all vaping away, regarding of a ban on e-cigs in their current form.

I think the FDA may re-think their stance, all the negative publicity is the last thing the Obama administration will want.

Thanks, LaceyUnderall .. It's very encouraging to see Reuters pick up that ECA press release

THAT may be the best thing in our corner right now.

I have heard ALOT of chatter about clinicals taking MILLIONS of dollars and MANY MANY years....

I think, based on the studies my company is working on, this is entirely untrue. My company has been working on several studies and NONE of them look like they are going to take MANY years or MILLIONS of dollars. Pulmonary studies, pediatric studies on the second hand effects of smoke as compared to vapor on children, and vapor toxicology tests DO NOT cost millions of dollars. Sorry they just don't.

There are many labs across the country willing to do testing for VERY small fees or EVEN FREE, just in order to be a part of this whole thing!

I think everyone needs to relax and see what actually pans out...there's likely alot of MIS-information being tossed around...maybe some of it from big pharm and big tobacco.

Counterintuitive. The word of the day.

Let's fund healthcare for children by taxing cigarettes. Does that mean if I quit smoking I should feel guilty about all the kids who don't get proper care?

Wouldn't it make more sense to tax something else like.. milk?

More kids born needing more care would drink more milk, makes sense to me.
