Imagine the publicity.

I believe it.....vaping is going to have them all going absolutely crazy with meetings and writing reports. It will be the biggest health issue on any agenda and it's certainly not something they are simply going to ban.

They have to do it immediately. The FDA regulation will prevent them from developing any new products. I don't know if that would include acquiring products that are already developed and the companies that produce them. BT would be very smart to acquire Ruyan right away since it already has studies in place. Phillip Morris has that new, huge research center in VA. We would be naive to believe they are not studying electronic cigarettes there.

Especially considering PM had the idea first... 20 years ago. The technology just wasn't there.

Exactly. I wonder how much China "borrowed" from those original ideas.

Air is inhaled through replaceable cartridges of varying nicotine grades made from bell peppers that each cost $3.50.

Veggie carts anyone?

It doesn't matter if five million people have been puffing on them for a year and every single one of them are proven healthier today and every single one of them gave up cigarettes immediately upon starting with the e-cig, the FDA surely can and will still ban them if they so desire.

I concur with Gabby--This move to send Obama an E-cig surely is bad news for all of us. I would highly doubt that the Secret Service is going to let Obama anywhere near the cartridges without having them sent to a lab and that is highly unlikey. This is as bad as the "Clown" with the "Obama billboard" and will surley piss off the the Heads of the FDA. So there is nothing "good" that can come out of this stupid marketing move.---Sun

While I hope "good press" continues, don't lose sight of the fact that Nicorette gum is an FDA-approved NRT treatment and is made in America, with strict regulations on content and safety, etc. Where was your e-cig made? What regulations did it follow? Who approved it for sale and marketing?

Back to earth with the turkeys and their crushed e-cigs.
