My Prediction on FDA Ruling

Alright...a blog is "me" so I wanted to get it published before it actually happens.

1. The FDA will meet with suppliers regarding the efficacy of the e-cigarette.
2. The suppliers that *show up* will be instructed to request manufacturers to start supplying documents of merchantability.
3. The suppliers that *show up* will be granted temporary permission to distribute product provided evidence is presented that the suppliers of said product are going through the proper channels to certify the product. This temporary license will be for 5 years.
4. Some suppliers will go to the underground, keeping prices lower than the legitimate suppliers to keep their customer base. The good suppliers will start the studies, evaluations, and filing proceedings. They will also be granted temporary licenses to produce for the next 4 years.
5. The documentation provided by suppliers will be reviewed by the FDA within the next 3 years. A decision will be made. The decision will be that the FDA will approve the manufacturing of the product for sale in the USA.
6. The suppliers that worked with the government will be permitted to continue distribution. The ones who did not, will be phased out by market economics and brand poisoning.

In the end, we will pay slightly higher prices (10% more, adjust for inflation due to economic stability) but we will not be extremely effected by the entire situation. We will have some pain points for the next year...until this agreement is reached.
