Correct me if I am wrong but, the FDA has not only deemed
vaping
as a tobacco product but, a new generation of tobacco products.
I am unaware of any distinction that would give
vaping the same status
as as Grandfathered cigarettes. If anything we would be grandfathered
as new tobacco products. Even though the FDA considers us the same
as any other tobacco product there is absolutly nothing saying we should,
could or,will be treated the same.
vaping is potentially even more dangerous.
(not my view point) According to some vaping is going to enslave a whole
new generation along with generations to come to the deadly nicotine
addiction. Should the the courts and Congress discard this simplistic
analysis,yes. Will they,no.
This is why I say the best we can hope for is parity. I am not saying
I am right. I am just pointing out a very real possibility of the outcome
of all this. I hoped I was wrong about my assessment about the final
deeming regs. To my disappointment I was not.
Hope springs eternal though.
