A question from a non-US:
does this Senator/Committee has the power to stop the FDA regulation, or only to ask question?
Sen. Ron Johnson DEMANDS Answers From The FDA Regarding E-Cig Regulations
From what I Understand:
In and of itself, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee does not have the Specific Power to stop a Regulation that the FDA has issued.
What it can do is do Investigations and Conduct Hearing as to whether or not the FDA has Overstep its Regulatory Authority given to it via a Law passed by Congress.
If the Committee finds that the FDA has Overstepped its Regulatory Authority, Congress can Act against the FDA by passing a Law to Overrule the FDA's Decision, Restrict the FDA Jurisdiction over something, or can Threaten/Force the FDA to change a Decision by Restricting the FDA's Funding thru Appropriation.
Thanks zoiDmen!
So he doesn't seem to be completely powerless. I don't know how many US-polititions are pro-vaping. Maybe not a bad idea to support him? Or listen to him. According to his twitter page he will give an interview this evening. Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) | Twitter

I think it's important to stop these FDA-regulation! For many politicians and "health-experts" outside US the FDA is the authority. "But the FDA says..." is a killer argument, even in europe.
Many other countries simple copy/paste the FDA rules. No discussion, no thinking necessary, because it's from the FDA.
So you not only fight for the US-vapers, you fight for the vapers in many other countries, too!
