FDA 'Splain it to me like Im 5yrs old

[Ipster]

So I dont see this on the front page here (may be somewhere)...published June 2016 CASAA's Julie Woessner, Paul Blair from ATR, with host Mike Krause of Independent Institute discuss the FDA's war on vaping here concisely.

(runs 11+mins)

Okay, it's like this:

Say you just got a new toy and you're playing with it on the playground. Suddenly a big bully that you don't know comes up and takes it away from you. He tells you he's taking it because it's too new to be safe, but he'll give it back if you give him all your money. Then after you give him your money and he gives it back he tells you that you have to prove to him that it's safe by tomorrow or he'll take it away again and never give it back. And you'll have to pay him to look at your proof that it is safe. But he may not like your proof, so he may take it away again just because. But he'll still keep your money.

Paul Blair from ATR is honestly one of the best spokesperson, he is very focused, calm, clear and concise when being interviewed and gets the important points of the FDA deeming across for those who do not know or understand what is really happening.

Completely agree. I'd like to see more of him with a wider audience.

When explained like this, these regulations almost sound ridiculous.



Seriously, this may be the best "executive summary" ever written.

I just hope the noobs with ?s find there way here or to CASAA or better yet their reps and Atty gens, and
the FDA and petitions *
