    Oregon AG's using Office to try to ban selling of 'E-cigarette'

    Yes, but the problem is independent of the companies. There is an overall idea that electronic cigarettes may not be imported, sold, or marketed in the United States due to being an unapproved drug requiring regulation by the FDA. The Oregon Attorney General only has jurisdiction in a specific...

    Oregon AG's using Office to try to ban selling of 'E-cigarette'

    I'm pretty sure that the AG's office does this: 1) Identify problem company (in this case, Smoking Everywhere and nJoy, the two most high profile store based electronic cigarette companies) 2) Contact problem company to inform them of problem and avenues of resolution 3) Receive reply (or lack...

    Bad Picture, but fairly accurate article

    I agree. All I'm saying is that the whole reason they passed this law is because they see no difference between vapor and second hand smoke. Prove that difference, and you win. Whine about having to go outside in the yucky smoke, and you've got nothing.

    Bad Picture, but fairly accurate article

    Um, not to be a negative Nancy, but isn't the whole premise of the law that they are harmful to those around you? Therefore, saying that it's harmful to you to take your harmful habit to a harmful environment doesn't completely follow. As far as they're concerned, there's no difference between...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    The "intended use" goes more toward behavior than substances, as far as I understand it. The intended use of a pipe is to smoke. It doesn't really matter what you're smoking in it, it's for smoking. Period. If the substance you're using is illegal, there are laws to cover that. What is the...

    Is that served exclusively at the Whitehouse, or can I get that locally?

    Undercover camera at SE reveal...

    ... I like all of those things (well, never actually tried liver, but I imagine I would probably like it, since I like hot dogs and other organ-meat derived products).

    Oregon Sues Smoking Everywhere

    I did not specifically reference NJOY... if you've ever read anything I've posted, you should know what I'm talking about. I won't beat a dead horse here. But yes, I think a temporary market removal was the best course of action in *this* situation.

    Oregon Sues Smoking Everywhere

    Well actually, they're fighting for their right to continue selling the uninformed an overpriced, untested, unapproved, unregulated product through abrasive marketing tactics and unsubstantiated claims. The people who are willing to play ball and keep this thing on the market while getting...

    Oregon Sues Smoking Everywhere

    SE just can't help themselves can they? *sigh* Here's a blog containing the text of the press release: http://blogs.wweek.com/news/2009/08/18/attorney-general-john-kroger-continues-war-against-electronic-cigarettes/ I can't find anything about the legal age to purchase NRTs in Oregon. Is there...

    I am being interviewed by a local TV station

    Yeah, just speak from your own knowledge and experience, and if you reference anything that you aren't technically qualified to discuss (like FDA report, TSNAs, what-have-you) just prelude it with "as far as i know" or "as i understand it". You'll do fine.

    Paypal

    On what grounds? Paypal is a privately owned business who can choose to do business with whomever they would like (excluding characteristics protected by law). Since the suppliers are provided what is perceived as an illegal product, Paypal has every right to refuse business.
