    Tobacco Act Crafted to Protect Tobacco Sales ???

    I wouldn't go so far as to call the Tobacco Act "good news", but it is the reason that it is a good thing that the FDA can only regulate products like e-cigarettes that contain nicotine derived from tobacco and do not make health claims in their marketing as tobacco products (unless approved by...

    New Vansickel/Weaver/Eissenberg study on e-cigarettes

    It's a way to objectively measure "addictiveness": the more money it takes for a subject to choose money over taking 10 puffs, the more addicted they are assumed to be. It took significantly more money to convince someone to give up 10 puffs from their "own brand" than to sacrifice 10 puffs from...

    Wisconsin Senator proposes bill to EXCLUDE e-cigarettes from indoor smoking ban!

    Was the pun intentional? #ecigspreventforestfires

    Judge dismisses Thompson Hine lawsuit against Smoking Everywhere

    CASAA doesn't endorse or promote any particular brands or products so it might not be a good idea to directly tie sales of a product to a non-profit organization. However, vendors and manufacturers can certainly follow the lead of some Tobacco companies that have made significant investments...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    The saddest part to me is that there is no outcry from the greater scientific community about this study (that gleefully pronounces itself the first to find a measurable physiologic effect measurable in the parts per billion) because they must admit that this is in fact, "what passes for...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    Buried underneath the ignorant blather in the Abstract, this study is yet another confirmation that electronic cigarettes do not produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and have a smaller reduction in exhaled FeNo than asthma patients undergoing aerobic exercise: Effects of aerobic...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    How are we supposed to take the author of this study seriously as an authority on electronic cigarettes who does not even understand the difference between a healthy smoker and a healthy non smoker or between a filter and an atomizer...and then expects us to believe that a decrease in exhaled...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    Dr E., I have to respectfully disagree with this assessment. Although puffing on an unlit cigarette may control for the contrictive effect of inhaling through a cigarette filter, the cartridge of the e-cigarette is the "filter" portion of an e-cigarette so this does not provide any more...

    UCSF bans e-cigarette use where smoking is banned

    When it is the result of intentional misinformation, its not even really ignorance...it's more accurately called a lie.

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    Quite true, which is why I referred to "Untouchable Mafia/FBI" rather than any particular police department--during prohibition we had mob bosses trading jobs with FBI agents and we have similar things happening today with incidents like the recent "Fast & Furious" fiasco. While you're...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    That was only true until prohibition established organized crime that was able to pay off corrupt police officials for "protection" in a very similar way that gigantic pHarma now pays enormous "regulation fees" to the FDA to be protected from small market competition. Big pHarma/FDA are the new...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    I apologize for flying way off topic, but it is notions like these that you need to question when re-evaluating the way you vote: I'm not suggesting switching or abandoning existing affiliations or political parties, but even the staunchest Libertarians aren't so naive as to think that just...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    I personally suspect that a candidate such as one who appeals to the Libertarian and Independents among many registered Democrats dissatisfied with the incumbent (and Republicans) winning the GOP nomination rather than spoiling the election for him as a third party candidate could be...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    That's the problem, sadly. It would be the very definition of insanity to continue voting "as you always have" and expect government to do anything but grow more wicked and corrupt and systematically encouraging proven dangerous and ineffective cessation methods to increase sales of treatments...

    Reply From The FDA

    It's a bit off topic, but I *really* want to find a lawyer with a good background in the ADAA and the courage to step up to the big dogs to start challenging that sort of employment discrimination against people with a perceived disability (by urine test) that may be treated by nicotine. The...

    Reply From The FDA

    So very true. +1 Their problem is that they are so "against smoking" that they want to be against this scary newfangled way for people to stop smoking by doing something that replaces the act of smoking while avoiding lighting tobacco on fire and inhaling any actual smoke because, gasp, "It...

    Cattaraugus County, NY Health Department proposes e-cig indoor use ban

    What possible contaminant could be deadly in the small quantities of liquid used in vaporizers? Even an extremely heavy vaper uses less than a few teaspoons of e-liquid per day, even if the liquid was contaminated it would be nearly impossible to get a lethal dose. I understand a bit of...

    New initiative would make possession of tobacco or nicotine a Class C felony in Washington

    Don't take this as an excuse to not speak out against this wannabe petition. Crafty politicians pick up bills like this that have no real chance of passing so they can claim they "tried" to help people quit smoking (by charging nicotine addicts with felonies?! Prison is not a safe OR effective...

    New initiative would make possession of tobacco or nicotine a Class C felony in Washington

    IMO, this is a "scare tactic". Stupid ANTZ think they can scare us by pretending to be serious enough to criminalize the posession of anything containing nicotine...which not only would include tobacco, a staple of the US economy since Jamestown, but this ridiculous petition would actually make...
