    The Slantz is at it again

    Oh I agree! I'm seeing similar desperation across the board. Several leading ANTZ in the UK came out in The Guardian a few days ago complaining how they were being "abused" and "stalked" by vaping trolls who represent a "bizarre cult" of ecig users (and of course we're all industry shills...) I...

    FDA Comments listing.

    Terrific job, Kent C, thank you! I've been thinking since I first started reading the deemings, about these "requests for comments," that they don't really seem to know much about what they're proposing to regulate, do they? Seeing the RFCs separated out from the rest of their (meandering)...

    The Slantz is at it again

    He's posted an article on his blog about "the effects of e-cigarette use on exhaled nitric acid." (Don't bother googling nitric acid yet. Read on.) Both Dr. Farsalinos and Tom Pruen (ECITA blog) have already posted rebuttals. Effects of e-cigarette use on exhaled nitric oxide More of the same...

    There's more similarity between ANTZ and islamic jihad than you might think

    I wish I could think the title of this thread was way way off, but sadly it likely isn't. I wonder how many ANTZ, in their heart of hearts, would applaud on seeing that picture. That makes me very sad, and sick.

    The US: High school kids smoking much less, using e-cigs much more, but e-cigs are still bad!

    ...and because some people *cough* Frieden *cough* aren't capable of admitting they were wrong?

    Anybody else run into his issue?

    I like to support my local B&Ms and go there as much for the conversation as for the products. Since I do purchase from them occasionally, I don't feel guilty at all just hanging out some of the time. Also, tho I too have a goodly supply of eliquid at home, every visit is a chance to taste new...

    Fight for Your Right to #Vape - Daily Action Plan for Thursday, 06.12.14

    If the FDA proposed rule and numerous state and local laws and taxation go forward, hundreds of businesses will go bust, resulting in (my estimate) thousands of jobs lost. However, when you're driven by ideology, as most ANTZ are, or greed, as most legislators are, you don't care about people...

    Bonnie Herzog's new survey finds most convenience stores plan to sell premium vaporizers

    I'm not surprised. Even my little no-name gas station across the street is selling basic eGo-clearo starter kits and eliquid. Though they are off-brand, it's a start.

    FDA Swedish Match submitting 100,000 page MRTP application for General Snus to FDA

    I see myself as a very principled person and pretty much reality-based (well, except for daydreams, of course) so I'll propose "Ideology can make you blind to reality" as an alternative. Just IMO... :)

    FDA Small Business Administration submits comment on FDA proposed rule

    Kent C, I agree. Among many other weaknesses of the proposed rule, I see this as a major problem with it. And the fact that this comes from another federal agency may carry more weight -- sad but true -- w/ the FDA and have a greater impact. We shall see.

    Alright - This Really Bugs Me

    I've also found it useful to subscribe to threads where I'm expecting (or hoping for) feedback to a post of mine. That way, I can easily and quickly see if there's been a new post to any of them, and follow up. Courteously, of course... :)

    FDA Small Business Administration submits comment on FDA proposed rule

    The Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy has submitted a comment to FDA on the deeming regs: Office of Advocacy - Regulatory Comment Letters - 6/11/14- Deeming Tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and...

    Alright - This Really Bugs Me

    "Thanks, everybody" would cover that, I think. Maybe I'm old-fashioned (Courtesy was instilled in me before I could walk, as I recall.) but in my world -- real or internet -- courtesy may never be suspended. Of course, my world is not your world, so... peace. General comment to thread: If I...

    Associated Press: Swedish Match seeks FDA approval as 'modified risk' tobacco product

    1. One hundred thousand pages! All of which have to be read and evaluated by FDA CTP staff. While they are busy reviewing the hundreds (thousands?) of existing Substantial Equivalence and PMT applications for existing tobacco products. While they are busy moving their offices. While they are...
