    FDA Re. Potential Flavor Ban

    Oh how I long for the days past when I too enjoyed the naivete exhibited by several posters in this thread! Life was so simple then... :sigh:

    Study of third hand nicotine from e-cigarette

    Random (but slightly related) thought: It's a fact that exhaled breath from every human contains formaldehyde. Has anyone researched the amount of (exhaled) formaldehyde existing as a residue on surfaces in a room?

    Met Phil Busardo today

    Rumor has it Phil was kissing babies at the opening today. (Or was that 'babes'?) PS: my cat Koko loves Pheel too!

    Perhaps this would have been a more appropriate award for her: http://dryhit.com/

    Study of third hand nicotine from e-cigarette

    Yet another example of someone in authority pretending to understand ecigs while actually knowing very little. :facepalm:

    Why is Senator Burr on our side?

    This is typical of most congressional hearings, of which there are two main types (in my experience): 1. The truly "investigative" hearings that treat hot topics and usually get massive press coverage and most likely full and complete attendance by membership (e.g. the recent VA hearings), and...

    I guess she won first place for propaganda. Hopefully someone else won for methodology!

    Study of third hand nicotine from e-cigarette

    Here's the announcement, straight from the horse's (NIH) mouth: nih.gov/news/health/may2014/nida-16.htm (The phys dot org appears to be a straight cut and paste, but the NIH one has pictures! :laugh:) I find this curious at best: This is text direct from an NIH source, so I find this...

    FDA Post-hearing reactions?

    Bear in mind that because of post-9/11 security measures in place for congressional mail, physical letters to members of Congress can take up to 4 weeks to be delivered. Letters definitely have their place, just don't expect immediate feedback.

    2:45 today - FDA & CDC on e-cigs - C-SPAN Live Stream!

    Correct. FDA reports to HHS, which reports to the President. However, Congress can exert control over an executive branch agency in terms of passing enabling legislation (as in, the FSPTCA amended FDA's enabling act to give them control over tobacco products and creating the FDA Center for...

    Why is Senator Burr on our side?

    This is the boilerplate "interim reply" most, if not all, congressional offices send out. It's probably automated and has never enjoyed human input after the original programmer signed off. Can't tell you how many of these I've received. After sending dozens (good grief, maybe hundreds) of...

    I'm amazed...join CASAA

    Yep. Some tasks are a joy to perform! :laugh:

    What I did today, and maybe suggestions might help for next time...

    IMO this concept is being largely ignored as yet: looking at the issue from the point of view of small-business economics. It's something I think has been vastly underappreciated by the FDA* (or perhaps they're hoping no one will notice?) Maybe pointing out to vendors that they need to be...

    A new benefit, and vapers in the wild

    Don't just believe, take it from me, ECF does offer business cards! I keep a supply in the house and in my purse and in the car and will hand one out with just the slightest provocation. I also provide them to my local B&Ms so they can hand them out. (Same goes for CASAA business cards.)

    Done. Why aren't more people participating? C'MON PEOPLE!!! Off yer butts and start tweeting!

    CDC TV Ad - A $2,500 Dirty Trick?

    I view ECF as the Pre-Action Briefing Room, the place to exchange ideas and information and discuss tactics. Then it's on to the Action, to educate, instigate, to write letters and emails, to make phone calls, to visit vendors, attend hearings, meet w/ legislators, etc. etc. Both are necessary...

    FDA Would you still buy your favorite vape stuff if BT acquired those manufacturers?

    BT is an industry; corporations exist to make profit, and their methods (IMO, as always) are no more or less dishonest or unethical than the pharmaceutical, oil, food processing, etc. industries. (And at this point, I'd say they stand heads above the public health and tobacco control industries...
