    Nicorette ads: Don't vape - quit for good (Jul 2014)

    I am actually thrilled at this ad appearing! It's the first explicit admission (that I know of) by BP that ecigs are threatening their bottom line. And as was said earlier, it gets the word "vape" out to many who might not see it otherwise. I believe in the U.S. that the FDA has approved NRT...

    I'm battling some ANTZ from Cali with edits to the wikipedia page on e-cigs

    I don't understand how wikipedia can be/is edited*, but I applaud your efforts and hope you won't give up! (Any way of finding out more about who's doing this?) *After reading the entry on ecigs last year, I gave up trusting them for anything.

    Why is there so many anti vaping articles?

    Okay, I have to ask because this whole thing makes no sense to me. Aren't the bacteria on the mouthpiece of my ecig *my* bacteria? Whose else could it be?** So if it's my bacteria, from my mouth, by what physiological mechanism does my bacteria cause me to become more susceptible to...

    FDA FDA spends $270 million on studies to promote proposed deeming reg instead of researching e-cigs health impact on smokers who switched to vaping

    My understanding is that FDA CTP is funded primarily (if not exclusively) by user fees paid by tobacco companies when they submit product applications. (Then of course there are the fees paid by, oh, for instance, BP to other offices within the agency...) I wouldn't be at all surprised...

    H.R. 5010 "To provide greater clarity in the regulation of electronic nicotine delivery systems, including electronic cigarettes..."

    Well finally. The full text of HR5010 has been posted: https://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/5010/text I hope Bill G. is correct and this bill has little hope of advancing. It's worth a read, though, to see the current ANTZ thinking on legislative strategy. Also helpful if...

    If an email, I'd say including the media etc. in the TO: line might be more effective than cc'ing them. Splitting hairs, maybe, but maybe not. (A slightly offtopic note from Agent Archives: Back in my day, using "copy to:" was considered equally correct, and more formal than "cc:" in written...

    FDA Regulation, Big Tobacco, and Pending Bond Defaults

    If my understanding is correct (and I believe it is) that the MSA is a contract, not a piece of legislation, the thinking of those quoted in this article are wrong on two counts: On a general level, legislation, while it can't be "rewritten," can be amended by majority vote. A contract...

    Incredible. There's a lie in every sentence on that page (w/ possible exception of last paragraph linking to FDA). And now they're *mailing* hard copy to anyone and everyone? They are truly desperate, aren't they? Already been there, read every page. Am mostly recovered; can't say the same...

    FDA From the Good Doctor: Predicting the Black Market in E-Cigarettes

    Exactly. In fact, it doesn't even require a ban. I submit that all the ANTZ rhetoric being shouted in the media has done more for promoting ecig use to youth than all the (hypothetically kid-targeted) industry advertising could ever hope to achieve.
