    FDA June 2014 GAO report on FDA Tobacco Product Regulation

    Seems to me they'd simply move the goalposts and include mom and pops (for instance, those who mix their own eliquid) in the definition of "tobacco manufacturer." Unless, of course, they just go ahead and write the reg so that mom and pops are effectively prohibited from mixing their own...

    FDA June 2014 GAO report on FDA Tobacco Product Regulation

    I came across this yesterday, from the US General Accountability Office (formerly General Accounting Office, aka "the government's watchdog"). It's a fairly long read, but useful in understanding the Center for Tobacco Products and how a huge bureaucracy (FDA) goes about setting up a new...

    The kids like Flavors claim

    I think we need to ban cooking shows on TV, especially those that are oriented to "cooking for the family" (Create Appealing Meals Your Kids Will Love to Eat!). Is this not encouraging kids to like flavors? The danger isn't kids liking ecig flavors, the danger is kids liking flavors. (Maybe...

    My response from Sen Bill Nelson

    I've sent Nelson links to articles, reports, and studies up the wazoo. My messages have centered on many different vaping-related issues. The two times he's replied have been w/ the same canned message. I sent my other senator, Marco Rubio, the same message about the hearing, as he's also on...

    FDA Comments gone missing from Deeming docket summary?

    Apparently the 50,000+ was a glitch; the count has remained in the 30-35k range since my last post. (My personal hypothesis is that that number is low due to CASAA members holding back until the CTA is issued, but I could be wrong.) I do see that as of this morning, over 15,000 comments have...

    My response from Sen Bill Nelson

    I've had the same response from him on two occasions. If there was any doubt in my mind, he made his position on vaping clear at Wednesday's hearing. That was when he lost my vote.

    Congresswoman introducing bill to ban flavors in e-cigs | The Verge

    What she really needs to introduce is a BUBBLE act, requiring all kids to live in a plastic bubble to protect them from the Big Bad World.

    FDA FDA Extends Comment Period to Aug 8 - no reason cited in article

    I suspect many CASAA members are waiting for a CTA before commenting, which may explain the lower-than-expected number?

    The kids like Flavors claim

    I'd like to change that to: --Give tickets to parents who drink any alcohol, anywhere, at any time. Because, you know, secondhand alcohol. I don't know about anyone else here, but I seem to be especially sensitive to people's "alcohol breath." If I'm within several feet of someone who's had a...

    Why Do Liberals Hate Smokeless Cigarettes? - Psychology Today

    This article is from Nov. 2011 so I'm going to cut the author a break and excuse his ignorance, as ecigs weren't as well known then, but really, "smokeless cigarettes"? The only smokeless cigarette is a tobacco cigarette that hasn't been lit yet.

    FDA Urgent Action Alert: Contact US Senate Commerce Committee before Wednesday at 2:30PM

    Thanks for the update. It's such a stupid, inflammatory comment I'll be surprised if anyone objects to it's being edited out. Now I'm wondering how they'll handle it on the archived video... Or maybe Rockefeller's so arrogant (possibly proud of it) he'll let it stand. Stay tuned....

    Teens lusting after ecigs?!!? The ANTZ infection is spreading. It may already be an epidemic. :facepalm:

    FDA Urgent Action Alert: Contact US Senate Commerce Committee before Wednesday at 2:30PM

    I've been out of DC for more years than a lot of you have been alive, so I don't know if this still holds true, but back in the day, members of Congress were able to edit their statements before they appeared in the Congressional Record (the "daily" of all congressional activity). If this is...

    FDA Urgent Action Alert: Contact US Senate Commerce Committee before Wednesday at 2:30PM

    At least we know "Sweet Tooth" won't be holding hearings any time soon on the dangers of sugar, or advertising Pepsi to kids... That's a relief.

    (New Jersey) Fight for Your Right to ‪#‎Vape‬ - Daily Action Plan for Friday, 06.20.14

    Almost done; 4 tweets to go. And I'm SO enjoying tweeting to the Senate 5 (I added @SenatorDurbin to the list and send an occational zinger to @MarkeyMemo as well) about what yummy flavor I'm vaping at the moment! :laugh: :vapor: :laugh: :evil: :laugh:

    Do you sometimes feel like a missionary when you vape around smokers?

    My experience (my own, and w/ others) is that there's a learning curve w/ vaping. Most vapers I know started with cigalikes and then moved on to eGo-like devices. Some have then moved on to mods and APVs. But the cigalike experience seems to be a necessary first step into vaping for many, if not...

    Do you sometimes feel like a missionary when you vape around smokers?

    I think of myself as an advocate, and an educator-on-demand. When I'm out in public, I always carry an ecig, even if I'm not vaping. I hope someone will stop and ask me about it; then I'm happy to spend a few minutes explaining. I wouldn't approach a smoker and open a conversation, so I wouldn't...

    Don't you hate when this happens...

    The Vaper's Prime Directive applies here: Always have a backup. Not just for your batteries. Never assume you can dash over to your B&M and they'll have what you need in stock. Never assume vapemail will arrive in time. Back up your primaries. Back up your backups.

    US Sen. Commerce, Sci. & Transport Cmte Hearings Weds 6/18 2:30p - advertising and marketing

    Excellent background summary and analysis! Actually, the fact?rumor? that there would be a hearing was bruited about several weeks ago. (I may have seen it on twitter, or possibly a blog, but it's too early today for the reliable-memory neurons to be firing. And I can't remember who did the...
