    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    AKchally, when I was a hippie I bathed daily, my way, in whatever sparkling natural body of water I could slide my then-lovely nekkid little body into. Along with my all-natural 100% bio-degradable peppermint soap. I hereby retroactively deem every US brook, stream, river, pond, lake and both...

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    I'm totally creeped out by the idea of the FDA taking measurements on their notion of my "happiness". Maybe it's just me but it sounds Orwellian. They seem to be having difficulty grasping the several simple and very tangible variables related to ecigs and my health - I really don't want...

    FDA CASAA's Comment to the FDA Deeming Reg's

    It's tremendous. CASAA is terrific and I'm endlessly grateful for them. It's hard to think that so much intelligent effort, straightforward and thorough argument and simple truth might not receive a fair hearing. I very much wish that it would carry the weight in those deliberations that it...

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    I wrote "That's for another venue. If he's free to advance his political opinion at length, then I must be too, to the detriment of the focus and function of this forum. So we're required to not do that. Good. " My point is that neither 'he', nor me, nor us nor they ought to be free to do so...

    FDA So how would you categorize / summarize your FDA comments?

    Mine was long, an attachment. I began it with these bullet points; the rest was the personal story, in which I tried to show how those issues have personal and specific impact on consumers: "I’m writing this comment as a concerned and informed consumer, a mother of three, a mental health...

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    The first point is untrue - this forum has always had excellent and active moderation, and that's why it's remained a user friendly locale for persons from a broad spectrum and with very different views on many things. It shouldn't become anyone's platform - not mine and not yours - for airing...

    Vaping in Movies/Television

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    I know why. But to get into it in here invites tangential conversations that are both infuriating and futile. It's odious, noxious and incessant and has deeply irritated a LOT of people. They've left this part of the forum, or don't bother to speak up. This allows that contingent to somewhat...

    Donate to Dr Farsalinos' new study

    Yeah, good answer, but there are Antz, and their endless PR and lobbying and all, and there's the FDA and its current project, and it's ability/willingness to actually rule on this one. The Antz have wanted cigarettes banned forever, and that gets nowhere with the FDA, though they've pushed...

    There, there, lasttango. I love baby aspirin. My Mom used to have to hide it; I was like, 12. Numnumnumnunum. Just don't tell anyone, I have a rep to maintain.

    Donate to Dr Farsalinos' new study

    But Kent, you might be able to answer me on this one. Cigarettes contain D&A and all sorts of toxins, and that's permitted by the FDA. So how can they go after lower levels in e-cigs without going after BT on that as as well? I've seen no mention of that from those quarters since 2010. Their...

    The final countdown to August 8th - your FDA comments NEEDED

    Diacetyl and all sorts of things are "approved" and appear in cigarettes at much higher levels than found in e-cigs; they'd have to go after those if they wanted to start banning them in e-cigs, right? I've always thought that that's why we don't really hear so much about that in the...

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    That Dow explicitly states that they do not support the use of PG in e-cigs and will not sell it for that purpose is a fact, not a story - I linked to the page on their website where they say so a few pages back in this thread. Whether they have, or do, or will, or can act on that statement is...
