    It could be that he took the expression, "Grow a pair," too literally.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Well, FWIW here's mine: Please order the FDA to withdraw its "deeming" regulation whereby this agency intends to regulate electronic cigarettes as if they were conventional cigarettes. The practical effect of the deeming regulation will be to virtually destroy the entire market, leaving only a...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Different but related question: If this lawsuit and the few others like it fail, do you think the FDA will approve any bottled e-liquid?

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    It's in the complaints, but the plaintiffs didn't seem to attach any importance to it because it's not addressed in the briefs. I don't see the judge adjudicating an issue that hasn't been briefed, do you?

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    1. The Nicopure lawsuit was consolidated with one brought by the Right to Be Smoke Free Coalition, which I believe consists of about a dozen groups representing various segments of the industry. But their brief must not have make much of an impression on me because I can't remember what, if...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I think Nicopure missed a good argument. FDA says tanks are tobacco products because they're intended for use with liquid containing nicotine and that's mostly what they're used for. Therefore, all nicotine free liquids are subject to regulation as components or parts because they're going to be...

    Please clarify. Are you asking why I believe refillables probably won't be approved?.

    Ha, proving once again that it's impossible to keep up with all the info on this forum.

    Has seen an ad for E-cigarettes that claim all the user inhales is "harmless water vapor"?

    Their website is shut down, current Starfire products can't be found on the Internet, so it seems that the company is out of business. Most, if not all, e-cig companies have disclaimers saying that they are not marketing products for smoking cessation and they make no health claims. For...

    Worried about safety with batteries in vape pens

    Although I've had no problem with iStick products and I've not heard of any iStick or MVP batteries venting, I echo everything Baditude has said. And there's something else to consider: I'm only buying mods with replaceable batteries. Unless the FDA's deeming regulation is held to be invalid...

    Billion Lives Needs Help

    The film will be screened in Kansas City on Nov. 15 at a movie theater a few blocks from my home. I immediately tried to buy tickets, but according to the ABL website it's sold out. :( Now what?? Is there a way to find out who organized this screening?

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I share your concern. As I posted on Aug. 27 (#13416), "Sometimes following oral argument the judge will ask for further briefing to focus on what she thinks is a decisive issue or possibly something needing more clarification." Let's hope she hasn't already narrowed this down to whether or not...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    If, as the linked article suggests, this judge still doesn't understand the difference between open and closed system products and plaintiffs' counsel failed to explain it to her, there's a serious and fundamental problem with the way this case is being presented. I was glad the judge...

    FDA’s Rule on E-Cigarettes Will Hurt Public Health

    While CNS is conservative, your post makes it sound like it's run by the R. Party which it is not.
