    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Very few actual vapers, I'd imagine. "Victims" of second-hand vapor account for a majority of these "reports." This country has more than its share of useful idiots, hypochondriacs, whiners, and highly suggestible people whose primary "skills" consist of lying, imagining things and making up crap.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    You can read these reports HERE. I wouldn't recommend it, but they might be good for some laughs. Reading the first 4 or 5, I discovered that a mere whiff of second hand vapor causes extreme adverse reactions such as nausea, headaches, coughing, trouble breathing, aggravation of chest colds...

    There's not much more we can do as individuals. CASAA should encourage and help to organize local chapters where vapers can meet regularly, elect leaders, plan strategy and mobilize members for action. Writing letters to politicians isn't a particularly creative or, it seems, effective strategy.

    Yes, but it's not my decision. I have encouraged him to talk about it. But this hit him just 2 days ago. Maybe everybody should cut him a little slack right now and give him some time to deal with it, wouldn't you agree?

    Thank you, I appreciate it very much. Yes, he's extraordinary. I had no idea what he'd done in Vietnam. Decades went by and he never said anything to me about it. I didn't know about the medals or any of it. And then recently, through another source, I found out about the medals and read the...

    Thank you. No, he doesn't want to burden others, whereas me, well, I guess I don't mind a little sympathy at this point.

    Thank you. He's a "tough" guy--I imagine he doesn't want sympathy or attention right now.

    This isn't directly pertinent to anything and it's a downer. But for some irrational reason I felt the need to talk to you guys about this. A lifelong friend of mine, lifelong cigarette smoker, has just been diagnosed with lung cancer in both lungs. He won't let me share this with any of our...

    Yes, the underscore has a certain mysterious Greek-ness to it. You believe it must have significance, but you're almost afraid to ask.

    "Electronic cigarettes have caused big problems for me. First off, I had planned my retirement based on the assumption that smoking cigarettes would result in my premature demise. However, I was able to stop smoking with e-cigarettes and my lifespan has probably been extended to the point that...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    The legislative branch has delegated a great deal of legislative authority to the executive branch. Not something the Founders envisioned or would have favored.

    FDA Let's talk legal theory. (Section 910, in particular)

    Procedures vary from district to district and also some have changed over time. There was a period of time in the D.C. district when not all cases were assigned randomly. Instead, the chief judge or a committee of judges would assign unusually complex or difficult cases based on experience and...

    FDA Has there been any updates yet?

    I I'm aware of two lawsuits, one in CA and the other in D.C. I know of one more in planning. Any others?

    FDA Let's talk legal theory. (Section 910, in particular)

    You've inspired me to dig a little deeper. According to D.C. District Court Rule 40.3, cases are assigned on a random basis.

    I need some research help for an article on e-cigarettes and children

    I believe one cigarette contain from 8 - 20 milligrams nicotine, with the average being 12. That's nowhere near enough to kill anybody.
