    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    That's true, but if most manufacturers and shops register, it will prove that their economic impact estimates are completely wrong and that might provide a further basis for legal attack.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Their "estimate" is a blatant lie calculated to minimize the economic impact. How much fun would it be to cross-examine FDA officials on that? I would pay good money for the opportunity.

    Not sure if your question is serious (sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet). Anyway Congress didn't empower the FDA to ban cigarettes or to require approval of anything on the market as of Feb. 2007.

    Ha! Internet satire is hard to pull off. You have to make extreme proposals, a la "A Modest Proposal," which is anything but modest. Eta: But for me It's too horrifying to be funny.

    I'll take responsibility for the apparent fact that my post was not seen as a mild parody, conveying the same views as your own. Eta: Make that "blame." When a politician says he takes responsibility, the actual message is that it's really not his fault.

    My post was intended as satire. Sorry that wasn't readily apparent. I thought the extreme dichotomy between the two alternative activities might be mildly amusing.

    Some of us here actually appear to be intelligent and even downright clever. Many have acquired wisdom from facing and overcoming a wide range of challenges and setbacks. We are, for the most part, well educated, with skilz in the art of written expression. And yet, here we are spending our time...

    They're exempt by statute. You need to read the statute.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I really don't intend to engage in a scholarly discussion of statutory construction and how it relates to administrative law right now. It may boil down to unforeseeable factors, such as how hung over the judge is.

    That's why I said, "The FSPTCA, particularly as interpreted and applied by the FDA, may be void for vagueness..."

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    True, but I was unable to find a bell curve for rock-headedness.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I think he means something like what I posted in this thread eight days ago. Here it is again, slightly revised: Speaking of the Constitution, and trying to get back on topic, if a statute is hopelessly vague, such that people can't figure out what it covers and what it doesn't so that they can...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    It's just a NY state court ruling is on the definition of "smoking." As the deeming regulation doesn't define that term, the deeming regulation will have no effect on NY state laws using the term "smoking."

    Ha! Fair enough, but you may have to bribe me with a beer. I have rather expensive taste in beer.

    There is that risk, but I had a warrior princess for a classmate in high school and her hair was like Carrie Fisher's. I thought I might date her, but at my young age the metal bewb protectors were a bit intimidating. I wish babies would find some other way of expressing their displeasure.
