    Read this! TPD European regulations come into effect tomorrow: Or do they (UK)?

    I have a Union Jack left over from 9/11 which I bought and flew when the Brits were the first to come out in our support. I'm flying it now.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    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 adjust their behavior accordingly, the statute may be declared "void for vagueness" and thus unconstitutional...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    It's too complicated an issue and the media rarely gets the science right. Transsexuals using public restrooms is much easier to report on and seemingly of greater interest to most people. For example, earlier this week, Target announced that it would be "inclusive" in it's restroom policies...

    Done. Dear Sen. Johnson and honorable committee members: I just wanted to express my deep and sincere appreciation to you for your request for information from the FDA on its deeming regulation as it affects e-cigarettes. Your letter reflected a great deal of insight into the devastating...

    You and I are members of the Rand Paul party. Until now I thought I was the only member.

    The CEO of Johnson Creek is quoted in the linked letter, which is well worth reading.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    It will be quite interesting to see Califf's response to Sen. Johnson's letter, linked above. He gave them two weeks. Among other questions, he asks (paraphrasing): How many businesses will have to shut down? As the FDA claims it lacks "sufficient data" to determine the effect of e-cigarettes on...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    This may be included in "contact their reps" but making phone calls or even personal visits to your congressional representatives' offices will get more attention that e-mails which almost always seem to generate canned non-responses.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Have they posted the Complaint? Have they held a press conference? Have they given media interviews? Issued press releases? If so, where are they? Why is there no reference to any of that on this forum? This has to be one of the most anemic PR efforts in history. When the FDA barely hinted that...

    ◙ Li’l PINCH (←thang) ◙ pdib (←maker) ◙ not sayin’ (←just sayin’) ◙ shuh-ZAM! (←hyperbole)

    For the benefit of the uninitiated, could someone please explain (like you would to a 3rd grader) what wire to use, how to wind it, and how to connect it to the Nuppin'? I can't tell for sure from the picture. Or maybe you would please point me to a video.

    Read this! Dr Michael Mosley. Not hooked!

    "Recognize" it? You mean hang our heads in shame and confess to it, like at an AA meeting? Or just quietly slink away like lepers? I fail to see how people will be more "accepting" of vaping and vapers if we self-acknowledge dependence. ETA: The remainder of my response is in blue, interlaced...

    Yes, it might serve our interests, but at present they intend to take it around to more film festivals, notably in Australia and Europe, premiere it theatrically in the US (maybe in August), and then release it on BluRay, pay-per-view, etc., in the fall.

    This is one of the reasons why e-cigarettes and, for that matter, conventional cigarettes are different from other dependence-inducing substances. And, unlike smokers, alcoholics often lose their jobs, their families and friends, and end up on the street. Lumping smokers and vapers in with...

    Read this! Dr Michael Mosley. Not hooked!

    I, for one, would prefer if we stopped calling ourselves "nicotine addicts," and I certainly don't agree that I suffer from a genetic personality flaw that kept me smoking. There are enough people calling smokers derogatory names without us vapers joining in the chorus. HERE is an excellent...

    Not really single issue. Excessive regulation is a multi-headed monster.

    If Zeller and his ilk were in charge back in Wild West days, they would have burned every village and town between KC and San Francisco to the ground, closed all the roads, declared martial law and imprisoned or executed anyone who protested.
