    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    I'm no lawyer, but I think a statement made in what is essentially the "About Us" section of a website, not made specifically about any particular product, which has been echoed by international health institutions, doesn't really constitute a deceptive practice. That is, of course, just my opinion.

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    I suppose that would depend on the judge. The claim in question wasn't "all of our products are better than smoking" it was the general claim "vaping is better for you than smoking" and I'm positive I could find plenty of evidence to support that general claim. The federal regulation isn't...

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    Honestly, I can definitely see the FDA taking action on this, and they would be supported by the law, even if they weren't supported by, you know, the truth. However, as far as the state Consumer Protection Act, who gets to decide if the claims are false? Where's the burden of proof?

    petition needs your signature

    We are losing right now, on most fronts. I'm prepared to fight for vaping for as long as I have to. It's taken the "other stuff" about 50 years to make it to where it is now, and that fight isn't over. If it takes 50 years for the truth about vaping to become widely known, I think I've got 50...

    petition needs your signature

    It's a tough call. Honestly, I've never had much hope for the petition to actually be successful, by itself, to remove vapor products from the TCA. The purpose of all this was to get the message out, and it has done that, but not as much as I hoped. It doesn't help that the advocacy groups...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    The FDA is pretty clear on how they intend to enforce this: "However, at this time, FDA intends to limit enforcement of the premarket authorization provisions to finished tobacco products. In this context, a finished tobacco product refers to a tobacco product, including all components and...

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    You mean like Dr. Laura? Laura Schlessinger - Wikipedia Or Dr. Stanton Glantz? Clearly those statements are in violation of the deeming regs. The state consumer protection act, to me, seems a bit murkier. There is evidence to support their claims after all.

    Boom goes another

    I was watching the movie Along Came a Spider yesterday, came out in 2001. There's a scene where a little girl uses a battery pack from an intercom to make an explosion/fire that she uses as a distraction to try to get away from a kidnapper.

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    I assume it's this bit: § 2453. Practices prohibited; antitrust and consumer protection (a) Unfair methods of competition in commerce and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce are hereby declared unlawful. Of course, I can't find a definition of that, and I'm sure it could be...

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    My interest is piqued, and in the small amount of digging I've done, I don't see anything in the state's tobacco laws that would apply. The only mention of the consumer protection act under the tobacco laws is a section dealing with internet sales of cigarettes. No mention in that section of...

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    Good point, if they're allegedly in violation of Vermont state law, I'd like to see what the specific charges are. If it's the federal FDA thing, it wouldn't be the VT AG pursuing this.

    Bad news for a B&M I go to

    It is, if you're a tobacco retailer and the product you're talking about is a tobacco product, and your opinion can be construed as a "health claim." It's ridiculous, but that's how it is. Well, it's not "illegal" but it is an unauthorized modified risk claim.

    Wire spool's

    My favorite rda is the derringer, it can be run single or dual. There's also a v3 with a velocity style deck, making single coil builds even easier.

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    Most of the nic we use is tobacco derived, there is I believe one company using synthetic, and no one that I know of using nicotine derived from other plants. My statement was referring to the fact that Nicotine is not necessarily a raw material like a tobacco plant would be, it is a processed...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    All correct, I think there's a deeper flaw to the TCA also. As you said, they couldn't ban cigarettes, so they just de facto banned "new" products. This didn't actually allow for cigarettes to be made safer either.

    Are torn wrappers really dangerous?

    I think you've answered your own question here. Is every tear immediately dangerous? Nope. It depends on the mod and where the tear is. However, as a general rule, tears are bad and should be rewrapped. If only because a tear will likely get worse over time.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Aren't there already a lot of regulations for consumable goods? The question in my mind is, why do we need separate regulations for these products? Not to mention all the regulations included in the TCA that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual safety of the products and deal more with...
