    FDA Has there been any updates yet?

    Yes, u r right technically. But I guess on board means different things to different people. He def says he supports us - and I don't doubt that a bit. What we really need is a passionate leader who will push for a bipartisan bill that changes the date and otherwise protects against the...

    FDA Has there been any updates yet?

    Oh I don't (I am doing some stocking as well) but I hear far more people here doing stocking than advocating for themselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FDA Has there been any updates yet?

    Jeez folks, if we just took one tenth of the effort of all the folks stockpiling or bending over for the FDA and put it into changing the law, we'd have this fixed in 6 months. Much of FDA's authority is being reauthorized by Congress next year. What a nice place to create a new vapor products...

    Hello all!

    Thanks Ocelot, That's a great letter. As you know the Reg Flexibility Act compliance is a major problem with this regulation. Several lawsuits are going after them on that, nevertheless, we need to replace this regulation by Act of Congress to be durable. Some are suggesting an easier...

    Representatives

    I completely understand about the lack of comprehension with Boxer and Feinstein, and desire for term limits, but here's the thing: you now have an opportunity to make your next Senator from CA. There will be two candidates on the ballot, with very different views on vaping. Your AG Harris...

    Hello all!

    You're right about that Bronze. The system ain't good, but as they say, either you are at the table, or you are on the menu. We're at war, need all willing soldiers. The more of us there are, the more scared / responsive they will be! Thanks much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello all!

    You are right BDH, I was the chief of staff for a Senator when we passed FSPTCA and we never really discussed e-cigs. That said, we have America Cancer Society, CTFK, Amer Heart, Lung, Pediatrics, etc telling them that we ARE big tobacco and we're going after their kids. I Sh/t you not, they...

    Hello all!

    ZoiDman, it's kind of like the snowball effect. The boss of FDA is Congress. Contrary to popular opinion, they are actually quite sensitive to public (our) opinion. I have seen and been involved in dozens of issue campaigns and have no doubt that if 40% of us would have a conversation with...

    Hello all!

    Thanks Bnrkwest, I guess the best answer is "not necessarily". If vapor products want to market as a "Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) the FDA has a separate (also impossible) application process for that. But I think our goal is to win in the court of public perception and the Congress...

    Help deciding what to stockup

    This may not be a popular view on this thread, but I'm going to suggest it anyway. If you are willing to accept what the FDA is proposing, and spend $500-$1000 to stockpile, might you be willing to do one other thing to actually CHANGE THE NEED to stockpile and allow the market to continue? I...

    Hello all!

    Thanks for the warm welcome. It probably won't happen until next year, but this is the plan: Step 1 - change predicate date so all current products can remain. Step 2 - move vaping regulation outside of punitive Center for Tobacco Product regime to encourage harm reduction. Going to need all...

    Regulations

    The FDA regulation needs to be changed. And litigation is the slow and more expensive way, but is underway. The faster and more efficient way is through Congress. In Congress, nearly all the opposition to vaping is based on the "gateway effect" fallacy. We need to disprove that (as CDC and...

    Hello all!

    Ok, I'm way overdue in joining this forum. My name is Mike and I am the federal lobbyist for SFATA. Yep, it's my job to change the FDA deeming rule and more. Gonna need all of your help and hard work - but fun also likely to be had. Let's do this!
