    I love how they downplay what SE is going to do to the market, master {MODERATED}

    FDA Bill Godshall commentary on FDA deeming proposals

    What I don't get is how they can get away with the SE clause in the first place, it just has so many red flags to it and their reasoning for putting it in place is a paper thin cover for protecting an existing market. I think that especially since they seem to be biased about who they're...

    FDA Could WTO help us?

    So I heard a year or two ago the WTO was thinking of suing the FDA for their ban on flavored cigarettes being obviously targeted towards imports to protect the US cigarette market since it exempted menthol. Now I don't know if they had a case or not or are still planning to do it but it got me...

    Missouri bill (HB 1345) would ban sale of any “tobacco-derived product and vapor product” to a minor

    I say this is a good thing. We can say we're doing something about minors vaping without being restrictive to adults. Antis actually hate laws like this for that reason.

    White House OMB rejects FDA's draft regs for e-cigs as too restrictive, tells agency to draft/submit a new proposal

    So I have one basic question for the people following this issue closely: weighing both the current situation in europe and the OMB rejection of the FDA's proposal, on a scale of 1 to 10 what would you place the likelyhood of the e-cig industry's survival in the next 10 years? How likely are we...

    EU TPD vote: Europe has fallen - Big Money has triumphed

    Even Sweden voted for it? That's pretty surprising with the whole snus thing over there, I figured they'd be all for E-cigs.

    EU TPD vote: Europe has fallen - Big Money has triumphed

    so wait... the really bad proposal passed? like the one where they have to deliver consistent amounts of nicotine and all that? damn.... if it weren't for OMB's descision on sunday I would be really scared right now, but since the FDA is back at the drawing board for a while we've definitely...

    White House OMB rejects FDA's draft regs for e-cigs as too restrictive, tells agency to draft/submit a new proposal

    awesome news. the longer it takes the less likely they are to do much as our industry just keeps getting more and more solid. pretty soon we'll have almost as much lobbying power as John$on and John$on

    NJOY hires Big Pharma regulatory affairs director and Big Pharma researcher (in preparation for FDA e-cig regs)

    Question: What kind of regulations does N-joy want to go for? Are they for the "Let's get rid of anything with juice in it so people can only sell prefilled cartridges like us and ban all flavors and apply the PACT act to E-cig products" kind of regulations or do they actually want an open...

    House Dems call for cigar, e-cigarette regulations over 'kid-friendly' products

    To be fair, these days any kid CAN go to Walgreens and buy a prepaid visa to get whatever they want online, problem is they don't go through all that trouble, the worst you got to worry about is 16 year olds, mostly already smokers who are just getting a job buying them online if they have their...

    Altria now indicates support for FDA regulation of e-cigs, fails to acknowledge that "deeming" reg would ban all e-cigs

    oh man this worries me, usually if the big tobacco companies are talking about regulations coming, that means the FDA already have their minds made up, and with the backing from big tobacco, they'll most certainly happen. Let's face it, big tobacco doesn't want to eliminate e-cigarettes but they...

    Rush Limbaugh new ecig post 12/2012

    much of a jerk as he is, we need all the help we can get. Personally I'm hoping we get a more libertarian government that doesn't give a F what adults put in their bodies but that's not gonna happen

    Letter in St. Louis Post-Dispatch claims e-cigs emit smoke, and calls for indoor e-cig usage ban

    Holy crap I think I might know the guy who wrote the letter bashing it, unless it's just a dude with the same name.... either way, Even though I don't even use e-cigs or nicotine anymore really, I'm still opposed to the FDA, the drug industry, and all their lies. E-cigs aren't the only thing the...

    Not downing the company, but major e-cig company president says to industry to shape up.

    we're just lucky he's the only one to go this far, there could be a lot more people like him but there aren't thankfully, sure you got people that make the "1 carto= 2 packs" claim but nobody else really goes beyond that. either way we gotta keep an eye on everything this guy does, you never...

    Not downing the company, but major e-cig company president says to industry to shape up.

    also who makes those disposable e-cigars that GN sells? the ones that are actually wrapped in brown paper that feels similar to a cigar wrapper? those were actually pretty good, I'd buy one for $10, any vendors that sell those for an actually good price? EDIT: something like this that doesn't...
