    FDA CASAA's Comment to the FDA Deeming Reg's

    On page 41: "Perhaps what is most notable in this collection is CTP’s palpable sense of frustration about how complicated the available information about e-cigarettes is. Several authors practically concede that they wish more of the information was spoon-fed to them, and that they are unable...

    FDA CASAA's Comment to the FDA Deeming Reg's

    I'm reading it on and off, I've made it to page 23 so far. It's got that delectable mix of cold hard truth and biting sarcasm that I long for in politics and legalese :D very nice job CASAA! :thumbs:

    The final countdown to August 8th - your FDA comments NEEDED

    Also in reply to Zoidman above, excuse my lazy quoting: When you search for e-cigarette, electronic cigarette, e-cig, and vaporizer, you get wildly different results for each. There is some overlap for sure, there are a lot of people who use both e-cigarette and e-cig in their comment and will...

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    I agree that it is important to use some political background when discussing the FDA, but only as much as is absolutely necessary. Opinions on partisan politics, especially those that are arguably off topic, have no place here, as they can be divisive. We need to mobilize everyone here to...

    FDA So how would you categorize / summarize your FDA comments?

    One of my posts was my personal story, along with a summary of my feelings on major issues like flavoring and product access. After that I made about 35 comments (I don't know the exact count offhand). The majority of my comments were simply attachments to scientific studies that I feel speak...

    FDA I think we need to push the zero-nic angle in our comments

    As CASAA called it, this is a "de facto ban." So it is a ban, just not in the sense of the product being outright illegal. It is a ban in that they require approval for the product to be sold legally, but never give approval, therefore it is never legal to sell them. So it is a ban, just a...

    Vaping in Movies/Television

    All I've ever seen on TV was Jenny McCarthy's Blu advertisements... I liked that e-cigarettes were on TV, but having her advertise them paints them in a bad light imo... just saying....

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    That is exactly why we need to make sure they know we're here. ANTZ are very vocal, but unfortunately many vapers either go about with business as usual, or keep quiet because they fear the stigma attached to them by the anti-smoking crowd. The net result is that legislators hear from ANTZ...

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    Th difference is that FTV's comments each have an individual's story within them, whereas the "I am an adult cigar smoker.." comments are almost identical to each other. Thus, they have just cause to disregard all but one of those cigar smoker comments, but they have to treat the FTV comments...

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    I saw that NY's attorney general is on the list, and he is up for re-election. He will soon be receiving a letter from me notifying him that if he doesn't change his tune real quick he just lost my vote. Unfortunately this is not surprising coming from the state that has a bill in the works...

    The final countdown to August 8th - your FDA comments NEEDED

    When Judge Leon ruled that 3 of the 12 members of TPSAC (Tobacco Product Scientific Advisory Committee) had to be replaced asap, this was largely due to severe conflicts of interest they had with GlaxoSmithKline. Unfortunately for us, the regulations were written before the judge's ruling...

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    As a math geek, the title of this article made me chuckle :D The happiness quotient? Do they mean the happiness difference quotient?? Is that the "calculus" the title is referring to??? :lol:

    Man killed; BBC article

    I agree, we need a universal charging system. We also need to ensure that batteries and chargers have overcharge protection, and that people use the correct adapter for wall charging rather than whatever happens to be lying around. I looked into these battery explosions a while back, and...

    FDA The ANTZ are coming out to play

    They've already done tons of studies exactly like this on e-cigs, going all the way back to the famous 2009 Ruyan study in New Zealand :D Drs. Farsalinos, Polosa, and Capponetto (sp?) have each worked on several, and are working on more. I've read many of their studies to submit as deeming reg...
