    FDA Wall St. Jrnl op/ed by Mike Siegel: The E-Cigarette Gateway Myth

    I was previously unaware of the CDC's contribution to our current situation :sneaky: gee, thanks CDC! The FDA, CDC, and NIH are collectively responsible for nearly exposing people to extremely dangerous, highly contagious viruses recently due to their gross negligence :grr: Maybe they should...

    FDA Interesting Comment Idea

    Excellent! With all of their talk about "protecting the children," the least they could do is think about how it actually affects them!

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

    It's hard to say, the FDA is taking their sweet time reading these and posting them to the public docket. People are saying anywhere from 3 days to two weeks from the time they comment to the time they can find their comment by searching :closedeyes: so many more of us have posted just in the...

    Compulsive chain vaping affecting lungs

    Vaping produces a very low heat actually, about 50-60 degrees celsius, whereas the heat from a lit cigarette is more like 400 degrees. It doesn't take much heat to vaporize a liquid. There has been some evidence that cranking up the voltage real high on a battery will heat the liquid enough to...

    New Study - Benefits of E-Cigarettes May Outweigh Harm from Smoking

    The claim that certain flavors attract children is completely unsubstantiated based on the current existing evidence. Every study done on children and e-cigs has found that children who use them have a previous history of smoking traditional cigarettes. Based on the actual evidence, if any...

    FDA FDA Deeming Comments - I'm starting to be worried

    I really think they're biting off more than they can chew here. Claiming that all e-cig products will just have to come off the market pending application review is a lot to ask of such a huge, diverse industry. I don't think the deeming regulations are enforceable as they currently are, and I...

    FDA Please keep up the FDA comments everybody!

    Unfortunately for us, correlation does not mean causation :) though I agree that smoking rates are most likely dropping now due to an increase in e-cigarette use, ANTZ could just as easily turn around and say it's because all of their anti-smoking and "For The Children!!!" campaigns are working...

    FDA 27.07.2014 - Glantz to FDA - FDA should prohibit of use of flavors

    I agree. We will never see these people actually be held accountable, either publicly or in a court of law. Instead one of two things will happen: 1) We'll see a quiet, not-very-well-publicized admission along the lines of "oh, well we 'now' have evidence that THR is the way to go so we'll...

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

    My latest comment to the FDA: FDA Personnel, We would all appreciate it if you stop saying that you know nothing about electronic cigarettes, and are "unaware" of any studies pertaining to their safety and patterns of use. I and several others have submitted many scientific studies to the FDA...

    FDA Personally unworried about the regulations

    Everything I've contained in the above quote involves you twisting the meaning of what I've said: - I did not say that cigalikes cannot work to help someone quit smoking, just that they generally will not or do not. - I never said that vaping only exists to help people achieve complete...

    reported deaths due to nicotine

    I doubt that most of these stories are completely untrue propaganda - if they were there would be a lot more than 3 reported deaths worldwide. That last one however... PURE propaganda, at it's finest :grr: Some cases like this may be faulty parenting, other people may be truly ignorant of the...

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

    I disagree wholeheartedly. No one gives a gosh darn if you still have access to your adult hobby, whereas people in general care deeply about smoking addiction. Adopting a harm reduction stance affirms the necessity and urgency of our access to these products. As far as the previous court...

    FDA Personally unworried about the regulations

    Sigh... I see what you're doing here as splitting hairs, unnecessarily, and missing the larger goal at hand. I did not say they do not work, I said they do not work for the majority of people trying to achieve complete abstinence, especially heavy smokers. There is a huge difference there...

    FDA Personally unworried about the regulations

    Sigh... Saying that they worked for you is not the same as saying that they work for people in general. They do not. I don't know how much you smoked (or still do...), but as for me, cigalikes only served to help me cut back and got me into vaping. They absolutely did not help me quit...
