    FDA to regulate e-cig as tobacco

    Sjrily, the key to that prohibition against "marketing in combination" provision is the marketing part. As you see above in the part of the guidance you quoted, what a seller cannot do is to "market" the product "as containing both products". In other words, you could not market an e-cigarette...

    FDA to Regulate Electronic Cigarettes as Tobacco Products

    Chief, the discussion has started one up, in the legislation news sub-forum. In short, it's hugely good news - for now - in that it is essentially the FDA's public announcement that it is conceding to Njoy's victory in the lawsuit, and will NOT be filing a petition for review by the Supreme...

    In NEW YORK is Rosenthals ban still in effect?

    Last year's bill passed in the Assembly only. It never reached the Senate floor for a vote, and thus it never became law. This year Rosenthal is trying again, and her bill (identical to last year's but for its identifying bill number) is still pending Assembly committee action. The Senate...

    I just got the nod to vape from my doctor

    Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, a mild stimulant, and can mildly, but temporarily, increase blood pressure as well (as is and does caffeine too). However, hereditary high blood pressure has nothing to do with nicotine consumption. If a person is genetically doomed to high blood pressure, he or...

    Macon, Georgia attempting to pass smoking / e-cig indoor ban

    Wonderful new resource Elaine! Can I make one suggestion, though? A couple of statements in the second main section, read in isolation, might be a bit confusing - possibly allowing readers to think you refer to e-cigs when you refer to pharm products. For example, with my suggested potential...

    Received this email from FDA

    Higbe33, it is a form letter, and one that has been in use since more than two years ago! I would have hoped that they would have changed it by now, given the huge legal developments since its first appearance in early 2009 or thereabouts. Is this just a case of the left hand not knowing what...

    Gyrospinup, I replied to your identical post in the other thread. However, I'm going to copy that reply here, as it's too important to leave unremarked upon.

    Springfield MO Proposes Adding E-Cigarettes to Smoking Prohibitions

    Gyrospinup, you've totally got the wrong culprit! Donations to these groups are not being used to aid "communism". They are being used to aid, protect, and enhance the profits of the pharmaceutical industry! Check out the huge - and I mean in the millions - amounts given to these groups by big...

    Just got this from the FDA

    This is the regulation that I pointed out back when the FDA sent letters to the five electronic cigarette and/or liquid sellers and the (then already defunct) ECA - the one that deems any product that claims to help stop or reduce smoking to be a "smoking deterrent drug product", which thus...

    New york sales ban next steps

    ABeautifulD, the bills are still sitting in committee. A1468, the Assembly version, is still pending in the Assembly Codes Committee, and it has not come up on its meeting agenda yet. I check regularly. On this page, Committee Agenda, you see any committee meetings scheduled for the...
