    Quit Smoking With Electronic Cigarettes

    I still had a copy of the article up on my screen. Here are some quotes from it: "A new study found that 31 percent of smokers who were first-time buyers of “Blu” e-cigarettes reported that they had completely stopped smoking six months after buying them." "The “Blue” brand of e-cigarettes...

    Quit Smoking With Electronic Cigarettes

    LOL - the whole "article" is nothing but an advertisement for Blu. The "commenter" as well was acting for Blu. That's why he (or she) didn't like Traver's comment!

    Why are PV's being regulated in the 1st place. The juice with nicotine I can understand.

    APD, your article is from 2007. The legislation handing over full regulatory power over tobacco to the FDA was passed in June 2009. It was called the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009. Here it is...

    FDA rules that dissolvable tobacco lozenges are NOT currenty regulated tobacco products

    Yes, Elaine, the FSPTCA itself declares that it is to be a new Chapter IX of the FDCA. The FDA is just late in updating its website. This provision is found in Title I, Section 101(b) of the FSPTCA, as follows: SEC. 101. AMENDMENT OF FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT. ***** (b)...

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    It's ok. The problem is the forum's autoformatting of links doesn't give a clue when you are linking to a specific page of a thread that that's what you are doing. The only way a reader would know for sure is to click the link and see where they get to. :-)

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    Data, the link I gave isn't to the article - it leads directly to Elaine's post at about page 5 of the thread, the one listing all the journal articles and research findings (that undefind was asking for). :-)

    What to do - Proposed bans in 4 states

    No. As Elaine pointed out, the proposed New York legislation specifically refers to the New York definition of "tobacco product", found in 1399-aa of the New York Public Health Law. So even if the federal question were finally and authoritatively settled, and e-cigs were ruled tobacco...

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    LOL. No he's not Julie. You can tell because he's at least not insisting that he's the only one who knows the true interpretation of the definition of "tobacco product" as found in the FSTPCA, and that both Judge Leon AND the Court of Appeals have to be wrong. :laugh: (Which Phi is still harping...

    Gums are sore after 1st day of vaping

    Bleeding gums is yet another symptom of nicotine/smoking withdrawal. Many vapers do not realize that they are very likely getting less nicotine when they switch to vaping, and may well be contending with many symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, that they then confuse with "symptoms" of vaping...

    New york sales ban next steps

    DC2, you did not see my post right under NoMatches' original request for a one-pager? The Position Statement I linked to is an existing, excellent one-pager, with citations to some of the more important references, including the Siegel journal article, and packs a ton of good information into...

    Elaine Keller and Parkinson's

    My point is that Elaine does not need educating by you IV. She has posted much previously about the diseases of Alzheimer's, DLB, and Parkinson's. See, eg: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nicotine/31914-nicotine-parkinsons-dementia.html#post487494...

    New york sales ban next steps

    NoMatches, a good one-pager would be the CASAA Position Statement. You can download and print it from here: http://www.casaa.org/files/Casaa%20Position%20Statement.pdf

    Fox 40 NY piece on e-cigarette ban (NY Senate Under 18 Only Bill Introduced)

    Yes, they are prime prospects. I (as CASAA) already wrote to them, so will now have to reengage them with this new request (to begin with by phone and/or by writing again). I know that some NVC people, who live in the NYC area where several Assembly members to target have their home offices, are...

    New york sales ban next steps

    Good news for New York! See this thread about Senator Owen Johnson's newly presented bill that prohibits sales to minors: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-news/160623-fox-40-ny-piece-e-cigarette-ban-ny-senate-under-18-only-bill-introduced.html#post2644778 This new...

    Fox 40 NY piece on e-cigarette ban (NY Senate Under 18 Only Bill Introduced)

    This new competing bill is VERY good news for New York. It certainly does trump Rosenthal's evil and misguided attempt at an all out sales ban. Here it is: S2926-2011 - NY Senate Open Legislation - Prohibits the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors - New York State Senate It's main...

    YNN contacted me and want to use my story!

    Super! Elaine did such a fantastic job getting all the most critical points in that great one page statement, that I wish the whole world would see it! The thanks go to YOU, Hogie.

    YNN contacted me and want to use my story!

    Sounds like a really great job done Hoagie! :thumb: And forgive me for this "but" (I can't help it), but I hope you mean the CASAA position statement, and not really the mission statement?

    FDA loses appeal today!

    As an agency of the federal government, the FDA enjoys sovereign immunity. That's why it cannot be sued for monetary damages. And that's why the SE & Njoy lawsuit was grounded in a request for an injunction only (and of course an accompanying legal ruling regarding whether the FDA had the...
