    Even though I no longer eat candy(I’m a practicing carnivore dieter), my favorite easter candy used to be Cadbury caramel filled eggs.

    Testing of flavors

    I haven't posted in a long , long , long time(thank God I gave up all this vaping nonsense some time ago). But, while perusing the web, I occasionally drop by every once in a while and I couldn't help myself when I saw this post. This is the EXACT same BS "study" that Flavourart tried to pull...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Thank for the unncessary and ridiculous condescendence. Uh, yes I'm quite aware of the difference between civil and criminal law(I caught that in my Law and Pharmacy law courses in College) and don't once recall erroneously mixing the two. We can't request anything of FDA.This CIVIL appelate...

    DC Court of Appeals rules against FDA 3-0 and in favor of NJOY

    I'm still trying to understand how this is such a fantasy. It certainly wouldn't have been the first time that new , totally novel product, created the necessity for a different regulatory scheme. The main problem here(and it's been mentioned a zillion times since I started on this forum) is...

    Matt Salmon is now president of NJOY (Sottera, Inc)

    This is going to be my last post for the day. Being a graduate with a Pharmacy degree, I understand the whole clinical process a bit more than most. #1. Manufacturers are the ones financially responsible for clinical testing of THEIR product for approval(not the government)- that's how it is...

    No you'll still be able to "get" ecigs and eliquid. It just will be in a radically different marketing state. The FDA will, most likely, only approve ecig models that have been UL, FCC approved/listed and meet set consumer protective guidelines(mod days are likely over). The eliquid will have to...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Your right on this SS, the duty to prove any safety claim is still on the manufacturer of the "alternative reduced harm" product. This statement is referring to the fact that it is left to the discretion of the FDA to decide whether those safety claims are legitimate and if , making those...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Incorrect, the decision today, in essence, birthed ecigs/eliquids as a NEW tobacco product(until today they had no legitimate legal status); so they weren't an existing TOBACCO product, just an existing product with no legal classifications. And FDA is going to be all over this - and they are...

    Matt Salmon is now president of NJOY (Sottera, Inc)

    The decision has been made. It was either drug or tobacco. The appeals court decided. The FDA now has control under the FSPTC Act. Like it or not, this is what everyone wanted. And if you think my credibility is questionable, READ THE ACT!! The question of how the industry was to be regulated...

    Matt Salmon is now president of NJOY (Sottera, Inc)

    Most, if not all, of the registered and/or approved supplier on ECF are going to be put out of business because of this decision anyway; So ECF really isn't going to have many suppliers to advertise for. I can't see ECF being a great place to come with only NJOY, Philip Morris & RJR Reynolds...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    If I was a betting man, I wouldn't put a great deal of money on it. Because you know how endeared FDA is to the ecig/eliquid industry. Being that they have the power as per the FSPTC Act(and they do, read the act, it gives them awesome power over the tobacco industry) I think they will be...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Just to add - Today another Tobacco milestone!!! The first ever award of damages(in a settlement) against a tobacco alternative product(chewing tobacco): CT "chewbacco'' maker settles victim suit | Hartford Business Timely huh??????? I hope all you ecig vendors have your product...

    DC Court of Appeals rules against FDA 3-0 and in favor of NJOY

    Just what I had referenced before about a third(non-drug, non-tobacco) scheme - (i.e. non therapuetic, non combustible, recreational nicotine delivery device). This will not ever happen. There are no rigorous, scientific safety studies out there to justify it.

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Provisions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act: - Creates a tobacco control center within the FDA and gives the FDA authority to regulate the content, marketing and sale of tobacco products.(this is really ALL that they need) - Requires tobacco companies and importers to...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    The only win would have been if the ecig vendors(within the past 3 YEARS of US marketing) would have been able to supply some type of rigorous, scientifically acceptable safety/toxicity analysis data. The industry could have used this to attempt to get FDA to consider that ecigs were neither...

    DC Court of Appeals rules against FDA 3-0 and in favor of NJOY

    I've already answered this in another thread so rather than repeat myself: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-news/143159-matt-salmon-now-president-njoy-sottera-inc.html#post2285210 This is EXACTLY why, back when vapers were sane(when i started vaping), we INSISTED that...

    Matt Salmon is now president of NJOY (Sottera, Inc)

    Yes there is, In CA.And I'm sure NJOY was following that model as that IS most likely HOW the FDA will regulate ecigs(being they now have the full authority under the FSPTC Act) Why would NJOY voluntarily do this. Ecig flavors (besides tobacco and Menthol) are definitely going to be out. With...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    AND Shan.... ECF may be seeing it's final days due to MASSIVE tobacco advertising restrictions that have been in place even before the FSPTC Act... Since ECF is, ostensibly, an advertising website for a myriad of the ,once, major suppliers. NJOY and BIG Tobacco win....everyone else loses...
