From Dr. Farsalinos: A new study verifies the lower risk-potential of e-cigarettes but identifies an avoidable risk His report, as always, presents his findings with the right perspective. My take: The good news: Diacetyl is identified in several eliquid formulations*. Industry will take note...

Just in from Carl Phillips. We've known it all along; now I hope everyone at FDA CTP reads this and learns from it! Predicting the black market in e-cigarettes | Anti-THR Lies and related topics

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) has finally introduced what she calls the "SMOKE Act," that she much touted by press release and press conference last week*. Here's (yet another) press release from her office after she dropped the bill into the House hopper: Congresswomen Speier Introduces SMOKE...

I came across this yesterday, from the US General Accountability Office (formerly General Accounting Office, aka "the government's watchdog"). It's a fairly long read, but useful in understanding the Center for Tobacco Products and how a huge bureaucracy (FDA) goes about setting up a new...

Yesterday afternoon, the docket summary (Regulations.gov) on the FDA proposed rule showed 50,000+ comments received. When I checked just now, it shows 31,096. So ca. 20,000 have disappeared, without explanation that I can find. Was some glitch responsible for the 50k count, or have 20k been...

He's posted an article on his blog about "the effects of e-cigarette use on exhaled nitric acid." (Don't bother googling nitric acid yet. Read on.) Both Dr. Farsalinos and Tom Pruen (ECITA blog) have already posted rebuttals. Effects of e-cigarette use on exhaled nitric oxide More of the same...

I've had no doubt it would eventually come to this... From the Good Doctor's blog: CASAA White Paper: Guide to Civil Disobedience | Anti-THR Lies and related topics

Just found this in a Boston Globe article: FDA e-cigarette plan brings complaints from both sides - Metro - The Boston Globe This is the first time I, at least, have seen this confirmed by someone from FDA. It seems to me that all that's required to continue in-store sampling is to charge for...

...with a link to the new "FDA Regulations" forum. I think this is important enough for a banner announcement.

Another gem from Sullum's Hit & Run blog on Reason.com: CDC Director Says Switching From Smoking to Vaping Is a 'Misconception' - Hit & Run : Reason.com Doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, but he makes some good points, and do read the comments. Some of them are truly hysterical...
