    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    I had the good fortune of listening to Bill on tonight's CASAA meeting, and I see his position a little more clearly now... Earlier in this thread, I offered my opinion that the process of Regulation, Consolidation, and Taxation is likely inevitable and Chapter IX inclusion is merely a first...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    @Uma - for clarity, the page I linked to is an ANPRM (Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) - the FDA issues them pretty regularly to tell suppliers, retailers, and vendors what direction they are heading in... This way, vendors and suppliers can get compliant before the rules even pass...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    Bill wrote - If I am wrong, I am happy to be corrected. But inaccurately quoting me and dismissing my comment doesn't really serve... You see, I think it is reasonable to forecast that "A Tobacco Product" will be regulated as "A Tobacco Product". The precedent has been set, and the first...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    I want to toss my two cents in here, and I hope I don't offend anyone too bad in doing so... First: Bill I love and respect what you do wholeheartedly... and I want to encourage and support you in anyway I can... Second: When picking a fight with a fast moving train the only solutions are: get...

    The Great American Smokeout Plus Obama's Message

    Awesome Post Tumbleweed! I went an commented straight away... Amidst the stories of how hard it is to quit, so many people talking about how easy it was to finally quit with an e-cig,it's just awesome! All my smoking friends ask me about it because as HHS said: "70% of people who smoke want...

    The Great American Smokeout Plus Obama's Message

    The FDA and HHS made a commitment to support R&D, provide grants, and fast track new Reduced Harm products... We've got big Pharma pushing suicide pills down our throats and Big Tobacco pushing 5000+ chems at us... The FDA is supposed to be here to protect us, if they fail that, they fail in...

    The Great American Smokeout Plus Obama's Message

    Well I attended the live meeting, and they ignored my ecig questions... Which is understandable, because there were at least 5 other people attending the live chat and a grand total of 7 questions (including mine) were asked, so it's easy to see how the e-cig topic could get missed in an...

    Any randomized clinical trials showing that e-cigs help smokers quit?

    The study Mastodon linked to above is probably the most often cited one right now... It's a really impressive study, because not only did they randomize with control and placebo, they also offered no guidance as to the use or protocols... Instead, they basically just gave people an a supply...

    Been Vaping for a little over a Week.... Hows My Starter Kit Look?

    Hi Peezy - if you like that first generation F1 style, you might want to check out the new 2nd Gen F1's that just got released last month... They look really slick to me, and they've created a new atomizer for the 2nd Generation... Here's a link to Scott's review: REVIEW OF THE ROK STAR...

    Harvard medical school adviser lies about health risks/benefits of e-cigarettes

    @DC2 - Of course my friend! I'm all about supporting CASAA in everyway I can... PM and we'll talk more... Now, to explain my last two posts: It's like this, "Diligence" - before contacting someone, we want to be as well armed for the confrontation as possible, right? The quickest, easiest...

    Can someone write to this guy and give him some facts?

    @DC2 - This thread was going earlier today: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/media-general-news/238362-harvard-medical-school-adviser-lies-about-health-risks-benefits-e-cigarettes.html I did a fair bit of research, and from I can tell - Dr. K is not the author and the article is falsely...

    Harvard medical school adviser lies about health risks/benefits of e-cigarettes

    After a little more digging - it seems that the Canton Rep article is a syndication feed, the article appears 12 hours earlier at GoErie.com: Dr. K: Not a whole lot is known about e-cigarettes | GoErie.com/Erie Times-News Now, what makes this even odder, is that article appears in several...

    Harvard medical school adviser lies about health risks/benefits of e-cigarettes

    @Bill - Something smells fishy here, and it ain't the Salmon e-liquid... This article is old. Like really old, the original was published in Detroit Free Press over 20 months ago... And is no longer even archived because they (Detroit Free Press) removed it... As it sits, I found 45...

    LIQUA... Have we found a loophole ?

    Just thought I'd toss of few of my cents into the discussion... First: Being this is a discussion on Legislation Circumvention, we need to really look at the roots of the laws we seek to bypass - Ie: What is the Legal definition of Tobacco? We likely are all well familiar with the...

    Obama's position on e-cigs ?

    @Rothenbj - It's great points you make, and I feel Like I want to clarify myself. My career is in Politics and Legislature, and I've got a 96% win rate across 23 pieces of legislation successfully passed. This is because I understand that in order to actually get things done, you need to...

    Future?

    Some days I drink decaf... Some days, I drink 5 cups of caffeinated. Some days I drink Roma (chickory) or tea. In my opinion, vaping creates these options for us in the nicotine sector. I mean, some days I have caffeinated coffee, and some days I don't but nearly everyday I drink a warm...
