American Council on Science and Health Challenges FDA to support Tobacco Harm Reduction

[Vocalek]

ACSH to FDA: Don’t dismiss a useful smoking cessation product > Facts & Fears > ACSH

Marvelous, but one thing is unbelievable! One of the signatories to the full letter, Dr. Heath, is even from the American Cancer Society! Can you imagine the consternation his refusal to toe the line must be causing?

I like this, it very politely asks why does the FDA and the alphabet organizations want to continue to kill those of us who have found a way to at least reduce our self inflicted health problems.
.........Follow the money and the reason becomes obvious.

Great challenge! The only problem I see is that ACSH presented e-cigs as a cessation product rather than just a reduced harm tobacco product. Doesn't that wording point back to square one?

I bet Dr. Heath is sitting alone in the cafeteria these days

Hopefully, if we keep burying them with facts (which I know they dislike) they will finally have to concur that we've found a healthier alternative to smoking and they will have to back down.

I wonder, until there is a 60-Minutes / Dateline style expose, how many people will even know this is going on?

Not many.

But I can tell you this much...
Everybody that I know has been thoroughly informed.


The following are four-letter words in my house...
--American Cancer Society
--American Lung Association
--Campaign for tobacco Free Kids
--Americans for Non-smokers Rights
--Stanton Glantz
--FDA

By the way, these are probably the best pieces I've seen so far...

Great news and info. Thank you Vocalek and DC2. It is up to all of us to spread this info. The Vapeteam episode #25 video which can be found on youtube should also be added to everyones folder. The doctor interviewed by the Vapeteam conducted tests on smokers and vapers and backs up much of what many of us know or sense and the thrust of all the articles mentioned on this thread. Perhaps big money will not prevail for once.
