LOL! I just signed on to post this myself. Guess we were listening to the same thing tonight. The woman in that video is seriously annoying. Though I have to say that the one informative thing I got out of the webinar is the following email askctp@fda.hhs.gov. With all of the ambiguity surrounding the proposed rule with respect to vaping I kind of just want to email them and try to get some solid answers about components and parts vs. accessories. I also think it gives me a better sense of how I should go about writing up my comment.

Thanks. Watching it as I type. Ditto on the womens VERY VERY annoying voice.

I watched the webinar in real time. A very disappointing "disinfomercial" IMO. Nothing new; how could they expect to offer even a cursory overview of 240+ pages in 45 mins? And they definitely need a different, more professional presenter (Take voice lessons, Ms. Voss, and for heaven's sake, STOP SMIRKING!).

My comment immediately after it ended: I felt like I'd just sat through a 6th grade civics class.

I think what got me most was how smug they came across, as if what the FDA is doing is actually good for people, when in reality they're harming those they're supposed to protect...

Neither of them were very polished speakers, so I'm forced to conclude that they presented as they actually felt: Smug (=arrogant and complacent).

(A new word just popped into my head which I think applies here: Smugugly.)

It's like, Juilie and randy from valley girl got jobs as an FDA spokes person.
That movie just kept flashing through my head the whole time.
