I have a few minutes left on my lunch break so here's a little mash-up and commentary. FWIW.
How can anyone take the Federal Dumbass Assembly seriously when they spew such unfounded garbage as:
"They also have warned that e-cigarettes contain dangerous chemicals and are being marketed to children."
Yes, their one sample from one supplier had trace amounts. Hardly a proven study. Which further questions this next statement below (I'll comment on the children later);
"American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown also voiced concern over the ruling.
"There is no scientific evidence that e-cigarettes are effective smoking cessation devices and, until they undergo rigorous evaluation by the Food and Drug Administration, they should be pulled from the marketplace," she said in a statement."
So, no problems stating e-cigs in general contain toxic chemicals based off one sample but we'll just ignore the tens of thousands of people reporting about successfully quitting analogs on forums such as ECF and many others. Right.There's no agenda.
Now, the industry has grown from the thousands in 2006 to several million worldwide, with estimated 20,000 to 30,000 new e-smokers every week, according to Jason Healy, the president of e-cigarette maker Blu Cigs.
The FDA thinks they can conduct a better "study" than this? Really? Really FDA.....Really?
Children. Yes, the children. What about the children??? Well, as a father of two I can simply answer that question this way; They are my children. Keep your dirty hands off of them. I'm looking at you, Government.
