CASAA Applauds Electronic Cigarette Ruling
The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA)[/URL] applauded the recent ruling of U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon in the case of Smoking Everywhere v. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)[/URL]. The group advocates providing consumers with affordable and effective alternatives to tobacco smoking, including electronic cigarettes.

Leon granted the injunction sought by the plaintiffs, Smoking Everywhere and njoy (d.b.a. Soterra), to release shipments of electronic cigarettes that had been seized by FDA as "unapproved drug-delivery devices." The injunction prohibits FDA from seizing future shipments as well. (1)[/URL]

"Judge Leon's decision that reduced risk tobacco products, such as electronic cigarettes, are not drug delivery devices and should not be placed under FDA jurisdiction as such is a step in the right direction," stated CASAA president Michal Douglas. "The process of approving new drugs is prohibitive and would leave millions of electronic cigarette users at risk."....

As a start up Personal Nicotine Vaporizer business I'm dealing with the FDA on seizing my shipments. When I pointed out the recent Federal Court Ruling they responded that the ruling only applies to Smoking Everywhere and Njoy products. All others are free game. FDA approved drugs kill over 100,000 people a year so it sems they are merely maintaining their interest in protecting the public from getting healthy alternatives to smoking and keeping their fiduciary relationship to Big Drug, Big Tobacco, and Big Government intact.
