When I have more time I will map for you, definition to definition, but not right now. Even though, as I posted early on, it's in the title of the law:Then answer the question that you avoided instead of trying to dodge it with patronizing comments.
Show me the law that says distribution is required to be considered a tobacco manufacturer?
If you can't, then your entire argument collapses.....
Correct, your argument died right there because you can no longer support it since you contradicted your own statement.
That DIY is regulated, falls under roll-your-own.
And Bill's response, after I posted the facts, was also dodging...stating that he wasn't aware of the FDA going after anyone. That's a soft way of admitting that he misspoke and didn't see the law.
Deeming tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and tobacco Control Act; Restrictions on the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for Tobacco Products
However, again, in regards to this thread and what was being discussed prior to this side discussion, what is the point? If, as you say, DIY is manufacturing, do you believe people will stop doing it?
This thread is about devices, so let's discuss that. Bill's point was that the FDA has made product improvement, for existing and new products, nigh impossible. Nothing will get approved.
This drives people to find devices that will last(mechs) or possibly build their own mods. People don't even need to buy specific supplies for this. So, even if you're right, that the FDA considers building your own mod for personal use to be manufacturing, as you pointed how, how would they know? They will not be able to stop people doing DIY, whether they consider it manufacturing or not.
And, what does any of that have to do with class action lawsuits?
