"

Just yesterday Mitch Zeller, the director of the Center for tobacco Products, addressed the interest in electronic cigarettes during a FDA-hosted webinar. He acknowledged that there’s “a continuum of risk for nicotine delivery products” and that the agency is “asking questions of the research community to try to get answers” about how electronic cigarettes are affecting public health. But Zeller would only give an admittedly bureaucratic “no comment” response when asked how or when the FDA might choose to regulate the segment."

Why should the FDA hurry while State and local municipalities are doing their job?

I don't know if you noticed, but most of the public aren't buying that bs. I read through the comments on at least 2 news sites and they all unanimously supported "vaping". Just wanted to start the morning with an optimistic message.

Awwww, look at all the good little cities, one x one, following big Pharmas guideline to a healthier grant. Their parent states must feel so proud.

....the agency is “asking questions of the research community to try to get answers”

God forbid they should actually ask the people who are using these products....

They can't, we're just anecdotes.

There are many inaccurate statements in this CSPNet article about different state e-cig laws.

Bill, did Zeller ever respond to or comment on all the tweets calling for consumer representation on the advisory committee?
