FDA Date of the Deeming?

[Jman8]

Just looking for a little informal pool on what date you think the deeming will be finalized/made available to the public.

I think they're only about a year late right now, but that's great news. So, a possible answer to this pool is - it will never be finalized. One can only hope.

Just post a date you think it will happen on, and hopefully people will respond by say Jan. 17. Let's hope it doesn't happen before that.

I have no idea, but I'm kind of thinking it will be after March election stuff. Not that I think the FDA cares, but I do think they take orders from on high.

So, I'll go with April 26, 2016 as the date the final deeming will be made available to the public.

How about "when hell freezes over"? That would be my CHOICE of when it happens.

Not a fun thread in the least, but I suspect it will be before March.

While I wish it was never, I'm going to say February 1.

After it leaves OMB(OIRA) if nothing is changed, it goes to Federal Registry, then 90 days before it becomes in effect. 06/22/16

I agree, and I predict the fallout will be so catostrophic to world health, that the deeming will eventually replace Chernobyl every year in those 'This Day in History' segments in the media.

I thought that they would have used the holiday break for the long awaited release.
My next best guess would be in the end of May to coincide with the summer break.
I am not sure they can wait that long.

And if our next president is of the other political party he will rescind Deeming? NOT.
We have the best government that money can buy.
And therein lies the problem.

A republican president with a republican congress could do what ever they want. Republicans generally claim they favor smaller government and lower taxes. Treating ecigs with a light touch would be consistent with that. If untaxed ecigs replaced tobacco it would be a huge tax reduction that mostly falls on the States, not the feds.

My guess is mid year. I didn't realize there was a mandated 90 day grace period. If the rules are draconian that will be a frantic time in the vape market. My calculation is everything vape specific for 10 years shouldn't cost more than $500.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Less taxes and regulation for who though?
I don't live on Main Street nor Wall Street and those were the only 2 streets that politicians seemed to think people live on.

I will offer three predictions...

1) Never
2) In the next three days
4) June 17th

1) Never

I hope this prediction is true. So far it is!

I don't know what the question is.

Are you asking what date an announcement will be made?

 

[Jman8]

Asking for you to provide a date that matches when the FDA will officially deem eCigs a tobacco product and make that (official announcement) known to the general public.

Well I don't think they will successfully be able to deem 'ecigs' as tobacco products.
Maybe they can successfully deem nicotine and nicotine containing liquids as tobacco products, and maybe they can even get so far as to deem cigalikes containing 1% nicotine containing liquids as tobacco products.

So 'never' would be part of my answer.

Here's to hoping that OIRA does their job correctly and send this stinking pile of manure back to the FDA for rework on the economic impact, we get a pro-vaping President, and it dies on some bureaucrat's desk.

I love your never answer. I truly do.

But your response reminds me of how I view the causation aspect between smoking and harm. Truly the connection has NEVER been made. But allegedly and for practical purpose it has.

Since you are arguing via a technicality and on principle, I have no argument other than what I stated above. One wonders if FDA has ever been successful.

Nicely said. One wonders if ANY government regulatory agency has ever been truly successful....
