I think when enlightening people about the Final Rule and when contacting our representatives it might be worth adding this...

During the time the current regulations were being drafted, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg allegedly used the agency to get a dangerous drug approved, even though it had serious and sometimes deadly side effects, to generate millions of dollars in illegal drug company profits for her husband’s hedge fund company.

An interesting factoid, indeed, but I don't think it would help. We need to think like politicians - beat them at their own game, you know?

I was thinking it added a little umph to the point that the FDA is out of control.

Did anyone else watch VPLive Dr. Michael Siegel today? Dr. Siegel explained the FDA Deeming very clearly and precisely so that it's easy for anyone to understand exactly what it means. I think he answered about every question in this thread.

When it is put up online, EVERYONE, vaper or not, should watch it. I think even non-vapers would be absolutely astounded at what the FDA is doing. Please share it everywhere you can. I didn't catch where or when it is going up, (a bird flew in the window just when it was mentioned and I got distracted) but I'm sure someone will provide a link.

Dr. Siegel said one of the best things you can do is contact your Congressmen and Senators. Get typing!
Omg, nevermind I am all :confused:o_O......sorry, so confuzzled.

Heck, I thought we were just doing Senators.
I've got Rod Blagojevich, and Thompson, and the others.
I honestly think if I google, I could possibly get a flush, at least a full house. :laugh:

I moved away from IL before Blago went on his parade of corruption.

As for me, I was initially shocked, nay, revolted at the degree of outlandish overreach perpetrated by this bureaucracy. Then, I became angry; sooo verrry angry. This thread moved so fast the first several days, it was hard to keep up, and I had to take vape breaks and hunt for my Illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator.

Well, I never did find the Q-36 (I know its around here somewhere), but now I'm in full advocacy mode.

I know a lobbyist, who is very fond of his cigars. I emailed him the full text of the regs, and will see him on Wednesday or Thursday evening. Incidentally, he lobbies for children's health issues. I'd like to get his perspective on this whole issue, and see what insight he may be able to offer on how we fight this to the bitter end. Everyone write, write, write, and then write some more to your elected Reps, and most of all, educate them on the facts and science, because they likely know nothing of the true nature of vaping.

I'll share whatever insights he may be able to offer. Stay tuned...

Full pressure needs to be put on the Democratic Party. From the head of the DNC on down they have been pushing to kill Vaping and pressure on any Democrat who doesn't follow the Party policy against Vaping. So insure you really push any Democrat in your area to end their assault against Vaping.

Yes this is bizarre, traditionally it's been the GOP who have been in the pockets of Big Tobacco. Personally I believe it's more about the money they're loosing in tobacco tax's to be the main motivation. In any case we need to put a full court press on the Democratic party to end their assault against Vaping.

VG and PG are available anywhere without prescription that won't change.
From what I have read the FDA will not concern themselves with anything DIY
initially. I am not aware as of yet anything in the reg's specifically curtailing the
sale of nic-base. What i know the FDA did say is they are at this time not even
concerned with black market sales. While just referring to the cigarette black market
as a guide they do not expect the black market to exceed 10% of the total market.

However the FDA via the deeming regs also stated they reserve the right to change
or modify anything they deem necessary to effectively control and regulate tobacco
products. I suspect as long as DIY and or the Back market doesn't result in the
situation that occurred during prohibition they may just ignore the segments
under the guise of saying ,see we didn't ban e-cigs. Even in light of the fact there
will be little if any legitimate e- cig market left.

The bottom line is if the FDA deems it necessary to get rid of DIY and or the black market
they will. The process to effectively do this either are already in place or in the process
of coming on line.(think homeland security)
Regards
Mike

I don't think so. Just because a lawsuit has been filed doesn't mean that the person (or entity) is guilty of any malfeasance. Anybody can file a lawsuit (frivolous or otherwise) in this country--and they do. Even a settlement isn't an indication of guilt--people just don't want to go through the nightmare and cost of litigation.

I'm not defending Hamburg, BTW, I have no idea what she's guilty of or not, but a mere fact that she's being sued means nothing whatsoever.
