Yeah... And I think Margaret Hamburg listened to this song everyday on her commute to work.
Yeah possibly. If nothing changes in the next two to three years, it will be Bt and probably a half dozen big vape companies in the market, each with a few products. We will go from over ten thousand different eliquids for example down to probably less than a hundred, most likely in a closed system only.
And Isn't that Exactly what BT wants? Limited Competition.
And if the Entire US e-Cigarette market falls on it's face, so what. People will just keep Smoking Cigarettes. Cigarettes made by... wait for it... Wait for it.... BT.
This Whole thing Reeks. And I don't know how Califf and Burwell can Sleep at Night.

So what if a lot of us posted the vid of the smoking beagles on FB and wherever with the quote about how some testing will have to be done on animals? Lots of animal lovers and they might not take kindly to the FDA's new regs that will increase animal testing. What do you all think?
Especially when you consider Robert Califf is a member of the Institute of Medicine. In March 2015, the IOM issued a report on the Public Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age of Legal Access to Tobacco Products.
There is only one statement regarding ecigs, "In addition, the rapidly changing landscape of tobacco products—for example, e-cigarettes— provides unknowns and could affect the future of tobacco Profits in ways that the committee was unable to anticipate due to lack of evidence."
Give people this great mission, protect the public health
BT wants what any other business wants. To make more money. Whatever strategy they think leads to more money, that's the route they will take.
Where's the video - I'll post it on FB
Are you ready for this, it is horrific? I can't find the vid atm but here are links to articles. I would put the quote from the FDA about animal studies in case they haven't heard about it.
Interesting read about the woman who worked in the lab and exposed the terrible, inhumane treatment.

Tobacco Companies Still Testing on Dogs
Thank you! Where is the quote from the FDA? This sickens me - I had NO IDEA they did this. I'm a HUGE dog lover (currently have 3) and this is appalling.
I have to go back and search this thread. I think Katya or Ocelot posted it.
Here is a vid from PETA, shows Oxycontin testing on a beagle more recently.
Yeah, yeah, I know. In an un-corrupted form an agency that screens products for known dangers, and explores potential dangers, especially in the realm of medicine, is not necessarily a bad thing.That's the first mistake....

FDA shares an interest in reducing the reliance on animal-based studies, and the Agency is committed to the three "Rs" of reduction, refinement, and replacement in animal testing. Although we are hopeful that in vitro assays and computer models can ultimately help to replace much of the need for animal testing, there are still many areas for which non-animal testing is not yet a scientifically valid and available option.

Beagles have been huffing PG for years (these are only a few studies).

If your ........ treatment doesn't actually treat ........, it shouldn't be on the market.
I don't trust businesses enough to believe they will be entirely scrupulous about such things.
Unfortunately/fortunately, I no longer trust government agencies either.

Dopamine | Psychology TodayWhat is Dopamine?
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Dopamine also helps regulate movement and emotional responses, and it enables us not only to see rewards, but to take action to move toward them. Dopamine deficiency results in Parkinson's Disease, and people with low dopamine activity may be more prone to addiction. The presence of a certain kind of dopamine receptor is also associated with sensation-seeking people, more commonly known as "risk takers."
