"When nicotine binds to receptors in the brain, it releases dopamine, a primary neurotransmitter. Dopamine plays an important role in modulating attention, concentration, appetite suppression, and movement. Dopamine’s effects on movement could explain why nicotine has shown some promise in ameliorating a disorder like Parkinson’s disease in primates. In humans, in fact, large epidemiological series have found lower levels of the Parkinson’s in older smokers. Also, patients with early stages of Alzheimer’s disease show some improvement with nicotine when delivered via a patch."

Yep when delivered with a patch and without inhaling lots of other flavorings and PG/VG to get the nicotine.
That is the medical establishments viewpoint on this.

The FDA is not required to answer Senator Johnson and I think he is aware of this.

I'm pretty sure he's aware of that, Mr. Cromwell. He has not yet filed any sort of formalized demand. The two letters were requesting their attendance at his party.

Here it is in a nutshell as far as I'm concerned. Let's say vaping was proved to kill me in 5 years. I would be thankful for the heads up. But at the end of the day, it should be MY CHOICE. I have seen our freedom of choice fading year by year. Here is the kicker and we all know this. Our freedom of choice can be restored if the price is right. Absolutely disgusting. Speaking of the FDA. Has anyone heard about the blood clot filter that was approved? No doubt this approval was bought and paid for.

Last time I was in Detroit no one was there. :)

Loss of 61% of the population, since the 50's.

As of summer 2014, Detroit’s population was at 680,250 which was down 6,424 residents from the previous summer. Detroit saw an average drop of 24,000 each year through the 2000′s.

No, the FDA is Not. But they are Obligated if the Oversight Committee issues a Subpoena for Information and or Testimony. So it get's down to who is going to Blink First.

And who is going to be sitting in what Seats after November.

There's studies on smokers vs. non-smokers that show the same improvement, but of course, medical establishments won't advocate smoking :- )

One doesn't simply ignore a subpoena from the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Lol. You gotta get out at night...
It was lunch hour on a weekday just across from the General Motors building. The place was either working through lunch or no one gets hungry there. Downtown Detroit and you didn't need to look both ways when you crossed the street.

Actually, that was probably 10 - 12 years ago. I suspect it is a little livelier now. But then Detroit lost nearly 2/3rds of their population since the 60's.

EDIT: I see Kent gave the exact numbers earlier on this page.

I really hope that subpoenas are issued. I also hope that Congress makes him the fall guy. (wishful thinking)
