I see what you did there.
I almost can't wait until the CDC youth smoking report comes out after these idiots have destroyed the vaping industry, showing that cigarette use among youth is up 30%+ to pre-2013 levels.
Yep, that's saving the children, all right.
And in 90 days any NEW (to the market) piece of vape gear will be illegal contraband unless it has an approved PMTA, China is not exempt from this!
That is for "existing" products. I specifically stated "NEW" products, which are not allowed at all after August 10th unless they have an approved PMTA..The effective date of the regulations will be approximately August 10, 2016. Manufacturers will have two years from that date to submit PMTA's for every product (meaning every vaping device and every e-liquid) they wish to stay on the market. If the manufacturer submits a PMTA within this two-year period, it will be allowed to stay on the market for one additional year unless the FDA makes a decision on its application prior to that additional 12 months. If the application is not approved, the product must be taken off the market.
And they are preparing to do just that.That is for "existing" products. I specifically stated "NEW" products, which are not allowed at all after August 10th unless they have an approved PMTA..
"Tobacco products imported or offered for import into the United States must comply with all the applicable requirements"
My point being, that if they choose, they can (and have the ability to) start seizing stuff.
The American Lung Association does not contribute, they get contributed to.American Lung Association exists because of cigarettes. Now let's see how much these organizations contributed to the FDA and the campaigns of those who want these regs.

And here's the first attempt to remove it from the Appropriations bill--just posted by our friend @crxess in another thread. I give up.

"We are writing to express our strong opposition to two provisions in the House Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2017 that would significantly weaken the Food and Drug Administration’s authority over several tobacco products including e-cigarettes and cigars."
contact your senators
and representatives. The Cole-Bishop amendment now goes forward as part of an appropriations bill and will be voted on in the House of Representatives.
My, oh, my...
The FDA is seeking to get "User Fees" from over-the-counter (OTC) drug manufacturers to supplement underfunding. FDA Considers New User Fee Program for OTC Drugs | RAPS
Considering how large the OTC market is (I mean, come on, REALLY large), check this out:
"One of the biggest issues for FDA is a lack of staff working on OTC monographs. FDA currently has 18 full-time-employees devoted to overseeing the entire OTC market, which is the same number of employees it takes to review one novel prescription drug application."
I'll bet those PMTA are just going to be flying out the door!
I understand. It's so depressing. And the worst part of it is that they don't even know what thethey are signing. It's all knee-jerk, party-line, save-the-children crap.
Some bureaucrat probably called another bureaucrat and asked if they could add their signature to a letter that will protect America's youth.

Yeah, that was a given since it's in CASAA's call. The letter went out to Senate appropriations which means Senators need to be added to the list.

Kent, I agree. Unfortunately, the signatories to this are a lot of respected (not by me) organizations with heavy lobbyist arms.
That's what is so bad about this fight, we're going against organizations that are typically respected among the population (e.g. American Cancer Society) as well as in government. Most Americans do not smoke or vape, so they don't see it from our perspective.
What's worse is, when I tell non-vapers how corrupt the ACS is and how they shouldn't be supported, I sound like a conspiracy kooky-bird.
