I think you said/thought that his show has a long lead time. I can't imagine him not jumping at that topic.If the profits were sent to CASAA maybe Oliver would make an exception.
I mean it's a satirical gift.
Your letter was AWESOME, by the way!!

They are not killing off the industry the want so badly to tax.
They are handing it over to Big Tobacco and making it MUCH easier to tax.
I am not disagreeing with you guys as i hope you are right and i am wrong. There is one glaring problemThis is all I can think of. Or... BT seriously believes the days of combustible tobacco are truly numbered hence the desire to control the entire vaping industry. First step of course is to make sure there's an industry to dominate.
When you think about it... what other market can BT transition to? There's only so much you can do with a tobacco leaf.
We can see a disconnect. The FDA doesn't have too. They wrote the regs.Again, there is a disconnect between the literal interpretation of what the FDA said it can do, and what it actually CAN do.

Wow! Graceful! Another thing we have in common! On the 2nd I almost knocked myself out stepping out of a big metal roll off. I was distracted, in a rush and forgot about the metal bar the goes across where the gates attach. I was looking down, so I slammed the very top of my head into the bar. I hit it hard enough to knock me onto my back in a pool of rusty water. My hair was soaked and it took me a few seconds to figure out it wasn't blood. I ended up with a large bump on my head and a dark bruise on my arm from the elbow to the wrist. I'm fine now.
If you're ever in my neck of the woods we should go dancing.



But we were talking about why Big Tobacco would support the Cole-Bishop amendment.
If the Cole-Bishop amendment passes nothing has to go through the PMTA process.
That's why I didn't understand what applications you were referring to.

How much are the application fees?
We've been focusing on the PMTAs and I haven't heard much about application fees.
Except the money they can use for tax right offs.and all that money goes down the drain.

Five years down the road if the deeming regs are not altered BT will have a small niche market
of cigalikes giving them a life time of tax right offs. Enough people will have returned to smoking to stabilize the taxation and profitability to the market. BP will be introducing their advanced NRT
devices that will look awfully similar to what our open systems are now but,somehow work so much better and,priced at the appropriate price point. Your insurance premium will be higher than a smoker if you choose to use these cessation devises.

In 2013, cigarette and smokeless tobacco companies spent nearly $9.5 billion on advertising and promotional expenses in the United States alone.

That's why they would support it.
Guess you missed the rest of my post....
If Cole/Bishop passes then the tobacco companies wouldn't have to submit PMTAs for the products they now have. Everything existing in present time is grandfathered. If it doesn't pass, then they would have to submit applications for their products (PMTA). Which would be many millions of dollars AND the FDA may reject the applications (as they have done against tobacco companies in the past) and all that money goes down the drain.
Feel like signing some more?

Not to worry. I made the same mistake even though I'm perfect! /lol
It's USER FEES and if you play in the FDA sandbox you WILL pay. Most everyone misses this point and that includes nearly all the experts ha! but you can't trump collective wisdom as in this thread. Period!

Im sure they are, losing the US market is no laughing matter. But if they have international sales and if thats enough to sustain thier lively hood, then there is some light for them.Yet Johnson Creek, who just invested in another Updated Facility is Highly concerned![]()

The biggest drawback is that in order to implement it, I expect I'd have to sign up as a "vendor" on ECF.![]()
