That is a Silver Lining.
Albeit, a Tarnished, Silver Plated one.
Yep, once the gov't establishes a cash cow it pretty much cements it in place.Look at the bright side: A regulatory bureaucracy is unlikely to try to kill the industry that feeds it.

If you can't beat them, join them?
They wont get a penny from me........
I just fear they will make it just as expensive as smoking for the poor folks not yet prepared, or who haven't even discovered this solution yet.
tobacco Stocks Lower After New Acting FDA Commissioner Is Named
Dr. Norman E. Sharpless was named as the acting commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday and his appointment caused a move lower in tobacco stocks. Sharpless comes from the National Cancer Institute, where he was sworn in as the 15th director of the institute in late 2017. Sharpless' interim appointment could result in adversarial legislation for cancer-causing products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes. ...

National Cancer Chief, Ned Sharpless, Named F.DA.’s Acting Commissioner
"Dr. Gottlieb’s boldest action has been his crackdown on youth vaping, for which he blamed the e-cigarette industry. Dr. Sharpless has already signaled support for the move."
"But it is unclear whether an acting commissioner would be able to press ahead on the more contentious fronts related to tobacco: the F.D.A.’s long-term proposals to reduce the level of nicotine in traditional cigarettes; tightening regulations on all e-cigarettes and other smoking alternatives; and pursuing a ban on menthol cigarettes. Many of the tougher restrictions face considerable opposition from Congress and the tobacco industry."

”...cancer-causing products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes”.
Statements like this is why we have an uphill climb.
Wish I gad 30 seconds with this writer. That’s all I would need. Maybe less.
Sometimes I wish I could forge the truth into a nail so I could hammer it into some of these thick skulls.
Well this kinda sucks although I will say I care more about availability than price. Oh I CARE about price and etc., I just think it's the best worst case scenario, if that makes any sense.

Send them feedback. I just did. Probably won't do any good, but there's an off-chance an editor will realize his writer is making a mistake.
I just wanted to ask Tony Owusu where he got the information that e-cigarettes cause cancer? It's either indefensibly lazy, or unsubstantiated editorializing for a "journalist" to conflate combustible tobacco products with e-cigarettes. Statements like that can deter millions from seeking actual harm reduction.
New "guidance" from the FDA today:
Statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., on advancing new policies aimed at preventing youth access to, and appeal of, flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and cigars
I haven't had a chance to read/digest this yet.

Here is the Modifications to Compliance Policy for Certain Deemed Tobacco Products Draft Guidance.

Not at "retail" (c-stores and gas stations) in any case. Plus it will get difficult everywhere in two years (after 8/8/2021) 'cause they've bumped up the PMTA deadline for "flavored" products by a year.
I do dislike that point about limiting the size of sales by online sites to purchasers. I'm also confused as to why no recognition is offered for all those online vendors we all had to jump through hoops for to make a purchase the last 2 1/2 years using those very verification methods implemented.
I haven't read the whole thing either. But reading this, something that hasn't occurred to me comes to mind:
FDA is proposing to end current compliance policy as it applies to flavored electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) products such as electronic cigarettes (other than tobacco-, mint-, and menthol-flavored products)
I wonder how they're going to deal with all of the tobacco flavors that have other flavors in them - RY series, nutty, etc. I mean, most of them don't have any part of tobacco in them anyway - it's only chemical reconstruction. Will it still be a tobacco flavor if you add AP, or sweeteners? Will pipe tobacco flavors be allowed? Tobacco with bourbon, etc. Arabic tobaccos with spices? Where will they draw the line?
