”...cancer-causing products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes”.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.

Tobacco Stocks Lower After New Acting FDA Commissioner Is Named
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.”...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.
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.It Don't look good for Flavor Chasers.
I was wondering the same thing. Even NETS are made from cased tobacco.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?
Since taste is rather subjective, I would suppose that product names will be very important.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.
