[JColt]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is "pushing very hard" to release a proposed rule that would establish its authority over e-cigarettes, the head of the agency said on Thursday amid concerns the products pose a risk to children.

I wonder if any of the ANTZ got sore fingers making all those calls to the CDC.

They were never open. I saw the article right after it was posted yesterday and it said comments closed.

better stock up the freezer with nic base sooner rather than later

The FDA has been pushing very hard to ban e-cigs ever since 2009.

The tea leaves don't read well and those without a disaster plan and an exit strategy might get burnt. We've been seeing an inordinate amount of propaganda in the media the last couple months. I'm assuming that this is a lead up to a very unpleasant deeming regulation. Buckle your seat belts, the ride may get bumpy.

Is The FDA Being Compromised By Pharma Payments?

Chandrix = Pfizer
Zyban/Wellbutrin = GlaxoSmith Kline
Nicorette = GlaxoSmith Kline
NicoDerm CQ Pathches = GlaxoSmith Kline

Yes and next will be e-liquid sniffing drones coming to a neighborhood near you!

This dog and pony show is the biggest crock of crap I think I have ever seen, pushing these non-sensical headlines into the news like this.
I have never heard any reports of children being poisoned by lemon-scented dish washing detergent, but I'm sure it happens all the time.

The fix is CLEARLY in, and I continue to lose faith and trust in government in any capacity as each day passes. This is a clear and PATHETIC display of manipulation. DISGUSTING!

I also think Big tobacco lobbying is coming into play as well. They spend a ton in Washington. If they don't get e-cigs banned they want the monopoly of e-cigs though compliance to very costly regulations that small businesses can't afford to meet.

I love my country but hate my government?
