E-cigarettes would save 11,700 lives a year!!

Fertilizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

tobacco derived from plants fertilzed by rock phosphates contains Polonium-210 which emits alpha radiation estimated to cause about 11,700 lung cancer deaths each year worldwide.

Note the polonium is in the tar, which is not present in e-cigarettes!!


So the question is can you sue the FDA for preventing access to a product which would improve their health and prevent many of them from dying?I think it is about time e-cigarettes started a class action against the FDA, let's pool all the money we save and get th best lawyers in the world to take them on in courts and sue the asses of them!!!!!!!!!!!

Again this is a great idea but, I don't think pooling our money for a lawyer is the answer. What we need is a lawyer who will work pro bono. There are likely several. can you imagine the media attention this would get?

This has been the argument against the FDA the whole time. Preventing smokers from a safer alternative. The sad part is that their own tests prove that the ecig is safer than burned tobacco, however, being the caste class our opinions, and obviously, our lives mean nothing.

If someone could get one of those good ambulance chasers with their own TV commercial ... just maybe.

Sorry, a class-action lawsuit against the FDA would not work...they have not blocked your ability to quit smoking - they've just blocked an untested, unregulated medical drug-delivery device....

By blocking this, they are looking out for the health of the public. If you choose to return to smoking, there is always the FDA approved NRT's to use if you are serious about quitting. (ok, ok, the options available DON'T work, but that's beside the point.)

Remember, the FDA is asking for an application and testing from the mfg's to prove safety and effacy..... granted, they want proof that this is as safe as mountain spring water before they will allow things (showing true bias against any harm-reduction thinking) to proceed, but the FDA is, in essence, correct in their actions. There WILL be regulation on our toys, like it or not, and until there IS regulation, the FDA will continue to block marketing, sales, distributions, and importations.

Hmm then I can see a real problem with such a ban, what exactly they banning? The atomiser?
You get those in maany things, bottles of perfume for example?

Anyway I see real problems implimenting any ban, because what is it they are banning?
The atomiser?
The Nicotine?
The battery?
The plastic tube?

As you know all those products are legal so any ban faces real legal problems, all can be sold seperately. Ban any one any you have problems.

If you ask me it would be impossible to enforce effectively, but the laywers would have a field day.
