Electronic Cigarette Maker Agrees to Stop Marketing to Minors

[Zeroi]

I think this is good in some ways, Vaporizer is definitely not marketing like a Medical product but an adult leisure product.

Were they actually, actively marketing to minors? I wasn't aware that any e-cig manufacturer was doing that. I don't recall seeing ads on Nickelodeon or anything like that (LOL). But at least they are making a clear statement that they don't market to kids and that e-cigs are intended for adults only.

If you read through the entire settlement agreement authored by Governor Moonbeam Brown, you will see the the majority of the concessions being demanded were never occurring in the first place.

I'm willing to sign an agreement swearing that I will refrain from levitating.

It's good to know that Mommy government is there keeping me safe!

I don't see anything about settlements to the victim(s). I mean, the government walked in and forced this group of people to do things differently. Surely someone was HARMED by the things this article cites. Right? Right?

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, found that some electronic cigarettes contain a variety of dangerous chemicals, including nicotine, carcinogens such as nitrosamines, and one brand also contained diethylene glycol, commonly known as antifreeze."

wow, that statement is so misleading that it isn't even funny. first of all, OF COURSE nicotine is in the cartridges, that's why we use them. if they didn't contain nicotine, you might as well call them "flavor inhalers". and diethylene glycol is not commonly known as antifreeze, it's an ingredient in forms of antifreeze. that would be like saying "they contain water, commonly known as liquid explosives".

and of course, again, they fail to offer that the levels of nitrosamines found are comparable to the levels found in FDA-approved NRTs.

same ol' same ol', i guess

Well, i truely agree with u on that Statement, they are using one stick to beat all people without wanting to know which are the good guys
They are the Government but you People in America, u all have to Stand up Strong(i think u all have), go all out with the FDA, Challenge them.
I remember i saw an article stating that FDA have lose many Ban for the e-Cig and even the Court stop the FDA from accusing this and that. So i believe that you all are the best.

We in Singapore, anything start from Fine. so people are so afraid to step Forward.

The FDA will find GOLD in e-liquid if Big Pharma tells them too. We used to think it was Big tobacco, but when you do a little home work you will find Mr. Johnson behind every FDA rock.

I wanted to bash my head against the keyboard after seeing that paragraph, but the next one is just as bad:

"Some e-cigarettes come in strawberry, chocolate, mint, banana and cookies-and-cream flavors designed to appeal to a young audience."

I'm 28, so I guess I'm in that young audience.... cookies-and-cream sounds pretty good, me must go get some.

In the settlement:

"- Sell flavored electronic cigarette cartridges such as strawberry, mint or bubblegum that could appeal to minors."

COULD appeal to minors? Anything COULD appeal to minors, what about ME the tax paying adult that doesn't like tobacco flavor? Am I not allowed to like cookies-and-cream?

How about we make this settlement with Ben and Jerry's:

"- Sell flavored ice cream such as strawberry, mint or bubblegum that could appeal to minors."

After all, we do have a problem with fat kids.

"- Claim that its products are safer than cigarettes or contain no tobacco, tar or carcinogens, and produce no second-hand smoke unless there is competent reliable scientific evidence to support the claims."

So they can still do this as there are NUMEROUS studies that show they contain no tobacco (look at the bottle, do you see any leaves in there?), tar or carcinogens... oh, and seeing as there is NO COMBUSTION, they don't produce smoke.

That whole site is nothing but a buttkiss to the tobacco industry. Seems like they go out of their way to find anything negative about ecigs. Look at the list of articles. Nearly every one is anti-ecig.

I'd like to know who is behind that site. My bet is a cigarette trade group or other BT lackey organization.

They have been around for many years, I don't like tobacco now but i still reading up their post to see what they are posting up.
