The FDA really wants nothing to do with any of this - They are being forced into it - Political Hot Potato has been dropped in their lap - Most of the guys at the FDA are truly devoted to protecting the health of the public - That's why they took the job - As a matter of fact I would not be surprised to see the FDA finally green light e-cigs just as a way to say F-U to the politicians and their tobacco-Company-Sugar-Daddys who dropped this on them -
That would be nice but don't hold your breath. Our government loves control and regulation. From my understanding a secondary institution will handle tobacco products so that in itself kind of takes the heat off the FDA and its original intended purpose.
