FDA considering ban on flavored e-cigarettes

[zoiDman]

I still can't get over that the FDA is upset that teens are vaping rather than smoking, they don't get it!

I Don't think that Teen Smokers who have/are switching to vaping is the Percentile that has the FDA all Riled Up.

I think it is Teens who would Never Smoke and are now vaping is what many have their eyes on.

Well it would be nice if they released the numbers and not a percentage then, wouldn't it?

If they're so riled up, I'd like a number and also the number of teens who did not start smoking, too.

If they have so nothing to hide.

Why am I Not Surprised by this?

Because 20 Million can buy you a LOT of Smear and FUD.

Wow, that was a slanted article.

Wow, that was a slanted article.

Which is why I seldom watch the news or read newspapers.

Wow, that was a slanted article.

And replete with lies.

The research is meant to inform state and national policy around tobacco control, which has become newly complicated in recent years with the introduction of products marketed as “low-risk” compared with traditional cigarettes. That claim, say public health experts, is not backed by science.

Please show us a single product that has had an MRTP approved and can be marketed in the manner this article insinuates.

Certain e-cigarettes, including San Francisco’s Juul vaporizers, contain flavored nicotine to make the tobacco more palatable.

There is no tobacco in a Juul. How can something that is not in there be made more palatable?

The new grants are really built around developing a modern understanding of these products and how they compare with cigarettes,” said Stanton Glantz

Why am I not surprised at seeing his name. How can that man still show his face in public with all the scandals that surround him?

I don't care if Gottleib said closed systems or not.

I never care about whatever he says, don't let him make me paranoia.

This is being posted repeatedly on Twitter.

Actually that report wasn't inflammatory to me at all which is a pleasant surprise. I still think the FDA is missing the mark going after the companies rather than the retailers.
