You seem to think you know something the rest of us don't know. Care to share?And now, a few words from the No, the Sky Isn't Falling gallery.
On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

Bingo.I can't imagine anyone can read the deeming regs and not recognize the FDA's intent for a de facto ban on vaping.
Even if I knew today that all of Deeming would take effect, all the devices available now are going to be available for 2 more years anyway. There's no need to be stockpiling now, especially on perishables. Devices only if the deal is stealer deeming or not.
I would only be Really Concerned right now if I lived in just a few of the nanny states that have zeroed in on Vaping. Thankfully, I don't.
My thoughts exactly. Each time I see the words "the sky's not falling", I cringe. It may not be falling but it is close. I don't think the regs can possibly stand as written but at this point we need all the help we can get to keep them from standing. Telling someone that has just heard about what is happening not to worry because everything is going to be alright doesn't seem to be the best route to be taking right now. They will read that and just go happily on their way thinking all is well. We need folks to know, unless we all do whatever we can to let the 'powers that be' know that we aren't going to accept this quietly then they will think we are OK with it.and should refrain from giving potentially erroneous advice to just remain calm cause everythings gonna be ok.
I fear the biggest risk to the "the sky's not falling" advice is for the more casual vapers who aren't as far down the rabbit hole getting a false sense everything is gonna be alright.

Bingo.
That would be against the law. The FDA can't do that. That is one of the main gists of the lawsuits and the House Committee request for info.
Good response Max.
As I've mentioned, the PMTA's have been in effect for 6 years now. The FDA has approved 1. Let me repeat that, One, in 6 years. The FDA's numbers are $330,000-$1,000,000 + per individual device, juice, flavor etc. There is no way Anyone could rationally argue or testify in court that wouldn't kill the industry.
Which, would be EXACTLY why the FDA Blew Off the House Committee request. No replay at all.
Even they know their position is indefensible.

Well there's the rub Bruce, with the FDA's deeming they have opened a pandoras box as of 8/8. Now all the states have the lawful right to tax,regulate and stigmatize vaping at will. we have no clue whats in store for us in just a few months not years.
And I live in New England the cradle of nanny state activism.
Not yet....be prepared....or not....I would only be Really Concerned right now if I lived in just a few of the nanny states that have zeroed in on Vaping. Thankfully, I don't.
Still, and well likely, it could take years to fully resolve. In the meantime the FDA and its Complicit accomplices are causing almost irreversible Damage to the Vaping industry and Public awareness of HARM REDUCTION!!!!
Here is a Thought........How many Manufacturers are going to continue to support a Stagnant(Frozen) US Market, while Advancing Technology for the rest of the World?
