FDA extends feeback period for Flavor ANPRM

[ScottP]

So by now everyone knows that the FDA announced an Advance Notice of Proposed Rule Making (ANPRM) in March 2018 and began the open comment period which was supposed to end in June. Well now it seems they have extended the commenting period from June to July 19, 2018. That doesn't really mean much. It just delays everything by a month.

Is this good news or bad news? I have no idea. I just figured others might like to know.

That is good to know - thanks..

And you never know it could be an opportunity to be optimistic.. I'll stay optimistic anyway until the fat lady sings...

Maybe this will further our chance to be heard.

I don't know what it means either and I'm hoping it has NOTHING to do with SF. I will say, I think the current administration DOES pay attention to what happens in the states/townships to see where they can go. I hope I'm not being morbid, and I will comment, thanks for the link @ScottP .

I commented. Here is what I wrote.
Comment:Thought experiment. If grownups vaped with no flavor and no nicotine kids would still be interested. If grownups vaped with flavors and nicotine, but with no visible vapor, the kids would not be interested. "It's the clouds bro'"; If flavor mattered kids wouldn't smoke. Cigarettes taste awful.

If a kid says he vaped in the past 30 days the survey should follow up by asking if he posesses his own ecig. Most of the time he will say no, he tried a friend's device. Then go ask the kid who owns the device how he got it and most of the time he will say his parents helped him.

I mix my own e liquid and use 1/10th or less of the flavoring commonly used. It is so little I never tire of the flavor and don't need flavor variety.

I remember my first puff on a cigarette oh so many years ago. I was watching a companion. I wasn't interested until he made a smoke ring. Then I had to give it a try. It's-the-clouds-bro.
