FDA to Protect Americans from "Defective" Cigarettes, But Not from "Normal" Deadly Cigarettes

[JColt]

Wow......

In a move that sounds more like a headline in the Onion than an act of a federal health protection agency, the FDA has announced that it is going to protect the public from the dangers of "defective" cigarettes.

This has to be one of Dr. Siegel's classics.

What would be an example of such a severe problem that it warrants reporting to the FDA? According to the medical branch chief in the Office of Science at FDA's Center for tobacco Products, such a severe problem would be something like if a cigarette "just smells or tastes wrong."

Dr. S's comment:

Perhaps the FDA Center for tobacco Products' slogan should be: "CTP: Protecting the Public from Cigarettes that Smell Wrong."

What one out of a few million is defective...let's lock down all the Li Ion's in EVERYTHING else shall we

Stupid people throwing everything at the wall they can to see what sticks...
Stupid because ignorance can be fixed by education, stupidity is being ignorant, NOT caring to learn, and acting anyway)

And it appears that they are going after the stuff in the juice not the batteries...but give em time...they will...

Now that I've stopped laughing at the CTP's new "slogan," I'll say this is another good example of bureaucrats formulating a policy/procedure before they understand the product. And I have to ask myself yet again, do they have *any* idea how idiotic they sound?!

Probably an FDA attack on RYO/MYO and Native American reservation cigs - the American Spirit, Blackhawk, Seneca and herbal and clove brands...... and others.
