I'll be there urging the TPSAC and the FDA to endorse and approve any MRTP application seeking to truthfully claim a smokeless tobacco product is less hazardous than cigarettes.

Bill, I'm so glad you'll be attending. I missed you at the last one. Looking forward to seeing your speech.

Alas, I will not be there. I only have so many vacation days.

Carbon monoxide detectors exist for a reason. Smoke= carbon monoxide snus doesn't. Why does red tape have to exist when common science slaps you in the face.

Thank you for doing this. I'm on the website now and quite honestly, it bores the crap out of me. I have no stamina for this. I am SO grateful that you do. I am looking forward to reading your summary and opinions.
