Will FDA Regulation Preserve Or Destroy The E-Cigarette Industry? - Forbes
Our Smokey Joe is interviewed.... and Dr. Siegel's statements included:
To avoid that burden and keep their products legal, e-cigarette companies will have to eschew any statements, no matter how accurate, that the FDA might interpret as implying a health advantage. “An electronic cigarette company cannot even inform consumers that the product does not produce smoke,” writes Siegel, “because such a claim would be considered a ‘reduced exposure’ claim.” Likewise claims that e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco or do not generate “tar.” For companies dealing with the FDA’s censors, truth is no defense.
