I hope Fox follows through with an investigative report on how the FDA is acting in collusion with Big Pharm and anti smoking groups to keep thier little cash cow dripping the money milk.
It doesn't take much deep thought to follow the logic tree. Cigs are dangerous because of the burning leaf, nicotine is pleasurable (addictive) enough to keep people smoking in spite of the dangers, ecigs aren't smoke but deliver nicotine, since there is no smoke, they are less dangerous, so what difference does it make that we don't know exactly how much nicotine we are getting. Reduce the danger, users win. Who loses? The above mentioned groups. Who are the most vocal opponents of ecigs?? The people who made a profession out of bashing smokers, taxing cigarettes, and gouge people for ineffective cessesion stategies.
It's also insane that the FDA was given the mandate to regulate
tobacco but as a gift to Big
tobacco, they can't ban them.
I still would love to see someone investigate that test the FDA touts where they supposedly found DEG in 1 of 16 samples of a mass produced product, and why that one study has been sufficient to cast a shadow on the entire industry. It hasnt been repeated under scientific scrutiny, yet other studies that show that ecigs are 99% safer are ignored.
There is collusion here. Collusion is a crime, and these people who are doing this are abusing thier power. That's a huge story to be pursued, IMHO.
I think if we were to push the collusion angle more, we can win this thing.
