A couple of corrections...
Vendors publish lab results and ingredients of their products publicly, a majority of which use only FDA approved food additives for the flavoring.
Actually, not that many of the vendors test their products and publish lab results.
This has actually been a topic of hot debate here in the last few weeks.
Right now there is pending litigation against the e-cigarette manufacturer by the FDA attempting to ban them.
The pending litigation was filed against the FDA, not by the FDA.
That litigation is to try and get the FDA to stop seizing shipments of electronic cigarette products.
Not a big deal, but I just wanted to clarify that.
Or perhaps health care companies will step in and champion the e-cigarette cause, seeing hundreds of millions, or even billions in savings on
tobacco related illnesses.
I'm not sure what you mean by health care companies, but I hope you don't mean Big Pharmacy.
They are the last ones we want involved, because then electronic cigarettes would be treated like a drug delivery
device.
This means they would be removed from the market until extensive testing is done.
And when/if they come back as FDA approved, they would be nothing like what we have now.
They would probably be in tamper proof cartridges only.
And they would probably have far less nicotine.
And they would be much more expensive.
And, in reality, they are the primary impetus behind the drive to stop electronic cigarettes.
They are the ones who are funding the folks like AMA, ALA, ACS, and all the other stop smoking organizations.
And it is those organizations that are pushing for bans in every state, and urging the FDA to stop them before they get here.
