House Dems: Delay of e-cigarette regulation hurts kids

[FlamingoTutu]

This is a FWIW post and not quite as bad at the title indicates.

We aren't going to know what the FDA has decided until the end of the year?

Forgot the link.

Oh for heaven's sake, I am SO bloody tired of the "unscrupulous ecig manufacturers targeting our dear children" propaganda! Just soooo bloody tired.... Do these people even live in the same world as you and I?

The three lawmakers are the top Democrats on the Energy and Commerce Committee and its subcommittees on Oversight and Health. They say that e-cigarette companies have taken a page out of the cigarette industry’s playbook to target teenagers by sponsoring sports and music events and using celebrity spokespeople and cartoon images.

The only advertising techniques "pioneered by Big tobacco a generation ago" that I've seen, are being done by Big Tobacco hawking their overpriced, less than useful products.

 

[Petrodus]

BT advertizing is responsible for countless smokers converting to vaping
by forcing ecigs into the the mainstream.

I'm not defending BT and the issues we have with them.

 

[Mrs C]

That's true but it's they who are doing that adverting that the media accepts the advert $ from then turn's their head and cries " about said advert's targeting the children. A case of having the cake and eating too,

 

[Petrodus]

Today ... "The Business of E-cigarettes" is driving the market.
Follow the Money now applies to ecigs.

Excuse me, but GSK is the company marketing to kids. Look at the Kid Friendly Flavors of Nicorette gum and lozenges...Cinammon Surge, Fruit Chill, etc. And how about that TV ad that shows a miniature band magically appearing on the console singing, "I just want to celebrate" when the driver pops a piece of gum instead of lighting up. Kids love little people.

True ...
However, those opposed to ecigs don't care about
and refused to discuss ... such "common sense" comparisons.

Heh.

Headline: "House Dems: Delay of e-cigarette regulation hurts kids"
And in other news: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. Period."

That's not even mentioning BP's all out assault to convince us that we can't survive without their products to cure all our ills. ONCE UPON A TIME you'd go to doctor's, they'd examine you and find out what was ailing you. They'd prescribe medicine to treat what ailed you. TODAY, the Pharma industry sells you on the idea that they have the cure that will make you whole again (if they don't kill you with one of the side effects).

I wonder if the vapers who voted for these clowns (who happen to be all on one side of the aisle, federally) are starting to take off the "rose colored glasses". Probably not.

Well, there's Dorothy, thats 1

her house was blown away by a horrendous vapour cloud IIRC, and she got to meet a wizard of Glantz and some other fantasyland characters, although she was not a kid as such, but definately under the age to smoke stinkies or vape in New York.

 

[CanIPlayWithMadness]

I love it how the Dem's play the "It's going to hurt the children" bull.

 

[BackDoc]

They have always dangeled the children as pawns , they could give a darn about the children , only their own hide

But definately over the age for Big Pharma to 'care' for her wellbeing.

No. They are our version of 'the aristocracy' - protected from all real life experiences.

And if anyone thinks that Henry Waxman is 'in the pocket of Big Tobacco', they are under a serious delusion. This is pure 'we know what's best for you' Big Government liberalism. It really couldn't get much clearer.
