I wonder if I just figured out what has got the fda panties in a bind. I was just reading in the forums and it hit me. The problem is that e cigs are an alternate for smoking but can be used as a quiting method if the user chose and in a much more controled way then any quit smoking product.
If the e cig stays it will not only reduce big tobacco profits but make all qiut smoking products obsolite. All that money that goes to research and programs will actually not be needed in the long run. so then they won't have an exuse for outragously high taxes that they lie about what it ges used for.
not to mention it will prove that the people do have control and lead to stronger movements on other issues. and because of how e cigs are spreading like wildfire I doubt they will win.
I would think that if the FDA was on our side they would say nothing about it bing a stop smoking product and just reg as tobacco. If it were to be reg as a drug sales and success would plumet. and aren't they supposed to be all about getting people off tobacco and/or making it safer.
one of the biggest reasons it works so well is because the people have control. If it were to get regulated as a drug you could probably kiss diy goodbye as well as anyhting that actually tastes good.
