But if people are already inhaling nicotine in nicotine inhalers, what's their beef, other than the pharmaceutical companies not getting their cut?"But I don't think studies are necessary when all the things in e-cigs are things that have been used in other products for years. I"
Well i mean, I think it also matters how you are using those products. Something can be safe to be used on your skin, but not to be swallowed. Something can be safe to be swallowed but maybe not inhaled. I think the real question is what are the effects when you take whatever substances that are in E-cigs, all of them, heat them up to a vapor and in hale them in a concentrated stream of vapor for X amount of time.
Its really hard to say well they should outlaw cigarettes. Cigs have been around a long time, and the tobacco companies still have a lot of money, even though they are losing recent battles. The e-cigs have not been established yet, so its easier to outlaw them. Plus they have an easy reason to give to ban them whatever the real reason is. But even so. make believe the FDA was a righteous group. If they follow the law, they still cant approve them because nicotine is a drug. and the device has never been tested here at all. But if that is the case, shouldnt they be banning the nicotine, not the device? If i wanted to buy an E-cig with 0 nicotine, why would that fall under their juristicion?

I don't know if I could ever live in a parallel universe where I could make believe the FDA was a righteous group.
