From my understanding, Linc (the one doing the "We Are Vapers" documentary and who also spoke today) was given permission to record this meeting and he told CASAA would be given a copy or link to put on our site.

OK... I am just joining now, and I don't know who is the speaker, but FINALLY we have an adult level, scientific presentation. Not to knock anyone before, but the morning session was more in the 'political posturing' category.
Why do they keep talking hypothetically and at the level of a grade school student "what if... say this were to happen... but what if"... Who is on this panel, especially the woman who keeps asking about "dual use". What is the level of their knowledge and interest in the matter?
Watching myself. I Cant help but wonder how many on this panel ever smoked, or smoked and tried to quit.
It's not surprising. E-cigarette advocates have only been around for 3 years and learning as we go. We are lucky to have the THR experts on our side, who have been fighting for over 10 years for acceptance, and they are thrilled to finally have consumers who are willing to step up and fight for a THR product we actually like and that works. It's win-win!
But this issue is a lot more political than most people realize, because a large part of the opposition to THR has nothing to do with health but is about money and morals. So, unfortunately, both arguments have to be made.

Thanks. He might be BT, but I maintain my opinion of his great presentation.
Thumbs up from Serbia. It is about the States at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that what ever they decide it will have snowball effect to whole world... China excluded, ofcourse.

Yep, a rep for Big, Evil Tobacco that always lies. lol
Remember - in spite of the scientific evidence showing the opposite, tobacco companies are required by law to say that all of their smoke-free products are not a safe alternative to smoking, while Big Pharma is allowed to lie and call their products "safe and effective."
These BP guys will never get off the theme of "There's no good nicotine but our nicotine".
He is a businessman who does business inside the status quo - therefore he must make a pledge of allegiance at the beginning of his speech.
