I'm hearing a lot of thinly veiled arguments to approve ways to sell more patches, gums, etc. for more profit in smaller packs and tell people to use them for longer periods. Sounds very profit motivated.

And then he brings it home with the double talk of asking them to regulate "tobacco derived products for non theraputic use" Ha!
This is only the OTC or Rx, And giving the faster approval for Pharma. They are acting as if we don't exist.
Exactly what I thought at the mention of smaller packs. On the other hand, when we find a liquid we like, we go the opposite way and buy a BIGGER bottle to save money. It does sound profit-motivated, specifically this speaker having noted a small portion of his funding (I believe) comes from NRT manufacturers.
Oh yes, fast track all these products who pay me in the past to test them please! You have to be kidding me, this is so corrupt!
A nice accent helpsSome of the speakers seem to cut out more than others.
I believe he is acting as if vaping does exist, the bit about "different statutory standards". He is just now talking about the need for negotiations, regulation, efficacy proof, for new non-combustible nicotine delivery mechanisms.
A nice accent helps
Indeed. The Scottish gentleman didn't cut out at all lol. This guy sounds like... eww.
Did the FDA just acknowledge the possibility that because they didn't thoroughly test Chantix, there have been some serious negative effects on the public?
Chantix...CHANTIX!!!??? I'm pretty sure I NEVER heard of any "suicidal ideations" as a side effect of e-cigs...but the Chantix side effects are "small in comparison"...WOW I wonder just how much this guy cost Pfizer...
This scumbag just said Chantix side effects are "overblown" HA! So it's ok to fast track a drug that causes mass depression and suicide in mentally healthy people amazing!
And he is defending Chantix! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH You crooked slimey snake!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh don''t worry, this drug only makes you want to kill yourself and others, but hey, you sure did quit smoking. aaaaaand now they straight ask this person about e-cigs.

Keep in mind that this is STEP ONE in a stage. Right now the FDA doesn't approve ANY products as THR - all nicotine/tobacco products fall under nicotine therapy or tobacco product. Nicotine therapy needs lots of testing and approval, tobacco products are forced to say they are not safer than smoking.
Therefore, should the FDA allow nicotine therapy products to be used long term, then they are essentially allowing for and acknowledging THR. Of course, the ANTZ are all for this, because they get their paychecks from Big Pharma. But this also opens the door for other smoke-free products like e-cigarettes. The ANTZ have argued against e-cigs because "nicotine is still unsafe" yet here they are willing acknowledging for us that smoke-free nicotine is far better than smoking! So, this whole hearing only affects e-cigarettes and other low-risk smoke-free products in the long-term. But everything they are saying about the long-term use of gums, patches and lozenges also supports the use of other smoke-free products. The ANTZ will keep arguing aginst e-cigs here, but they are still opening the door for us.
