Asking how much an NRT should cost to make them more effective? Duh. Cheaper than a pack of cigarettes.

I'm not hearing this going too terribly well. From what I've heard, there is a slightly unprofessional and nearly confrontational tone from 'our side' that's shutting me down as a listener. Maybe I just need to take a quick vape break and come back to this.
edit: actually, the new speaker seems to be doing very well.

I would have thought that someone arrogant enough to put "Esq." after their name would be on time. Sorry, Phil Damon Esq.- you've been passed over. Go home. Hahaha.
Now its cutting out to much to understand anything. Will wait for the recording.
I had the same problem
Go to the meeting drop-down and then manage settings then run the audio wizard
It fixed the audio for me
Did I just hear the implication that if you switch to an NRT - not specified FDA-approved or not - you're trading up to pancreatic cancer? Keller points out that her source was a cherry-picked survey, where another by the same researcher showed the opposite, and nothing was conclusive on that. More misinformation and scare tactics (considering the survival rates from pancreatic cancer are abysmal) from the FDA.
Yep. Whoever that last lady (edit: Elaine Keller) was came off really badly. The guy before her was fantastic though- just facts, stayed calm and didn't get caught in a "I got that fact off the internet" gaffe.

We've played nice and given them the benefit of the doubt for 3 years of testifying to the FDA, Reaperman. That time has past - we have switched tactics and are calling a spade a spade now. They have to stop ignoring us and the fact that these facts are recorded is very important. Not just the FDA will see or hear these testimonies.
I have to agree. Elaine Keller's tone and disorganized presentation was a bit disappointing. This was a huge opportunity for CASAA and I really don't think that their message was delivered clearly at all.
They had already mentioned Mr. Damon had said he would be unable to attend in opening announcements.
No, the pancreatic cancer was supposedly linked to smoke-free tobacco products such as snus, but as Elaine explained, the "conclusion" of increased risk was based on just two small studies and those studies countered each other. However, they still chose to tell the public that snus conclusively raises the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea. I'm at work now, but I'll make sure to keep checking in on updates throughout the day. This should definitely be interesting
Didn't so much seem disorganized to me considering the cramped time constraints. It would be difficult for me to cover that much info in 8 minutes. Nobody is getting too much across in that little time. It seemed more impressive than some thus far.
Thank you. My audio seemed to be cutting in and out for a moment while that was going on.
Keeping an eye on this myself from work.
Even though I'm in the UK, whatever happens in the US has an indirect impact on the UK anyway.
And I believe we are in the same boat some time later this year and the US verdict will influence the UK one (or at least add weight to one side or another.)
Good luck all

I agree that she got caught off guard with that one question, but of all the facts she gave about THR, smoking and NRT, the one of just two questions the panel asks is about the income level of smokers?? How relevant is that to the overall idea of allowing for long-term use of NRT for THR really??
Fair enough. Perhaps limit the message to a few important points. The overall philosophy to me was lost.
JParadise, you will understand why it was important to get as much info in as possible once the ANTZ start speaking. We know what kinds of things they will be saying (based on what they said in the past) and a lot of what she said is to pre-counter those lies. Unfortunately, all the pro-THR people got clumped at the beginning, which leaves the counter arguments open for the ANTZ and we don't get a chance to come back and counter them.
Thanks for the tip and I gave it a shot. I guess its my slow connection. We are behind the times around here. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2378047701.png
