Ahh I see Mr. Abrams, so suicide inducing drugs are good and should have less pre market testing. Yet E-cigarettes need more... ok got it thanks. (holy hippocrate batman!)

I hope I didn't offend you - it's a common misconception and belief. The ANTZ have done a good job deceiving people into thinking all Big Pharma = good and all tobacco and non-BP products = bad.
Thanks for the positive spin kristin! I get lost in the never ending stream of nonsensical talking points...but there is always upside!
Right... this is the key point! FDA warnings and guidelines overweigh the risks of NRT.
I've been listening since the procedural presentation by the board at 8AM, and so far the conversation has been as I would expect given the history of this agency and previous discussions. Regardless of the obvious bias toward BP products and their increased profit margins, there are a few points I hear coming up frequently that could open the conversation to e-cigs and other recreational nicotine products. I believe the most prominent among these is the point stressed by many of the presenters that the comparison used to determine effectiveness of the method to promote cessation be continued smoking. This point closely resembles much of the sentiment on this forum with regard to hard reduction and could help to change future discussions in our favor.
Of course while I was type this, one of the questions brought up to the presenter appears to challenge this point.

It's the whole reason we are even involved on this hearing about extended NRT use and fast-tracking new products. We have to support any THR policies so we can get e-cigas accepted as NRT.
It's so funny how on the one side they blow the risks of smoking out of proportion (look - i'm not saying smoking is not bad, just not really as bad as they keep saying), and at the very same time they are concerned by hypothetical and likely minute risks of NRT... How do they do that?
Oh my Lord...I don't know about y'all...but I started smoking Marlboro lights...if you have ever had the pleasure of "enjoying" one of those wonderful analogs, you understand, it's NOT about the flavor at all...these people really come across as either completely clueless...or completely sold out.
to avoid the true Issues..OK I really gotta go now but the way it seems the panel is looking at it is they don't much care they want people to quite everything all at once with no help. I'll be checking on this forum thru out the day. I hope I'm not asking much but Kristen could you keep this up to date you seem to know what's going on the most.
Unbelievable...we are beginning to legalize ......... in many states, yet nicotine is under such scrutiny.
