Absolutely. They did a similar thing with the dissolvable orbs, strips, and sticks. They were issuing press releases talking about "candy tobacco."

I was giving a presentation at the FDA and mentioned this. One of the FDA folks looked stunned and said "The sellers are calling it candy tobacco"? He was even more stunned when I told him that it was the anti-tobacco people calling it that.

So great, if the kids mistake it for candy, they will have only themselves to blame. Believe me, Reynolds was not asking stores to display their products anywhere other than among their brands of cigarettes.

It was Nicorette that I saw displayed out in the open, on the bottom shelf even, with colorful boxes to attract the attention of the chiiiiiiiilldren.
It's their own fault for being oblivious to what's going on. If they spent as much time, effort, and finances on real data, real scientists, real doctors, as they do their spin doctors, they would have a huge wake up call.
Maybe we can petition Obama to make the FDA spend equal amounts of resources on real facts as they do their propaganda advocates.

I can't believe how many people don't realize the difference between professional science, doctors, lab, data and spin doctors.

Elaine, look for a note from leafy ok. I asked them to contact you via CASAA

I would blame the news. How many curious people are going to try that now, who didn't even know about it before now? They are irresponsibly promoting drugs to our kids.
Meanwhile, back on the home front, parents are scurrying like mad to warn kids about synthetic drugs. Even the kids are warning kids.
ECigs have zero bearing on drugs. Articles like this will steer parents away from the main problem, that being the drug itself. Kind of makes me wonder who is hiring who to make these drugs.

Imagine that, take a look at the new Utah thread. Surprise surprise. Not! Thank you media and sabatours alike. But you know what, while they bash and trash safer alternatives this and that, even our rowdy brats are healing. That's priceless no matter how one looks at it.

The video "Host" sounded to me like she was reading a list of questions provided by the "Guest".

Any teen, or adult, that knows how a 6 volt battery works can make an e-cig out of junk they have in their garage. A coil, a piece of cotton, something to suck it through, and a battery. Very complicated. I don't know anything about "bath salts" but I have to assume that the "teens" already have something to smoke it with.

I think I would be more concerned if I caught my teen with Zigzag rolling papers. (My teen is now 42)

In order to keep our children safe.

Yet, they try to ban the only safer alternative that actually saves lives by helping smokers to forget about lighting up.
