I can't believe nobody has done it yet.

Okay I'm game.

"I hope this new commissioner isn't going to support some kind of jurassic legislation. If bill # E.T.1982 goes through, its jaws are going to create a close encounter between FDA and Big Pharma. We're all going to have to get on board to save Private Ryan from Big Pharma's grip."

There.

He primarily focussed on medications for children.

Regardless, it would be helpful to know his views or past actions regarding nicotine, tobacco and/or harm reduction before criticizing the guy. Who knows, he might prove to be our ally or champion in the future.

Pfft. Catch me if you Can with this one. Perhaps shipments from China will be blocked again at The Terminal and all those new Duel coil cartos (you know, the ones that are The Color Purple) will be seized... This is straight out of the Twilight Zone man!
