New petition launched on Change.org as White House Petition reaches goal
by Mike Mueller
Petition Organizer
A new petition to the United States Congress to intervene and prevent the FDA from using its regulatory authority in the product category of electronic cigarettes, popularly known as "personal vaporizers" or simply "PV's" by their users has been launched on change.org. The petitioners maintain that since the FDA has urged smokers to continue smoking and not use the safer e-cigs on its website, and since the FDA has spread mis information at that same website and in other public comments, the FDA is not qualified to regulate these products and that regulation, if any, should be implemented at local levels.
The petition organizer, Mike Mueller, states, "had the FDA not lied and relied on real studies, and acted as a science based agency, rather than as a biased entity trying to keep the status quot intact, this petition would have never been necessary. In that case the industry and the public could confidentially work along with their government to adopt sensible regulations ".
