And this from another 'link' about this technology.

“Vaping and e-cigarette use is dangerous to the health of students and can be a gateway to the use of illegal drugs or tobacco smoking.”

The "gateway" argument is intellectually vacuous. It fails to address all of those who use any substance but fail to pass through the gateway to any other substance. The theory is good for political propaganda to support an agenda or to sell a product to stupid politicians but it is good for little else. "Gateway" is an illusory correlation.

Actually carrots are a gateway food. Almost everyone who, later in life smokes, once tried carrots as a child then moved on to use cigarettes. Pablum for the masses.

A framework that focuses on nicotine :facepalm:
This is the problem with the whole system, But when their main go to guy, Stanton Glantz, which has his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, doesn't have a clue, then why would they.:(

Everyone heard / knows about the Tobacco companies adding hundreds of chemicals to their tobacco, and doesn't anyone with a PhD ever wonder why they do that?
To add anything to anything cost more money then not to add it :?: So saving money is not the issue.

Hmm maybe add chemicals to make them more addictive o_O
See I have a cert in Mechanical QC so Like Glantz, I guess tobacco falls under Mechanical :unsure:
So with my Mechanical Cert, the first question I would ask is, if Nicotine is so addictive, why would they need to add other chemicals to make tobacco addictive :blink:
And if I pretend like my Mechanical Cert some how puts me in the medical field, like Glantz does, but unlike Glantz, I actually cared for peoples health,
Then wouldn't the first step in helping peoples health be to get laws passed banning the other chemicals from being added to tobacco :?:

Tobacco Research :?:

1930s :blink:
Scholars started noting the parallel rise in cigarette consumption and lung cancer.
1939
Franz Hermann Müller at Cologne Hospital in Germany, published the first study of the strong link between smoking and lung cancer.
1950
Drs Wynder and Graham, of Washington University, USA, published a study showing that of 650 men with lung cancer, 95% had been smoking for 25 years of more.
1951
The first large-scale study of the relationship between smoking and lung cancer was carried out by Dr Richard Doll and Professor Austin Bradford Hill and published in the British Medical Journal.
1953
Dr Ernst L Wynder landmark report finds that painting cigarette tar on the backs of mice creates tumors. This is the first biological link between smoking and cancer.
1954
The Reader's Digest published an article entitled "The cigarette controversy" documenting the evidence on the association between smoking and lung cancer.
1962
The first Royal College of Physicians (RCP) report, "Smoking and Health", was published.
1964
The US Surgeon General produced his first report on "Smoking and Health".
1967
The first World Conference on Smoking and Health was held in New York.
US Surgeon General releases The Health Consequences of Smoking, A Public Health Service Review
1968
US Surgeon General releases The Health Consequences of Smoking, 1968 Supplement to the 1967 Public Health Service Review.
1969
US Surgeon General published The Health Consequences of Smoking, 1969 Supplement to the 1967 Public Health Service Review 1968. :blink:
1970
The Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) presented a report to the 23rd World Health Assembly on "The limitation of smoking".
US Surgeon General releases The Health Consequences of Smoking
1971
Publication of the second RCP report, "Smoking and Health Now"
ASH was developed under the RCP
1973
Independent Scientific Committee on Smoking and Health (ISCSH) was developed in the UK.
1977
The third report of the RCP, "Smoking or Health", was published.

From 1967 to 2014 the US Surgeon General published a "different" The Health Consequences of Smoking almost every year.

My Point is :facepalm:
In the 1930s they thought Smoking causes Cancer,
by the 1960s they knew, (finally admitted) smoking causes cancer.
by the 1970s they knew smoking causes other problems like heart disease.
We still researched Smoking through the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and now 2010s
Over 80 years :?:
What the :censored: are we researching smoking for?
Millions of dollars every year spent on a research that tells us what, Smoking causes Cancer? :blink:

Over 80 years and Billions spent on so called research and they still think that nicotine is the problem not them other hundreds of chemicals that are added. :facepalm:

The classic logical fallacy.

This FDA focused on lower nicotine to me sounds kinda fishy o_O
I can remember reading somewhere the history of the tobacco plant, and it talked about the original tobacco plant being so strong that people didn't smoke or chew but once or twice a day. :?:
The the tobacco plant was genetically modified to be weaker, better tasting, and have less nicotine so people would use more. :facepalm:

And speaking for myself :rolleyes: I smoked Marlboro Reds till Marlboro 27's came out and then I started smoking 27's.
Every now and then I would try to smoke Marlboro lights.
And when I did try to switch to Lights I found myself smoking twice as much. :facepalm:

And drinking for me is pretty much the same, If I want to get drunk fast, I drink certain beers, if I don't want to get drunk and want to hang out all night, I drink light beers. :laugh:

Cigarette sales are dropping across the country :?:
So lowering anything or making cigarettes weaker will probably make them smoke more. o_O
So does this mean the FDA is trying to help cigarette sales. :ohmy:

I don't like them, I don't trust them, and lastly, I am not regretting one bit anything I have stocked away to protect my right to vape in the future. When the weather cools down, I'll probably be ordering even more nicotine from Carolina Extracts because I like it and don't care what it costs...there's always room in the deep freeze for a couple more bottles :lol:
