It should be easy to implement reasonable regulation that is in line with consumer's aspirations.

Should the FDA implement reasonable regulations ??
Hell Yes
Will the FDA implement reasonable regulations ??
Hell No

The heart of the matter. Whoa, remember when it used to read, what matters is the heart...

"The rapidly expanding popularity of e-cigarettes is a threat to the interests of both the tobacco and pharmaceutical industry and to their associated stakeholders. The large revenues generated by tobacco excise taxes are needed by national governments to run their countries and sponsorship for the marketing of anti-smoking drugs and those intended to treat tobacco-related diseases are much needed by pharmaceutical regulatory bodies, health authorities, and medical societies for the running of their statutory activities."

I've been suggesting this for years...

Such a regulatory framework already exists; e-liquids can be marketed as dietary supplements, provided that no claims are made about prevention or treatment of disease. Under dietary supplement regulation, manufacturers must show that a product is not dangerous before introduction. Compliance with national good manufacturing practice policies would ensure that e-liquids are produced in a quality manner, do not contain contaminants or impurities, are accurately labelled, and are held under conditions to prevent adulteration.

Regulating nicotine as a dietary supplement makes perfect sense, because that is exactly what it is.

Can you imagine the ANTZ heads that would explode if nicotine came to be regulated as a dietary supplement?! Oh that would be sweet...!

Whatever 'FDA Deeming', the 'EU TPD', or the 'UK-MHRA' throws onto the table
This battle is not lost
This battle is not won
This battle has only just begun-and will continue to be fought, by us, new vapers, and the legions of others that follow.

We have the 'blueprints' and the knowledge, we will get the raw materials and the supplies-by any means possible.
In the meantime those that seek to control will be given no respite.
