SE, NJoy vs. FDA -- Overflow thread

[thorn]

How about balloons, I inhaled some of that.... in a shop on Bourbon Street in NO. The guy told me it would have an effect on my physiology... and it did. It was a very slippery slope walking back into the street after that.

Of course that was when I was young and foolish, now I'm no longer that young.

And what about a Pez dispenser? They deliver a sugar "high" to little kids.

Absolutely, Pez is a drug/delivery device.

The more smokers who switch to e-cigs, the stronger our position will be.

Why won't they ban cigarettes? One reason might be the thought of 20 million angry smokers, who are going through nicotine withdrawal.

Thanks Julie. Checking the docket everyday should be classified as one of the most boring jobs in the world.

Has anyone ever counted the number of times that some form of the word "promulgate" appears in that law?

 

[Bill Godshall]

The term "promulgate" is synonymous with "propose".

 

[Thulium]

The term "promulgate" is synonymous with "propose".

It sounds a lot more scandalous when you use a word that ends in 'gate'.

Nice Typo in Amicus Brief Smokefree:

"American Lunch Association"

Good reading, overall.

Thank you Julie for the update. Maybe it would be more correct if I said, "Thanks for nothing, Julie".

Have a nice weekend.

 

[Vocalek]

And I expect to be most entertained by the FDA reply brief.

 

[Bryce]

I can't wait to hear you shred it to pieces Vocalek!!! That's my favorite part...lol

It seems to me that they'll probably reiterate most of the same junk they've been spewing out.

That's what I figure, they won't have a good rebuttal so they will just rely on their "good" reputation and being a government agency.

I would expect their arguments to veer away from the science somewhat - in fact, claim that the "real lack of science" is of "utmost concern". They will probably claim that their own study was "only a preliminary study and never meant to be a comprehensive and thorough clinical trial" They will use that to reinforce the need for classification as a "drug delivery device" in order that this technology be "thoroughly tested" before being given ANY "safety assurances." Then the remainder of their arguments I believe will focus on the "behavior" and how the "close similarity" to genuine tobacco smoking threatens to "resurrect, as it were" the acceptability of smoking, especially amongst our youth and that decades of anti-smoking education and Public Health promotion will be seriously undermined.

Yup, that's exactly what I expect to see!

 

[JerryRM]

Thanks for nothing, Julie.

Morse code has it's abbreviations too Julie, just like texting, only a lot older. Instead of "you are", the letters "U R" are used. It saves time and energy.

*CUL (*see you later).

I should get points for trying.

 

[JerryRM]

One hundred points for doing a good job, Julie, both with the updates and the Morse Code.

Julie, I think that most of the members on this thread are fluent in Azerbaijani, unfortunately, I am not one of them.

I will have the popcorn and softdrinks ready for Thursday.
