About every ten years I read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four again.

In the past I reread it as a terrific piece of dystopian fiction.

This time I've reread it as a guidebook for dealing with our government.

This was announced a couple of hours ago on Twitter by ECIGattorney:

With the support of the industry tonight the @r2bsmokefree Coalition filed a lawsuit against FDA and the Deeming Reg

I haven't found anything else about it yet. Anyone know anything about it?

(Sry, wasn't sure where else to bring this up)

Brazil. Might wanna revisit that movie too, interestingly enough - released in 1985.

Dimitris posted on FB:

From Azim Chowdhury: On behalf of the E-Vapor Industry, tonight we filed the attached Complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging portions of FDA’s Deeming Regulation and the tobacco Control Act on various constitutional and administrative grounds.

I want to thank everyone participating in the process and especially the Tennessee Smoke Free Association and SEVIA USA for their quick response to funding !!

I believe we have a great legal team and feel cautiously optimistic.

Interesting. I googled them and it looks like it's a coalition of e-liquid manufacturers. Cignot (and Vicky) is a member, also.

I wish them luck! So now we have three? four? law suits filed?

Even Rod Serling himself couldn't have dreamed this up.
But thanks for the laugh!
:laugh:

Of course if Rod Serling had vaping instead of smoking then perhaps he wouldn't have died from three heart attacks by the time he reached age 50.

Why, I'm sure the FDA wouldn't wish that fate on anyone...

The FDA's choice of targets is a peculiar one. They want to demonize vaping because of the nicotine, but give pharma a pass as long as you chew it or sniff it and have FDA approval. It's all about taxing nicotine. That, and preventing vaping from growing larger than big tobacco cigarette makers.

The "We don't know what's in it" part sounds suspiciously like Nancy Pelosi's comments on the ACA. This is the same FDA that allows controlled percentages of insects and insect parts to be in the food we buy at the grocery store.

Look what I found:

Electronic Vaping Coalition of America

I stand with the over 24 million Americans involved in the vaping industry and support Senator Ron Johnson’s efforts to save the industry by demanding a response from the FDA regarding their recent regulations.

How come this petition is not getting more love here? Only 91 signatures? Let's start signing and sharing and tweeting! The good senator deserves our support. :)

Probably because it barely registers on their own web site? I had to search for it, and the only thing it says is "SIGN THE PETITION!" No other information provided. ~> Stand With Ron Johnson -Sign the Petition | Electronic Vaping Coalition of America

Yes, but you don't get that information until you go to the external link. If you just see the page on EVCA linking out to the petition all it says is "Stand With Ron Johnson -Sign the Petition". That's barely adequate - and you have to know to search to even locate it. (It's not exactly the best laid out web site...)

Signed it, but all these miscellaneous petitions being floated are kind of turning into a blur.
