The final countdown to August 8th - your FDA comments NEEDED

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

This is what I am Talking about!

If you got 2 People to Comment, and then Each of those 2 got 2 to Comment, and then Each of those got 2, ... It would Only Take 16 Iterations to Generate 65,536 Comments.

And the 17th Iteration would Jump to 131,072 Comments.

At 131,072 Comments, people Start to Sit Up and Take things Very Seriously. Because the Thought of 131,072 People Donating to or Enjoining in a Lawsuit can Not Be Ignored.

Spread the Word However you Can.

Exponential growth is a beautiful thing

I sure Hope our Elected Reps in Congress are Watching this Closely. Because they are the Ones who will Approve or ask for Changes to the FDA's Rules/Regulations.

It would seem that the Next Phase would be sending Congressional Reps our Views about what e-Cigarette Regulations should look like.

The tally right now is 75735, keep them coming folks!

Done and sent. Tracking number and comments provided to CASAA. Should we post the comments here as well?

FDA Personnel,

I am an adult, I like flavors, I've quit over 40 years of smoking with vaping.
Leave your grubby little paws off my vaping equipment and liquids.

TIA

Too direct???

Probably, but every comment helps. The more cogent and level headed the better but sometimes emotion is called for.

this last call to action... seemed so complicated... i have done all the other ones, submitted comments, written letters... this one, too many hoops to jump through. i just gave up.

but then today i got an email from 'smokey joe', i clicked the link, read the guide, said 'hey that aint so hard', wrote my comment, submitted, done.

dont know why i was so puzzled by the CASAA instructions, but the smokey joe email made the difference, just sayin. thanks!

I Dunno?

Sometimes a Short "I'm Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take it Anymore" comment can be a Good Thing.

And Better than Not Commenting at all.

In before the closing bell!

SJ (our Founder!) does have a way with words, doesn't he?

Speaking of which...

Bringing to the front (again!):

Dear ECF members and visitors,

On August 8th the FDA will close the comments on its proposed deeming regulation.

This regulation will profoundly affect the future of the industry, and as it currently stands, this means 99% of available products are likely to be removed from the market.

So far, not nearly enough vapers have submitted their testimonies to the FDA, and it is essential that all who wish to see vaping remain a viable alternative for smokers.

That means you.

It needn't take long to comment, and I've put a guide on vaping.com, based on CASAA's latest call to action.

Please spend a few minutes composing your own comment. And remember, this really is your final opportunity to have your voice heard before the rule is made. Your comment is important as, by law, it has to be considered as part of the rule-making process.

Many thanks,

Oliver (SJ)

I sent them a couple dozen well written comments with attachments and references. Some venting has been earned....

With So Much At Stake, and with the Potential for e-Cigarettes to be Meaningful HRT, it would Difficult for a Little Venting to not bleed into Any comment sent to the FDA.

Or when e-Mailing a State or Federal Rep also.
