I left class a little early today so I could make it home in time for the contest.
Now let's take a look at who else opposes electronic cigarettes...
During the trial discussed in the previous question, a number of organizations came out in support of the FDA position that electronic cigarettes were unnapproved drug delivery devices which should be removed from the market. On April 27, 2010, some number of the following organizations filed a Motion with the Court requesting Leave to participate as amicus curiae in support of the FDA.
Please indicate which of the following organizations participated in this motion...
--American Cancer Society (ACS)
--American Heart Association (AHA)
--American Lung Association (ALA)
--American Medical Assocation (AMA)
--Campaign for tobacco-Free Kids (CTFK)
As for WHY these groups oppose electronic cigarettes, we'll look into that in questions yet to come.

The next question will be asked on Sunday at 11am PST

Opponents of the THR approach claim that it delays or prevents nicotine cessation in people who might otherwise quit using nicotine. On the other hand, it is more likely that insisting on nicotine cessation delays or prevents smoking abstinence in people who might otherwise quit smoking.
- since e-cigarettes (nicotine vaporizers) are derived from tobacco, the FDA can legally reclassify and regulate them as "tobacco products",
- by choosing to classify e-cigarettes as "drugs" or "devices", the FDA was/is attempting to ban the products,
- hundreds of thousands of smokers already have significantly reduced their health risks by switching to e-cigarettes,
- by reclassifying e-cigarettes as tobacco products, the FDA would ban their sale to minors, can establish other reasonable and responsible product regulations, would help to reduce (instead of maintain)cigarette consumption, and would save taxpayers money that FDA continues to waste,
- in SE vs FDA, federal Judge Richard Leon has ruled that the FDA can regulate e-cigarettes as "tobacco products", but not as "drugs" or "devices",
- sales and use of e-cigarettes have continued to sharply increase despite the FDA's ongoing attempt to ban the products,
- banning e-cigarettes would primarily protect cigarette markets at the expense of consumer and public health,
- if applicable, describe your personal experience using e-cigarettes.

Here is the answer.
Here is the answer.
