I like seeing the terms lifesaving e-cigarette information coupled with FDA's deadly censorship of by mainstream financial media. Dunno. Gives me this warm fuzzy feeling.
Good luck.
Seems like we're the ones "taking" the mile.Some of us did but were still shocked at the lengths they are taking---Give an inch and they will take a mile--seems they are taking several of them![]()
I suspect some appear to be our greatest allies.@UnclePsyko ^^ Ditto.
Another obvious ploy used by our opponents that seems to be totally
over looked.
Agent Provocateurs.
: one employed to associate with suspected persons and by pretending sympathy with their aims to incite them to some incriminating action.
This does not only mean incriminating as in breaking the law.
a person who commits, or who acts to entice another person to commit an illegal or "rash act "
'parentheses mine'
The rash act being to encourage and or foster beliefs detrimental to ones cause.
We had them in the peace movement. We had them in the smokers right groups.
IMHO they are also here. I may not (in fact I don't) know who they are but, I see
there finger prints everywhere on this sight.
Due to the nature of the subject mater here I know people are passionate about
their idea's and truly believe in them. This is undeniable. That is also why it is
impossible to ferret out those who do not have our best interests in mind.

Exactly where are you suggesting I stick my head this time Mike?Just because your Paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to Get You.
I find little other use for Tin foil in the Microwave Age![]()
I realized in the first couple of days of vaping that I was going to beat smoking. I took six weeks to switch to make sure it didn't fail. How I feel now, mostly, is grateful. I want to give back.
My hunch is the FDA has blundered. By interfering with smokers switching to vaping they are poisoning people not so differently than the water situtation in Flint, Michigan, which is a public health fiasco caused by public health.
They likely won't be held accountable.Skoon may have a point 'bout comparing Flint here @beckdg…FDA ain't got a paint roller big enough to lather on the lipstick with this one. Sooner or later they all but got to start laughin' at themselves on camera. Good luck.![]()
The new member 5 post rule went away when the forum software was migrated to XenForo.FYI, I didn't see any reference to new member posts of 5 by the OP. Don't they show those on the profile? Just wondered. Neither has there been any response since his/her Happy Days are Here to Stay original comments.
Aaah. OK. I did wonder.The new member 5 post rule went away when the forum software was migrated to XenForo.
What's bothering me most about this whole thing is there doesn't appear to be any cohesive plan of action. Are we all just waiting for 90 days to drizzle down and fizzle out or ? …….
Sure, the FDA can go whistle at a wall while we continue to make our own vaporizer adjustments and ultimately our own vape juice.
The government can go hang itself on its non-stream of revenue, as can all the little boys n girls whose salaries were going to fatten up from vape tax.
And (No Small Thing) a couple hundred thousand people will be out of work.
But is there Anything going on? Or is everyone (me included) waiting on someone/something else?
And what will happen to our wonderful vaping community. I've made friends here!
Yor are not following the Sticky threads, Facebook, CASAA and other Advocacy groups are you?
Nicopure Labs(Halo) has already fired back with the first volley, filing Suite on First amendment violation. CASAA and several other Adcocacy Groups have formed partnership to Battle FDA in court.
China Manufacturers have already committed to Financial Support for Legal actions against FDA Deeming.
Plenty is happening, but wheels must turn smoothly. Spinning in place helps nothing.
Well, not social media much, no.So we're waiting to see the outcomes of these particular lawsuits? And I did see that CASAA has joined up with several other organizations. I also know about the Cole Bishop Amendment. But I also see 90 days clicking away, and wonder if there's anything we CAN do. I guess what you're saying is that we just have to hope very large dollar-greased industry will have an impact?

It's not the ones easily seen Mike that are trouble. They're the ones we confide in. That's the worst aspect of this whole situation. That by the FDA's not acting in good faith, playing a hidden hand, it is a betrayal of the public trust. It must then necessarily and by design have a chilling effect on free speech…even though the express intent is not reflected in the rules. I say illegal, unlawful. And most definitely, not American.Good luck all.
