Also from Clive:
The crusade against JUUL and other vaping products is childish, even for tobacco control
Paul Blair. Because childish tobacco control experts rule the playground.
The crusade against JUUL and other vaping products is childish, even for tobacco control
“Preemption can be a thorny issue when it comes to assessing a local government’s ability to adopt tobacco control measures. Preemption arises in different forms, and a locality’s ability to address tobacco may be preempted by laws both within and outside tobacco-specific legislation.”

Speaking of raising the age for tobacco:
Increasing the MLPA to 21 years in NYC did not accelerate reductions in youth tobacco use any more rapidly than declines observed in comparison sites.

I call out brilliance as I see it:
Speaking of nicotine…
The University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University joined in an experiment…
I’ll paste the fun stuff, you can read the whole article below:
I assume no humans were harmed or judged by how quickly they buried marbles and ate food. BOLD, underlining and italics are my emphasis… and joy to do.
“Obviously, humans are not exactly like mice, and these early findings can’t be applied to us.”
Limitations
The study does suggest that metformin may ease some nicotine withdrawal symptoms, due to its action on the AMPK chemical pathway in the brain. However, this has so far been tested only in mice, which were given nicotine via an implanted pump and injected with metformin – the drug is taken orally in humans – with withdrawal symptoms judged by how quickly they buried marbles and ate food.
While there are similarities in many of our biological pathways, humans are obviously not identical to mice, and these results can’t be taken to mean that metformin would be a suitable or appropriate treatment to help people stop smoking.

FDA to offer a voluntary, more modern 510(k) pathway for enabling moderate risk devices
It doesn’t say e-cigarettes… but… if that’s the route taken, NO. E-cigarettes are not a medical device.
“Substantial equivalence is rooted in a comparison between a new device and a predicate device” …
Cigar Trade Groups Petition Court to Delay Warning Label Requirements
So is it a possibility, in your mind, that the premium cigar industry is going to spend millions of dollars updating these boxes and putting labels on them, only to be told later on, didn’t have to do it?
