FDA Proposes New Deadline for E-Cigarette Applications

Now they want to move it.

Common Sense Legislation Would Limit Teen Tobacco Access

While I disagree with Tobacco 21 as they portray it, Dr. Rodu has a point. Or three.

Common Sense Legislation Would Limit Teen Tobacco Access


Removing e-liquid flavours from sale threatens the proven success of e-cigarettes

A warning from the New Nicotine Alliance. They’ve been at this awhile.

Removing e-liquid flavours from sale threatens the proven success of e-cigarettes


Lets discuss nicotine, let facts emerge

Wait, facts and nicotine? Be still my beating heart!

“…total global retail sales associated with the nicotine ecosystem during 2017-18 were approximately $785 billion. Cigarettes made up about 89.1% of the global retail nicotine ecosystem by sales value. As compared to that vaping products have a 1.5 per cent market share, which is growing fast.”

If my math is right, 9.4% of the market for “nicotine” was pharmaceuticals.

Meharry Medical College accepted JUUL’s $7.5M grant with eyes wide open

See, researchers who are ethical will do research, science, and collect data regardless of who funds them.

It’s called independent research. I am looking forward to Meharry Medical College’s results, no matter what they are.

Those against it have agendas. Those against it are screaming.

Strategies to Reduce Illicit Trade of Regular Nicotine Tobacco Products After Introduction of a Low-Nicotine Tobacco Product Standard

Um – they already know there’ll be a black market. Huh.

Strategies to Reduce Illicit Trade of Regular Nicotine Tobacco Products After Introduction of a Low-Nicotine Tobacco Product Standard

Speaking of lower nicotine: Note, combustion stays the same.

I’ve covered “lower” nicotine here and here.

Gaslighting

Finally this week, two different articles about what public health “experts”, tobacco “control” and “governmental authorities” are doing in the United States: “Gaslighting.”

Two articles to get you in the mood, then a third from Carl V. Phillips from last year.

“a bias — whatever the motivation — is counterproductive”

Gaslighting the Public


Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction and lying, it attempts to destabilize the target and delegitimize the target’s belief.”

“Gaslighting” by the Government and Sycophants:


Final note: Carl V Phillips covered ‘gaslighting’ here in 2018:

NYC Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment (C.L.A.S.H.) is a grassroots organization established in 2000 dedicated to advancing and protecting the interests of adults who choose to smoke cigarettes or enjoy other forms of tobacco or use electronic cigarettes.
Here’s their Press release.

Harry Shapiro with Nicotine Science and Policy takes criminal intent on – in a whole new light:

“English law is called gross negligence manslaughter……..can also can be committed simply by omission”…

Please give this its due attention from Harry with Nicotine Science and Policy…

What if…..?

Of Mice and Menace:

Why Rodent Studies Of Vapor Products Are Meaningless

“Mice are not little four legged people!” ~ @VladTheVaper

From Carl V. Phillips:

Of Mice And Menace:


Nicotine Warning

My words:

The Food and Drug Administration would like to have all e-liquid manufacturers continue to affirm the government lie to consumers by yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Their words:

FDA affirms commitment to warning the public to warning the public about nicotine in tobacco products

Minimally or “non-addictive” nicotine

Let me remind you of the accolades of lower nicotine:

Cliff Douglass of the American Cancer Society –  thinks lower nicotine in cigarettes is “Absolutely everything

NCI Director Ned Sharpless says “…good news for treating cancer and preventing cancer

FDA’s Scott Gottlieb claims “Lower nicotine in the same product

Matt Myers of Tobacco-Free Kids says “…to use products that won’t kill them

Basing “minimally or non-addictive” levels of nicotine by lowering cigarette consumption by 1.6 less cigarettes… over two years… is a public health win?  Here’s what they came up with after two years:

238 “non-daily” smokers… what?

👉over the course of two years...

lowered their smoking by 1.6 cigarettes…

“real-time reporting” and “cigarette butt counts.

No – to slow progress… is this is what the Food and Drug Administration likes?

One of my favorite subjects – covered here and here

This headline calls it “staggering“.

You can check my math here:

Nondaily Smokers’ Changes in Cigarette Consumption With Very Low-Nicotine-Content Cigarettes


More Proof from FDA Population Data Showing E-Cigarettes As Popular Quit-Smoking Aids

“it is possible that they may play a bigger role in assisting smokers to quit combustible tobacco.”

More Proof from FDA Population Data Showing E-Cigarettes As Popular Quit-Smoking Aids


Walnuts are drugs

Speaking of conjecture and nicotine being defined as “tobacco“, now…

I wonder how they vape…  and if we vape ’em, they also a tobacco product…

Walnuts are drugs.
