FDA and bait and switch- letter to manufacturers

 http://www.tveca.com/PDF/fda-letter.pdf

Is a link to the marvelous letter sent to elecronic cigarette and juice manufacturers.  Quoting the Tobaccolawblog from the the law firm of Troutman and Sanders  http://www.tobaccolawblog.com/  :
"The letters note that FDA has authority under the Tobacco Control Act to assert jurisdiction over e-cigarettes, and that FDA intends to do so by issuing appropriate regulations.
The letters request information regarding the following issues:

• Customer complaints and “adverse event issues.”
• Reports of “consumer misuse.”
• Descriptions of product labeling.
• Systems in place to review customer complaints and adverse events."

Based on the information requested, it appears that FDA’s letters may have been prompted by a report earlier this year of an e-cigarette exploding in a man’s mouth.

It appears that the FDA is continuing to tally data to produce a case for strict regulation and safety is an issue.  There is no mention of any material in these letters pertaining to the positive effects or reports venders are receiving.

Sad that there is only Big Tobacco and Pharma (pharmaceutical companies who make NRT's- nicotine replacement therapies) interests with the money to lobby the FDA.

very sad

Of course Vermont not banning internet sales of ecigarettes- priceless.

For the truth about tobacco harm reduction- there is the one and only CASAA-The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association  casaa.org.
