(145 posts)Walt Linscott was at a hearing in NY when he said that. And tho I didn't go threw all the text from the hearing, don't believe that is total context of what he was saying its just a small snipet of his quote. This is old news and long over.
I don't understand why you are so hung up on if they are classified as tobacco or not.
And also when presenting a fact you should back it with proof as a link to where you found this fact.
This little tidbit you think is so important came from NPR, you found it on Gasp. NPR did not add a link to where they got the quote from and in what context is was said. I love how NPR and other news outlets feel they don't have to back up what they use as quotes.
It was taken from this legis.suffolkcountyny.gov/clerk/gmeet/2009/GM081809.pdf?
This company you are so hot about is no longer in business, and they were not the company that got the judge to rule on the tobacco thing, they only got the product freed up that the FDA illegally confiscated, Its not within the FDA to do that kind of thing.
A year later an other company that is still in business got the judgment to have it classified as a tobacco.
So get your facts straight.
