(145 posts)The "reason" they wanted it as a tobacco classification is because if it were made as a drug device years of testing would have to be done on it before the FDA would approve it as a NRT. Its helping people now, and has been since before 2009. They have been in this country since 2007.
Its old news because we have moved on to other challenges, what happened in 2009 is over. What the judgement was in 2010 is done, we move on. Unlike you.
Even the FDA is not hung up on it being a tobacco product. Do you realize smokeless tobacco products are not even treated like cigarettes and they are in the same category. You could be standing right next to someone with snus in their cheek and not even know it. FDA are even possibly looking at a category of alternative tobaccos, reduced threat tobaccos. See they understand we have the rights to choose to use these products and they can not be ban. They have no control over the batteries, they are just a tool, they would only have the abilty to regulate the juices. And what about those juices that have no nicotine in them? Then there is no tobacco product involved. Many used juice that has no nicotine in it.
What would you do if you saw a person with a nicotrol inhaler, they put off the same thing that e-cigs do in their vapor, they are FDA approved.
You could be standing next to me and not even know I was vaping. You are carrying this out way to far. There are enough studies already done to know they are 99% safer than smoking cigarettes and the study that shows there is no threat to second party. And an other study that also shows no threat to second party. I don't think you even read any of the studies presented to you.
E-cigarettes are an alternative to smoking... Im going to say it now...get over it, it has nothing to do with you...millions (10 million in the world )of people will live longer because they are using an e-cigarette instead of smoking. People that use e-cigarettes are polite and don't usually exhale vapor around others.
We are stuck to vape around smokers and inhale second hand smoke which is what we are trying to get away from. We are no longer smokers, we are non-smokers and don't want to be around smoke anymore, I guess you just don't understand that.
Laws made out of ignorance are bad laws.
