Crawfish pie? Is that better than crab cakes?

That's not the way I read it. The way I read it is that it only applies to tobacco products if a therapeutic claim was attached. See emphasis below:Didn't Soetera resolve that FDA auth only applied to nic as a drug if a therapeutic claim attached?
"In the absence of an authoritative agency interpretation, I conclude that, unless a product derived from tobacco is marketed for therapeutic purposes, the FDA may regulate it only under the provisions of the Tobacco Control Act.
The whole argument is that synthetic nic is not derived from tobacco, and thus not a tobacco product, right? What does that make it?
In a word, no.Crawfish pie? Is that better than crab cakes?

I think the FDA already has sweeping powers to regulate drugs, and I doubt anyone make a successful argument that nicotine isn't a drug. Remember that the only reason the FDA wasn't able to ban vaping back in 2009-2010 is that Judge Leon told 'em something to the effect of, "Since it's made from tobacco, the most you can do is regulate it as tobacco." But that ruling (which has protected vaping for the last 6 or so years) wouldn't apply to synthetic nicotine.

Do yourself a favor and don't ask Skoony.And I still don't know what derived means.
Well, Trump seems to be on a firing streak in DC, so who knows, it could turn out to be good on the end.

It has always been the way for government to attempt to alter behaviors. The previous mayor of NYC was well known for that. He banned the use of transfats, he tried to ban the sale of soda in quantities larger than 16 oz to combat obesity because of the sugar (it was thrown out by the court), and he also tried to pass a snack tax that would impose an extra "obesity" tax on snacks like candy, chips and soft drinks (that never got passed by the city council because it would hurt low income families more).If it's something people want, tax it to death. If it's something they can't make money on, outlaw it.

Everyone who hasn't stocked up, please look at the way this is going and do something about it - remove yourself from the equation by stocking up.
