FDA Public Hearing

[Vocalek]

Both Bill Godshall and I will be testifying October 27 at an FDA public hearing on the topic, of “Risks and Benefits of Long-Term Use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) Products”

I'm curious to know how well these products worked for others, so I started a poll. My theory would be that those who managed to use them to quit smoking completely actually used them long-term, rather than as directed to wean off nicotine over a specified period of time--usually 12 weeks.

In my case, I never did achieve full cessation using them as directed. Before I took up vaping, I used nicotine gum long term to reduce the number of cigarettes I smoked.

I took the poll and posted my reasons. Good luck at the hearing. You are a true blessing to our community!

Took the poll. Never finished using them, the side-effects always made me stop 'em before I shook the addiction.

I have posted a copy of my slides (with explanatory text) delivered today, 10/27/2010 at the public hearing. Things went well. All of the speakers at the public hearing endorsed long-term use and most endorsed higher dosages.

Vocalek, excellent slide presentation!! Thank you for all your work and keep us informed of any developments from your presentation.

 

[Vocalek]

I do have one exciting piece of news. I was approached by one of the other folks who testified. He wants to do some reserach with experienced vapors. I will find out more and let you know where we go from here.

Nicely done. Thank you so much for your efforts.

I saw the slides before, obviously, but I enjoyed reading your comments, Elaine! Thank you for representing CASAA's members!

Thank you so very much. I am just so glad you are on our side. Were there many Antis there and if so what was their reasoning for being opposed to ecigs and other reduced harm products?

This is great Elaine, best of luck with the presentation. I know you and Bill will do a great job!

 

[CES]

Thanks for your continued time and hard work.

Great job Elaine. Was there any question/answer after the presentation and if so, how did that go?

 

[BCB]

Superb! Nice work, Vocalek, and thanks.
