Bravo, Elaine! I can only imagine the time and effort that went into your presentation. You crammed an awful lot of food for thought into less than a dozen slides.
You made a compelling case for long term nicotine use (actual replacement versus abstinence) and the need for sufficient nicotine levels to prevent relapse.
I hope it gave some of the FDA representatives in the room pause when you said:
"Which is more important to health: Nicotine abstinence or smoking cessation?"
I also loved your parting remark:
"This should not be about politics or profits. Peoples lives depend on a change in attitude, education, and product availability."
Amen to that one.
Thank you, Elaine and Bill, for putting your passionate dedication to work on our behalf.
