I don't know how I got there, but there is an article on Se. Blumenthal's work on restricting e-cigs.


Please go to this link and comment. You are free to read the article, but it will probably piss you off.


Blumenthal Wants More E-Cigarette Rules in 6 Months, Says Adults Prefer Tobacco Flavor - US News

P.S. I really like my sweets.

U.S. News is a popular magazine, and our voices will get some print.

I also took the opportunity to e-mail Steve Nelson with a slight chide about his responsibility and then my story. I finished with gratitude.

Ironically, I just tasted a Vanilla tobacco flavor sample that was included in one of my recent orders. I've never liked tobaccos, but I thought, "Hey, maybe my tastes are changing..?" Nope. Still a blecch!

The so-called tobacco flavors I vape don't taste anything like "tobacco" to me. Thank god. If I wanted that "taste" I'd just eat out of an ashtray.

Nice if you would say that as a comment to the article...

Lol, that article is hysterical. They'll be loosing their bribe monies if they don't bow to the demands of their grantors apparently. Me thinks Blumenthal and his bedfellows best go on a rice cake diet for 6 months if they want the public to believe that they truely believe that adults do not enjoy the rich Flavors of foods and beverages, candies and deserts. They are so reaching! LoL. Hopefully SNL will pick this up!

PLEASE STOP!!!

(1) We were asked to WAIT for CASAA to issue some guidance on what we should do and when.

(2) The petition contains false statements. The very first sentence is FALSE. The FDA has only PROPOSED regulations.

(3) The petition is poorly worded and contains spelling, grammar, and syntax errors. It doesn't help us if it reads as if it was written by a third-grader.

I understand how you feel; we're all _____ (nervous, scared, angry). But we can't go off half-cocked on our own with a petition here and a letter there. We need to put forth a unified effort and we need to do it intelligently.

Please don't sign the petition. WAIT for CASAA's guidance.

If you're not a member of CASAA, please join. If you are a member, please donate!

"We must ban any and all flavors that might hypothetically appeal to some hypothetical young person, even if it means hundreds of thousands of actual adult Americans are prevented from quitting smoking in the process."

If there's ever been a more misguided, perverted, nonsensical bit of "public health" rationale, I haven't heard it.
