Vape Read Of The Day!
As some of you may have known, shortly after the FDA released their final regulations over the vaping industry, Senator Ron Johnson sent a letter to the FDA asking for answers to some pretty straight-forward questions.
As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, he was searching for the same answers that we are. Such as, "Will the FDA issue a revised rule if there is sufficient data that finds that e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes?" and "Has the FDA considered the unintended consequences if decreased access to e-cigarettes leads to increased consumption of traditional cigarette and tobacco products?"
The FDA was given a deadline of about 2 full weeks to provide answers to his questions. This deadline came and went with the FDA completely ignoring his letter. This goes to show that the FDA believes they are above responding to consumer concerns even when coming from a committee that has some kind of oversight over them.
Senator Johnson is not taking this snub lightly and has once again sent another letter with a deadline to respond. Hit the link to take a look at the second letter and let us know what you think will come of it. Will the FDA respond with adequate answers?
