Ex-Glaxo Official Sues Over Firing Tied to Study Mistakes

So nic patches are useless & dangerous after all? Shocker! What do we pay FDA for I wonder? We only seem to find these things out when a whistle-blower comes along. Perhaps GOP legislators were right that we'd be better off if FDA were abolished...

Says it all really - I got this on my newsfeed yesterday morning but when I went to try to find it later to post a link here it had gone...well done you for finding and posting.

I also found a report showing how the same company put the case to the EEC that unless vaping was heavily regulated ( ie stiffled) their business would be badly affected.

Most whistle blowers wind up in jail or in hiding. Hope this guy ends up well.

I'm sure Selmani will fade away and a fish warped in newspaper delivered 'to whom it may be concerned'
