CASAA Call to Action: Zeller and Hamburg of the FDA are working overtime to publish new bold face and unmitigated LIES about vaping. The following page is titled “Recognize Tobacco in its Many Forms” and the opening paragraph says:
“Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, but can you recognize all the different forms of a tobacco product? The marketplace includes an array of new products, with many looking very different from the traditional tobacco products you may know about.”
Among the products on this page are Electronic Cigarettes. Obviously e-cigs are not and never have been a “tobacco product” since they contain NO tobacco and only contain nicotine, flavorings, and PG/VG. Lots of scientific studies to support this. When your desperate to enhance your ego, build a bureaucracy, and most importantly controlled by the Pharmaceutical Industry and Tobacco Industry, you will say or due whatever it takes.
Two LIES are better than one. The following FDA .pdf titled “Issue Snapshot on Deeming: Regulating Additional Tobacco Products” says:
“WHY THE DEEMING PROPOSED RULE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
With the release of the 50th Anniversary Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health, we now know that the annual death toll from tobacco-attributable disease has risen to more than 480,000. At this rate, there will be more than 17 million deaths from tobacco use between now and mid-century. Additionally, youth use of certain unregulated tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes and cigars, is on the rise. FDA oversight of tobacco products can provide important information about proposed deemed tobacco products and help limit youth exposure to these products. The proposed rule would also enable FDA to explore whether different products pose different levels of risk and help the Agency develop policies to improve public health.”
Same LIE just spun in a different way. Maybe I should repeat the findings of scientific studies. E-cigs are not and never have been a “tobacco product” since they contain NO tobacco and only contain nicotine, flavorings, and PG/VG. Just like various FDA approved NRT products such as patches, gum, and lozenges. Smokes aka “tobacco product” contain over 4K dangerous chemicals that not only kill but addict! None of which are found in ecigs at dangerous levels.
