FDA loses Electronic cigarette Ban in Federal Court!
Electronic Cigarette BEATS THE BAN !!! Judge Richard J. Leon of Federal District Court in Washington said the (FDA) Food and Drug Administration doesn’t have the authority to seize electronic cigarettes because the products don’t qualify as devices subject to the agency’s regulation. This case appears to be yet another example of FDAs aggressive efforts to regulate recreational tobacco products as drugs or devices, Judge Leon wrote. In a 32-page opinion, US District Judge Richard J. Leon sided with electronic-cigarette makers. He criticized what he called the FDA’s “tenacious drive to maximize its regulatory power,” saying he found its interpretation of the law “unreasonable and unacceptable.” For the Full Ruling goto www.freedom2vape.com or download here http Enjoy your freedom2vape!

cigarettes have 2 addictive qualities to them. Nicotine, and the actual physical habit of smoking a cigarette. but like any other drug nicotine will leave your system after a while of not smoking but in turn the habit draws you back keeping you addicted. So if you need to quit, use an e cig, then to get rid of the nicotine, get the e hookah. same but without nicotine though. now you its all about getting rid of that habit. it may not be hard, but at least it isnt harming you in the mean time.

@prof5759 It is true that the e-cigarettes are replacing the habit of smoking. Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that this is a bad thing? Really? You’ve convinced me, I’m going to quit vaping and resume filling my lungs with tar and carbon monoxide. That’s DEFINATELY a lot better that just nictine. Think a little bit, would you?

@prof5759 They say about 70% of people who use the e-cigarette quit. However. Think about it. The two main chemicals in e-cigarettes are propylene glycol (Considered generally food safe by the FDA) and nicotine. Yes, nicotine is a stimulant. So is FUCKING CAFFINE! You dumbshit. Do some research before you go throwing ideas around.

@prof5759 – but banning something just creates a lucrative and often times dangerous (and uncontrollable) black market which is run by gangs/cartels and completely untaxed – just like with the war on drugs – people should work to find a different and more efficient ways to quit- but banning something isn’t going to help. :shrug:

I fear this will just become a new habit, replacing the old one. It may be healthier, but don’t think everyone who tries this will quit. It almost becomes a more addicting habit, because you can experiment with different flavors, mixing and creating different tastes… Let’s just hope it’s as safe as they claim.
