What’s the latest with the FDA and e-cigs? They gonna ban them or what? I thought they lost the case against NJOY?

It is said they lost, but it may take a long time to enforce. They are still impouding if they like.

Just to clarify, it was the FDA who lost, but they are appealing and continue to make life difficult until the final appeal is heard. Hopefully these games will all be over soon. The FDA has no right, or reason for that matter to do what they are doing. Seems like it’s all just a game of dirty politics.

Judge Overrules FDA On E-Cigarettes!!

why is the FDA so against e-cigarettes?

here was the judges’ reasoning, via the New York Times:

“This case appears to be yet another example of F.D.A.’s aggressive efforts to regulate recreational tobacco products as drugs or devices,” Judge Leon wrote.

With the passage of landmark tobacco legislation last year, he added, the Food and Drug Administration’s new tobacco division will be able to regulate the contents and marketing claims of e-cigarettes in the same way it is about to begin regulating traditional tobacco products. But the agency’s drug division cannot ban the devices, the judge ruled.

One of the ways that the government managed to pass its recent tobacco reform bill was by enlisting big tobacco’s support. So the FDA and big tobacco have a symbiotic relationship. The government gets billions of dollars from excise tax revenue on and lawsuits related to cigarettes. Big tobacco gets regulation that makes it harder for smaller companies to compete. So the FDA needs to keep up its end of the bargain here and not allow a threat like e-cigarettes to take hold in the U.S. — even if they did turn out to be good for the American people.
