, at the same time that the companies had promised to increase efforts to keep kids from getting hooked on e-cigarettes. Miffed by the transaction, Gottlieb had summoned the companies to Washington to provide answers.
Gottlieb said the FDA is working on defining exactly what constitutes a pod-based product in case it needs to temporarily ban them. Sales of vaping pods could resume if manufacturers show that their devices are geared toward adult cigarette smokers trying to quit, and not kids. “The FDA is going to have to very carefully calculate its action against the entire category of pod-based products,” Gottlieb said.
Separately, San Francisco officials proposed legislation Tuesday that would forbid the sale of e-cigarettes in the city and ban companies such as Juul from occupying city-owned property, the San Francisco ChronicleThe FDA last week released a draft guideline on its much-anticipated plan to limit the sales of most flavored e-cigarettes.
The Tobacco lobbyists are working very hard on The Hill. I was told by a salesperson in a Vap shop that BigTobacco are fighting hard to bankrupt Vap companies starting with banning the nicotine liquid.
Smoke a pack of Camels, kids! - Signed, Big Tobacco
US_FDA Please do!
Meanwhile 70,000 Americans died from opioids...
How stupid can one government be? Vaping is 95% safer than smoking. NINETY-FIVE PERCENT. Teen vaping is vastly preferable to teen smoking.
Horrible Idea
But keep the pot shops open?
Seriously... What good is the FDA at this point?
That should work as well as the War on Drugs.
We must do everything we can to increase teen cigarette consumption!
Yeah kids, stick with cloves. You’ll look cooler.
Guess we need to get rid of those swisher sweets while we are at it too huh you telling me blueberry flavored cigs are okay but vaping isn't
Has the FDA done ANY studies on vaping yet? They act like this ish HASN'T been on the market for better than 10 years.
'FDA ignores the 480,000 Americans who die annually from smoking-related disease and instead considers banning the only safe, healthy and by far the most effective means of smoking cessation ever devised, all based on a lie, leaving only the FDA-APPROVED 93% FAILURE RATE methods'
US_FDA I have been off cigs for years bc of vaping. Vaping is medicinal as it helps me stay functional. People do not need to pay for a Rx for milder forms of anxiety / depression when they can just vape. Not cool to remove pods. Not cool to remove options from a free market.
It seems to me that the reason it's under your nose is that they'd usually be smoking cigarettes (out of sight?) Vaping is so much safer than the cocktail of 400 drugs (that are in each cigarette). I've vaped my way off cigarettes! VapeWorks!
I was smoking cigarettes at 17. Why didn’t they yank those too and i wouldn’t be needing the pods.
Back to cigarettes then 👍
So just smoke cigs kids
Abt time!!!
So back to cigarettes?
sistercrow Then ban cigarettes as well. Teens smoke them too.
Teen vaping is epidemic in TheOC ... I've seen it first hand. Also, those small vapes can be easily kept hidden and bystanders don't even have a chance avoid 2ndhand vaping. This is a huge publichealth crisis. smokingkills
Good!
What a fucking joke.
Please please please be true
Ironically, teen usage of alcohol is 50% higher than vaping, so are we going to yank alcohol off the market?
Because unregulated bootleg nicotine vaping pods is better? We just had 2 issues in Santa Clarita with Teens and bootleg pods. Get a clue.
Better they pick up vaping than real cigarettes.
