FDA:"Right now it's like the wild, wild west in terms of what people are doing"

[aGameOfThrones]

Proposals to officially regulate electronic cigarettes will be announced later today by the Food and Drug Administration, according to the WSJ. The regulations would include a ban on sales to minors and a requirement for health warning labels on packaging. E-cigarettes contain nicotine liquid, which is derived from tobacco -- and that's where the FDA comes in.

"Right now it's like the wild, wild west in terms of what people are doing.."


Importantly, makers would not be allowed to state that e-cigarettes are safer than other tobacco products ( manufacturers need to provide scientific evidence to prove these claims), nor use descriptive language like "light" or "mild" to describe goods. Companies will also be required to submit a "pre-market review application" within two years, although products will be allowed to stay on the market as long as the application is filed. Outlines will also restrict marketing on TV and any efforts to appeal to anyone under 18, although they won't immediately ban the wealth of flavored e-cigarettes that have recently flourished. FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told ABC News: "Right now it's like the wild, wild west in terms of what people are doing, the products are evolving with no regulatory oversight and being marketed in ways that are very worrisome." The full list of regulations will be posted online by the FDA at 9am today.

People are exercising all kinds of freedom. It must be stopped.

Those ecigs need government condoms. It's for the children.

Wild, wild west.........

Wild, wild west.........

A person could go into the general store and purchase cocaine or tincture of opium, children could purchase weapons and ammunition, even dynamite...

People settled matters without lawyers and courts...

What I'd give for a return to those "horrible" days...

See I wasn't worried before, but now I'm worried knowing government is going to have oversight over this market. Anything the government has their hands on turns to crap. They are like a jinx to business ventures.

[CCTelander]

No freedom of any kind can be tolerated. For the children.

[Henry Rogue]

We don't need no stinking legislation, we'll just make regulations.

[JK/SEA]

dammit, we need more safety regulations. Why don't they do something about glass containers. I cut myself the other day on a ketchup bottle i dropped, and now i have to wear this effin band-aid.

How do you know, you might have thought you cut yourself. After all ketchup looks a lot like blood. We should send you to a psychiatrist you may need some anxiety pills. <s>

Just because lawyers and courts are so disgusting today.

But would you agree upon constitutional intent to create unity with other Americans that can enforce the constitution upon courts so lawyers are not needed?

Not sure what a prickly ash bitter is , but I will pass .

Prickly Ash Bitters was known as early as the 1880's, when a picture of Dodge City featured a signpost that had a crude sign saying "Drink Prickly Ash Bitters." This raises the question of how much alcohol was in the product, and how often it was used recreationally rather than medicinally. But then, that is true of many of the Nineteenth Century proprietary medicines.

From The Choctaw Plaindealer, Ackerman, MS, Nov 30, 1888: "Prickly Ash Bitters. One of the most important organs of the human body is the liver. Wehn (sic) it fails to properly perform its function the entire system becomes deranged.... Dyspepsia, constipation, rheumatism, kidney disease, etc are the results unless something is done to assist Nature in throwing off the impurities caused by inaction of a torpid liver. This assistance so necessary will be found in Prickly Ash Bitters! Prickly Ash Bitters Co, St Louis, MO."

From The Green Forest Tribune (Arkansas) Thursday December 28 1899: "Purify the sewers of the body and stimulate the digestive organs to maintain health, strength and energy. Prickly Ash Bitters is a tonic for the kidneys, liver, stomach and bowels. Sold by Harbert & Sheldon."

One type of Prickly Ash Bitters handstamp cancel has been identified on battleship revenues.

Try phrasing this in layman's terms so I'm not questioning your query please..

[jbauer]

Oh come on. This has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with taxation.

[NO_GMOs]

USDA, FDA, and EPA, are like the three stooges, Moe, Larry, and Curly. You can give them intelligent information to act on, but they most likely will do some thing totally stupid.

It's common knowledge there decisions are more political than based on science, they have scientists on the payroll but ether ignore them or just don't understand basic science.

I read one of there bee safety test they approved from Bayer, they should have been laughed off the planet for such stupidity.
