RE: Part 3 of 4: US FDA Deeming and Damning (?) Regulations on the Vapor Industry [No more free samples, bureaucratic hoops and implications] (includes links and sources)

in #politics8 years ago

It's terrifying. I'm always worried that I'm just one slip-up away from being a smoker again. One too many drinks in a social setting and I could be buying packs of squares again in a heartbeat. Regardless of the fact that every time I make new juice I get one step closer to 0mg nic (we drop by about .5mg/ml a week or so), I still feel like I could easily fall off the wagon. Do I want to eventually quit vaping? Sure. But I need to do it my way, I cant be forced. With the additional recent ruling against Kratom for pain, the FDA and big pharma really have been going after even scientifically PROVEN sources of help for the general populace. Grr.

Sort:  

@quantumanomaly they actually just reversed their position on the Kratom issue, so that's a good thing and people will begin seeing it returning to shelves (it's already back on the shelves in Springfield), but the FDA and Big Pharma are so in bed with each other it is scary. Between Big Tobacco and Big Pharma, the FDA receives $1.2B annually from those groups and their lobbyists, and obviously that's a huuuuuuuuge factor in how they make their rulings. Scary, indeed.

Good to hear they reversed on kratom, hopefully the same will happen for vaping!

fingers crossed :)
