FDA to BAN E-Cigarettes? WTF?
The FDA, in an attempt to “protect” your health, is working to ban E-Cigarettes. What kind of bullshit is this?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration isn’t so sure. E-cigarettes have not been approved as a quitting method like the nicotine patch or gum, or as an alternative to smoking like chewing tobacco.
“FDA has reviewed several ‘electronic cigarettes’ and determined that those products were making ‘drug’ claims,” said Susan Small, a public affairs technician in the New England District FDA, in a written statement. “We have detained and refused several such products on the grounds that they were unapproved new drugs.”
The FDA considers e-cigarettes to be “adulterated devices” and is reviewing the products on a case-by-case basis, Small said.
The World Health Organization in a statement last year said e-cigarettes are not a legitimate therapy for smokers trying to quit and questioned the product’s safety.
The American Cancer Society has also weighed in.
“There is no strong evidence that shows they improve one’s chances of quitting,” said Kate Rogers, state director for the American Cancer Society.
I order my e-cigarettes here and suggest you do the same QUICKLY before the FDA tells you that you can’t use a HEALTHY alternative to smoking.
