E-Cigarette Update

By Matthew Bandyk

Posted: May 21, 2009

My last post on the FDA and e-cigarettes promised an update.  Well, I haven't seen any official statements from the FDA about any changes to their policy on e-cigarettes. But some reports show that the policy is and has effectively been a ban. For example, this:

A Florida company that imports and distributes so-called electronic cigarettes filed suit yesterday against the Food and Drug Administration, claiming the agency is illegally blocking imports of its product into the United States.

The suit, filed by Smoking Everywhere in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, argues that the FDA has overstepped its regulatory authority by banning shipments of the devices and insisting they need to go through the drug approval process.

That said, If you are going to buy, I would only buy one from your local smoke shop or Cigana the #1 seller of e-cigs at: CiganaDirect.com ... Because, they have the most to lose if you get hurt, so they won't sell you the low quality products. That where I bought one for my mom, because she refuses to quit. GL

Follow the money....

eCigs are a clean, green, nicotine machine and a huge threat to Big Tobacco, Big Pharma and the medical establishment. Millions more will be doomed to suffer and die if they are denied the freedom to a safer alternative like eCigs and eCigarillos.
