E-cigarette rule coming 'very soon,' U.S. FDA chief says

1) Why?

2) Isn't declaring something to be within your jurisdiction and expecting people to take you seriously kind of like me telling my neighbor his bank account now belongs to me and he has to sit there and take it?

"1) Why?"

Because it's obviously a drug delivery device.

2) Isn't declaring something to be within your jurisdiction and expecting people to take you seriously kind of like me telling my neighbor his bank account now belongs to me and he has to sit there and take it?

Well, if you read the law, Congress declared this type of stuff to be clearly withing the FDA jurisdiction. The FDA has just been pretty slow about their responsibilities. So yes, people should take the Congress and the laws they passed seriously.

But it's the exact opposite of telling you, your neighbor's bank account belongs to you and he has to sit there and take it. What the government has been doing for as long as I remember, is telling me that my bank account belongs to the smokers. That I have to bail them out for their stupidity. And that I have to sit there and take it.

Now I encourage anyone who smokes to switch to e-cigs if they can't quit altogether. I do think it's safer that regular cigarettes. but that's unproven. There's a possibility people will vape more than they smoked. And it already appears that non-smokers are taking up e-vaping because they perceive it's safer.

And my bank account is there at the government disposal to pay for their care and upkeep when and if their decision to smoke or vape comes back to haunt them.
