What "tests"? Cited but not cited....typical FDA BS.....
"Tests show that e-cigarettes contain "known carcinogens and toxic chemicals," including diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze, officials announced Wednesday during a teleconference. The FDA notes that the products have no warning labels."
So even if this were true - which is NOT proved, nor is it documented anywhere...is the FDA just worried about the lack of warning labels? Otherwise, what the HELL is the difference between what they are spouting here about e-cigs and regular cigarettes they have NOT banned?
This is the total hypocrisy of the FDA....Gestapo mentality to support corporate greed...

FDA now wants to ban e-cigarettes
Here they go again...the good old FDA is now worried about smoker's health. This will be the first time, EVER, that this has happened. Too bad that the same methodology used to allow cigarette manufacturers to ADD addictive and carcinogenic substances to tobacco, is now used to decide something they have NOT studied, MUST be bad - and banned. Following the money has never been easier.
FDA Chantix Handling Betrayed Public Health
This is what the FDA has had to offer smokers who do want to quit. A rushed-through drug that they then found causes aggression and depression and actually does NOT even stop people from smoking. Patches? They don't work - period. A study was just released several months ago that specifically stated that nicotine patches have less than one-half the nicotine they would need to aid smokers, even if you buy the nicotine patch process as a non-smoking aid. I don't. But they keep selling them - a two week supply running somewhere around $58 - with a manufacturing cost of $10...follow the money - and the FDA smoke and mirrors....
FDA "Hazy"...
This was their level of comment back in March 2009. They were hazy for sure, but this article again promotes the myth that nicotine patches are "safe and highly successful" to stop smoking. Now, since there has been plenty of time for Pfizer and others to work the FDA about e-cigarettes, the rumblings begin to get louder and more aggressive. Perhaps the FDA en masse is taking Chantix?
The latest from the FDA...
It worries me that the FDA - the minions of tobacco companies, patch and gum makers, and pharmaceutical pill-pushers, has taken aim at e-cigarettes. Why?
No more "smokes" - no more revenue for the State and Fed - no more patches needed...
Because after smoking for 35 years, I stopped smoking 11 days ago - three days after receiving my e-cigarette package.
I haven't had the slightest desire for a smoking cigarette since. Is my body still getting nicotine? Yes. But am I getting the 3500+ approved chemicals, 200+ known by the FDA to be carcinogenic, in each non-smoke e-cigarette? No. Does the FDA care that I've been able to stop smoking where patches and gum have repeatedly failed? No.
After buying useless patches for nearly three months - am I having to support Pfizer by buying more of them for what - life? No. Does the FDA care about this? YES!
The fact that I've been successful this far is bad, bad, bad news for the FDA. Someone actually stopped buying the cigarettes that fund so much of the state and federal programs no one wants anyway by punitive taxation on cigarettes.
According to my calculator, I've now NOT smoked 269 cigarettes and saved $66.00 - entirely thanks to the e-cigarette. My e-cigarette costs will be covered very soon with this kind of financial recovery.
Do I plan on using the e-cigarette for life? No. I don't. But I have removed some of the major habits, chemicals, and obstacles by quitting "analog" cigarettes - a step in the right direction.

UPDATE - Still not smoking after 1 month and 12 days, thanks to the electronic cigarettes.
1078 not smoked and nearly $270.00 saved.....

The AP - Aiding big Pharma
"Homeopathic drugs may harm"
So this is the headling on a story from the Associated Press relating to recent problems with Zicam.
First, I'm not sure how issues with Zicam automatically mean the purported (by the headline), all homeopathic drugs may harm. McDonald's hamburgers will harm if you eat too many for too long. The daily evidence is hard to miss. But I don't see the AP slamming those en mass - pun intended...
Second, somehow or another this now means that ALL homeopathic remedies are up for grabs as being bad for you.
Any consumer ignorant enough to believe this is probably taking 3 or more big Pharma drugs already.
This is biased reporting and a biased headline geared to scare the same people who are already taking stuff they haven't bothered to research. It is also to grant a headline to the FDA who in their perfect world, would outlaw vitamins since a healthy person taking them needs no other "drug."
Read between the lines....
