The Food and Drug Administration is using it’s power to enforce onerous regulations that will stifle industry growth and devastate small businesses.
More specifically, the FDA is seeking to curb usage of e-cigarette and vapor products through the use of newly-published rules. If the rules are enforced to the letter, as they almost certainly will be, 99% of such products could become prohibited goods.
This is due to something called the Pre-Market Tobacco Applications process. Originating in anti-tobacco legislation passed in 2009, the PMTA has finally been formalized by the FDA and is set to go into effect in two years.
Under this process, businesses interested in producing and selling tobacco products will have to petition the FDA for permission to do so. Unsurprisingly, this entails navigating mountains of red tape and paying millions – yes, millions – of dollars before a single product can hit the market place.
This is hardly a glitch in the process: on the contrary, the whole idea is to make it next to impossible for anybody besides the wealthiest tobacco companies to get into the business.

It’s also caused by inhaling the cheese they put on the bags of popcorn and those are only 2 things that can cause popcorn lung, not to mention that u can get it from smoking cigarettes too and it’s much easier to get from cigs than anything else. I read an article about 2 or 3 months ago about it cuz I vape and everyone is hollering those things will give u cancer. Everything will give u cancer nowadays so whatever is what I say lol.
Yeah except the main ingredients in juice is Vegetable Glycerin, Propolyn Glycol, Flavoring, and Nicotine IF you want it. Tell me where Diacetyl is in those ingredients. Oh that’s right, it’s not.
Take your lies and propaganda and GTFO.
Something that is good for the American people so they quit smoking and yet they go after businesses that sell this. How stupid – or should I say BIg Pharma had something to do with this.
Smoking isn’t that cool andnits really okay for the government to make better choices about smoking laws and such things. I hope they set laws in place for the refusal of selling of tobacco in certain places that would be a great way of getting smoking under control. ###less cig smoke ain’t so bad
