The\u00a0FDA\u00a0is unbelievable.\u00a0 Another life saving innovation they attempted to ban.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Ecigs, literally saved the life of my wife and the FDA tried to ban them.\u00a0\u00a0The details of my wife’s story can be seen here.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Keep Smoking Stop Dying<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

This attempted ban was\u00a0not<\/em> because of any actual “health issue”\u00a0but rather they tried to define them as\u00a0“drug transport devices”, as if they were trying to protect the public from drug abuse.\u00a0 If they really cared about the health issue, wouldn’t they have tried to ban the real purveyor of death i.e. tobacco companies, rather than the non lethal competition???\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Basically, an ecigarette is simply a cigarette without hundreds of cancer causing agents, i.e. no tobacco.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Does anyone really think that they did this for any other reason than to support the business interests of Tobacco?<\/em><\/span>\u00a0 Or was it simply because they wanted to control one more aspect of our lives.\u00a0 It was one of the other and\u00a0neither are laudable options<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
WHAT IS AN ECIGARETTE?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
For anyone that doesn’t know, an cigarette is simply an inexpensive electronic device that looks like a cigarette .\u00a0\u00a0It combines glycerine and nicotine that when inhaled transports the\u00a0combination\u00a0of substances\u00a0through\u00a0a heated\u00a0“atomatizer”.\u00a0 The result is a harmless smoke like myst which\u00a0when inhaled provides the user with the effects of a normal cigarette.\u00a0 However, it has no minor side affects like cancer, emphysema, heart disease, etc…<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And the FDA tried to ban it!\u00a0 They would rather you die, smoking a\u00a0cigarette.<\/span><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
This may sound like an advertisement, but it absolutely is\u00a0not.\u00a0 It saved my wife’s life and I hope it might save yours or that of someone you love.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

An ecig provides everything that a smoker is after, except without the disease…<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
