Sorry that I’m going to write about a different topic but also very important for health, just to say it.
About electronic cigarettes and FDA
If we may have a new device that COULD POSSIBLY be the beginning of the end of TOBACCO, what is the FDA waiting for to CLARIFY the subject? I mean, leave behind the propylene glycol, do you know that ejuices are also made (instead) with Vegetal glycerine?? I MEAN: if ecigs are not safe: WORK TO MAKE THEM SAFE AND SAVE SMOKERS…..don’t leave us thinking that maybe Philip Morris doesn’t like the idea of not selling those PROVEN AND LEGAL tobacco cigarretes. IMPROVE THE QUALITY IF YOU WANT TO; CHANGE THE CONTENT OF THE CARTRIDGES if it’s necessary, but don’t limitate to BAN and say “there are is no proof of safety” DO SOMETHING for a brilliant idea that could change things so much! Don’t let this idea just disappear and be forgotten, Long term consequences? come on!! If SCIENCE WANTS TO the ANSWERS CAN BE FOUND. Thanks.
