The question is:- Is this the lobbying result of big tobacco (BT)who see vaping/juul as an 'existential threat' We know nicotine is a mild and slightly habit forming drug that is deemed so mild in risk and effect as to attract no limiting regulations, like Rx needed and driving while.... It seems to me that Juul initially wanted to mimic smoking cosmetically as well as pharmacologically viz:- the vapor cloud additives initially added to create clouds of white smoke when used - like the outlawed red tipped candy cigarettes sold until some decades ago that kids put in their mouths until adult attention was drawn - whereupon 'you et it' Ha Ha. So Juul acted idiotically IMHO and all their efforts came to nought - as we saw today. BT smiles and girds it's loins for the battle to come!! All that is needed is a safe delivery vehicle - suckable pills seem to work, same with holders you draw through that disperse a metered amount into the air stream. None of these involve vapor clouds - some have heated filaments that volatise a carrier solvent along with nicotine (a risk as it involves inhaling the volatiles - which has already hurt some people. The thing is:- does the FDA want less combustion based smoking for safety (= a good) or do they want less vaping with inhaled additives (= a good for BT) So nicotine content will be limited, and pepperminty Kools will also be limited.(= Bad for BT). I do not smoke at all, but tend to be live and let live in the case of pills/lozenges by mouth. I am warier about anything that gets nicotine into the inhaled air stream with a carrier solvent unless that solvent is carefully assessed and tested to be 100% safe. Some of the earlier carriers caused deaths via carrier solvent! https://www.healthline.com/health-news/lung-vaping-disease-now-called-evali https://www.healthline.com/health-news/lung-vaping-disease-n... There is some linkage to THC vaping as the same diluent/carrier is often used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_vaping_lung_illness_outbreak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_vaping_lung_...
