Another day alive is what I can give myself. These devices have helped me choose a better lifestyle than smoking and I feel healthier. I cough less I'm more active with a greater lung capacity. I can do things now that I couldn't when I smoked. Please allow these devices to stay on the market, thank you.

This is a much safer alternative to traditional cigarettes. Taking away this product will force smokers back to alot of harmful chemicals they could otherwise avoid.

I have smoked for 37 years and have tried every so-called FDA approved means available to quit smoking from Chantix to patches to gum and hypnosis at great expense! E-smoking not only makes sense, but is 100% effective. E-smoking is saving lives!!!!!!

I smoked 3 packs a day and I have been using the E-Cigarette for about 14 days now and have not used a regular Cigarette at all. I am 66 years old and been smoking for 55 years. I cant tell you how much this has helped. I tried every thing else and failed within hours. Please don't ban this product.

I think it is not fair to let tobacco companies sell cigarettes and not let us continue using a product that is helping ween us off of smoking completely

I feel that these e-cigarette devices are a necessary part of our cultural evolution and a welcomed alternative to the health risks of tobacco use. Protecting the merchants ability to market this is not only ethically the right course of action but how I would prefer my tax dollars were spent.

Dear FDA, I have to say that we all KNOW the dangers to smokers. The thing here is if people who already smoke not only do damage to themselves as well as OTHERS. So what if you're not sure what the long term use of nicotine is "unknown" which, by the way I don't believe for a second. No kid is going to go spend 25- 40 dollars to get a start up kit. They aren't going to do it. A lot of start up youth smokers steal their first many cigareettes from their parents. We are complacent with our packs laying around, then it's " I can't find my cigs" Then we spend a couple minutes looking, Just  to open another pack and VIOLA the child now has Cigarettes . No PERSON is going to stop looking for a $40.- $60 fake cig w/ nicotine in it. Kids know THAT TOO ! Hmmm , let's try letting adults smoke themselves to death and see if when e-cigs are more mainstream if the teenage Cigarettes-starters % goes down? Wouldn't that be a hoot !! PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE ! Tax the hell out of it. I am a hard core nicotine addict. Started sealing and smoking at the age of 8 hooked by the age of 12 now 50. This stuff is worse than kicking heroin( I think). When I puffed on my first E-Cigarette I had actual hope that I may be able to actually quit. Slowly but surely. If not , at least I'm not stinking up the neighborhood, making the hole in the ozone bigger. It would be a truth: THE ONLY PERSON I'm hurting is myself. Minus at least 239 cancerous substances that occur while burning a cigarette. Thank you for your time and any thought that you may put into this issue. Regards, Paula Ibonie

It has been proven over and over that the additives that are put into tobacco products kill. Nicotine does not kill. We live in a FREE society. This means that government has no business in PERSONAL LIVES. These devices are LIFE-SAVING devices. Since nicotine is a natural product of tobacco it is NOT a new drug. I understand that the tobacco industry will lose money. I understand that the pharmaceutical industry will lose money, but what's more important - THEIR earnings or OUR lives? Banning these would prove that the FDA believes that MONEY is more important than LIVES, and I won't quit using them. I'll use them anyway and so will everyone else who smokes them. I'll find a way to use my e-cigarette. When the FDA bans these and chooses tobacco and pharmaceutical money over our lives we will use them anyway. Again, this is a FREE SOCIETY. We have a right to do as we wish.

Press Release of Senator Lautenberg

Lautenberg Urges FDA to Remove Electronic Cigarettes from the Market Until Proven Safe

N.J. Senator Says Products Should Require Approval by FDA Prior to Sale in United States

Contact: Lautenberg Press Office (202) 224-3224



March 23, 2009

The Honorable Frank M. Torti
Acting Commissioner
Food and Drug Administration
10903 New Hampshire Avenue
Silver Spring, MD  20903

Dear Acting Commissioner Torti:

I am writing to request that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) take immediate enforcement action against manufacturers of “electronic cigarettes” and take these products off the market until they are proven safe.  In numerous media reports, the FDA has indicated that these products are considered drug-device combinations under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and therefore require prior approval by the FDA before being sold in the United States.  However, e-cigarettes are currently being sold in mall kiosks across the country and on the Internet. 

Electronic cigarettes are being marketed as alternatives to cigarettes and other tobacco products.  They are usually battery-powered devices that use a vapor to deliver nicotine to the smoker.  When the smoker inhales through the device, air flow is detected by a sensor, which activates a heating element that vaporizes a nicotine solution stored in the mouthpiece.  This vapor may also be flavored and provide a physical sensation similar to that of inhaling tobacco smoke. 

Manufacturers and retailers of these products claim that e-cigarettes are safe, and even that these products can help smokers quit traditional cigarettes.  However, there have been no clinical studies to prove these products are effective at helping smokers quit, nor have any studies verified the safety of these products or their long-term health effects. The World Health Organization (WHO), in a release dated September 19, 2008, stated that, “WHO has no scientific evidence to confirm the product’s safety and efficacy.”

For these reasons, I believe the FDA must take immediate action to take these products off the market.   Thank you for your consideration of this request, and I look forward to hearing from you. 


Sincerely,

Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ)


Sen. Lautenberg wants to snuff out electronic cigarettes

Sen. Lautenberg wants to snuff out electronic cigarettes


Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) wants to ban a smoking device that several House Republicans have trumpeted for helping them quit smoking.

The battery-operated device, known as an electronic cigarette, looks like a normal cigarette, but contains no tobacco and instead of smoke emits a nicotine vapor when the user inhales. Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.), Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) and Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) have all been spotted using the device on Capitol Hill.

But the device, which is sold over the Internet and at select mall kiosks, needs to be tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before it is deemed safe for general use, Lautenberg wrote in a letter to the FDA on Monday.

“Manufacturers and retailers of these products claim that e-cigarettes are safe, and even that these products can help smokers quit traditional cigarettes,” he wrote.

“However, there have been no clinical studies to prove these products are effective at helping smokers quit, nor have any studies verified the safety of these products or their long-term health effects.”

Stearns shot back at Lautenberg on Monday, saying that there is no evidence that the device is harmful.

“Before the FDA takes any immediate action, it should put forward scientific evidence that these products are harmful or unsafe,” he said in a statement.

“These e-cigarettes are smokeless and do not produce carcinogens. The nicotine in e-cigarettes is controlled in a capsule that can help in smoking cessation by allowing the user to reduce gradually the nicotine level, hopefully to zero.”

Stearns has sent electronic cigarettes to House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and President Obama to help them quit smoking. He’s been seen using the device in the Speaker’s Lobby, where Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) banned smoking two years ago. Her office did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

A longtime opponent of smoking, Lautenberg authored the law that banned smoking on airplanes and a law that banned smoking in federal facilities that serve children.
