Nice... and that's exactly what I said. The replacement will continue his vision...
Sharpless was an enthusiastic supporter of Gottlieb’s aggressive push to increase tobacco and e-cigarette regulations.

Interesting take; or... "Tough Act to Follow"

#FDA is committed to reducing death and disease from tobacco, and ending youth use, until my last day at the agency - and then for all the decades thereafter. We have no more impactful tool to reduce mortality than our tool of tobacco product regulation.

So... can share price rise again, please?
But if he has any integrity at all and cares for his kids and the future of other kids, he'll have a few parting regulatory salvos for BT that might insure an end to nicotine addiction, documented via the man's own words, just yesterday.
Zelda Secures Australian Patent For Novel Prognostic Marker For Breast Cancer
Zelda awarded patent for a novel prognostic biomarker for breast cancer
Builds on Zelda’s world-class intellectual property portfolio for medicinal cannabis and cancer therapy
Prognostic marker helps predict patient survival and the probability of disease recurrence
Complements Zelda’s ongoing programmes to develop cannabis-based therapies for cancer
Patent provides protection until 2038
Zelda Therapeutics Ltd (ASX: ZLD, OTCQB: ZLDAF): is pleased to announce the grant of a new patent in Australia covering a novel method to predict patient disease-free survival. The patent provides protection until 2038.
The patent (AU2017346940A) entitled “Prognostic method and kits useful in said method” details a method for detecting levels of expression of a novel receptor complex containing HER2 and CB2. HER2 is a well-recognised marker of aggressive breast cancer while CB2 is a key receptor in the endocannabinoid system. Together they form a novel receptor complex that represents a prognostic marker for HER2 positive breast cancer.
Zelda’s Managing Director, Dr Richard Hopkins commented “We’re delighted with the allowance of this patent, which supports Zelda’s strategy of building a world-class intellectual property portfolio and the development of cannabis- based products. Further news is expected as this patent family progresses through the international examination phase.
I’d also like to acknowledge the work of Professor Cristina Sanchez and her team who generated the data that supported this patent. This work was recently published in the prestigious peer-reviewed Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This outcome highlights the benefit of Zelda’s approach of partnering with world-leading cannabis researchers.
Importantly, Professor Sanchez’s discovery of a novel prognostic biomarker, will complement our ongoing efforts develop to cannabis-based medicines to treat breast cancer."

So in other words, we're still on track for something big happening in March, as predicted.
Can't say I like this drop.
Clearly, the science is still there.
It is also true... a man would only want to leave his legacy in the hands of someone who will see it through. The panic is premature.
I can say from experience, the pull to be a family man can temper career ambitions. Scott is a cancer survivor. He has a sense of how precious time is. Let's see what he does... the 'why' does matter, don't get me wrong... but let's see who replaces him.
Let's hear from XXII in the coming days, and the FDA in the coming (few) weeks.

I did. And I believe stating March is inclusive of the entire month of March in the English language, happyjohn. Wish me luck on my grand prophecy.
E-cigarettes are creating a generation of nicotine addicts, top scientists warn
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/03/01/e-cigarettes-creating-generation-nicotine-addicts-top-scientists/
2/21/19 Statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., on additional steps by the agency to support the development of safe and effective novel nicotine replacement therapies to help smokers quit cigarettes
https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm631748.htm
As we look toward the future and the possibility of a world where combustible cigarettes could no longer create or sustain addiction, these guidances are part of comprehensive steps to pave the way for new, safe and effective products that can help currently addicted smokers quit the deadliest form of nicotine delivery.
"...legislation to amend the definition of Tobacco Products"
http://spacecoastdaily.com/2019/02/sen-debbie-mayfield-files-tobacco-prevention-legislation-to-include-all-recreational-nicotine-products/
Senator Debbie Mayfield (Melbourne – R) has filed legislation to amend the definition of Tobacco Products in Florida Statute to include all recreational nicotine products, including electronic cigarettes and liquid nicotine.
You got it.
Nicotine while pregnant alters genes, study suggests

"Exposure to nicotine during pregnancy through maternal smoking or nicotine replacement therapy is associated with adverse birth outcomes as well as several cognitive and neurobehavioral deficits."
Hey Gottlieb, move your ass.
Someone who has Twitter, Tweet him...
Apparently our PMTA was accepted for review... so, MRTP should be accepted for review soon, too?
Also, Altria received MRTP status on their snuff...
FDA making moves
I said it before... I sense March will be meaningful
"If you're vaping you're 4x more likely to smoke."
Great SuperBowl Ad... now let's make some $

Thanks
Yes - you and Lnp are right on

FDA is failing to protect kids from e-cigarettes, American Lung Association says
https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/30/health/tobacco-grades-fda-american-lung-association/index.html
Some of the harshest criticism is reserved for the US Food and Drug Administration, which received a grade of "F" from the lung association, primarily due to a "lack of action," said Thomas Carr, an author of the new report and national director of policy at the American Lung Association.
The FDA believes it "has made tremendous progress" on tobacco and nicotine regulation "with ambitious public health goals for 2019."
E-Cigarettes Are Effective at Helping Smokers Quit, a Study Says
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/30/health/ecigarettes-nicotine-smoking-quit.html
Fair enough- hear you.
Main point I'm trying to make- it's a fallacy to believe XXII's IP isn't worthy of anything, just because BT appears to be ignoring us, or making other moves, at this time. To use esad's verbiage, I think we're around the 4th inning now.
Again, Aurora seemed to find value in Anandia... a close partner- patents of which we still "own" in the USA. Our value will be recognized soon- I say March. I hope I'm wrong and it's earlier.
Does feel good though that the prices of MO, PM, and BTI continue to drop...
It's a fallacy to believe we're wrong, because BT is making other moves...
"MO also received bad regulatory news recently. FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said he would consider pulling e-cigarettes from the market if companies continued marketing aggressively to youth.
MO took a large stake in the e-cigarette maker Juul in December, and this news from the FDA is going to hinder Juul’s growth, making MO’s investment much less valuable."

Altria has clearly given the FDA the middle finger and most of the big tobacco companies have stated they are increasingly less interested in selling cigarettes, that it's a declining industry.
They don’t have much to deal with
My friend, their tech is basically worthless... 10 patents... a million bucks investment for exclusivity in the US... they're leveraging all options as they should be... their share price is about to hit the can... couple months, more or less? I say March.
How much was our collaborator, Anandia sold for, to Aurora?
IMO- BAT deal failed because our value wouldn't be recognized by them monetarily... we're more valuable than most have come to think on this Board
I'm not one to publicize lofty goals, but, gonna get my trowel now and begin my full-time gardening apprenticeship... early retirement...
Honestly, looks like desperation. Altria is throwing darts now.

I mean, a million bucks, to have exclusive rights to their tech? They're exploring ALL options to counteract their inevitable doomsday... Desperation...
This should be viewed as a confidence booster in XXII...

Comment on my Anandia remark?
Don't forget our work with Anandia which was acquired by Aurora. It should be viewed as a testament of our IP quality. Isn't the CEO of Anandia now the Cheif Science Officer or something over there? I think we just need to see some action, with hemp... CBD... medicinals.
Personally, I'm all-in for the nicotine play.
Here's Nathan's response:
Canopy Growth just received the same license from NY that we already have. They are talking about growing hemp in NY for agricultural/industrial purposes. In contrast, as a biotech company, we are using our license to pursue biotech activities including variety development. … we may create the varieties that Canopy Growth someday uses in its plantings. Perhaps more importantly, we are working to create hemp varieties that have medicinal uses which is a much higher value use than hemp as an agricultural commodity.
Of course, our objective has never been to be a commodity grower of hemp or to invest $150 million to grow “tons of hemp” as is apparently the plan for Canopy Growth.
Wow- good find. I hope so? I emailed IR. We better be doing something as we were talking to the Governor... right?
From Oct. 2017: "To take advantage of the favorable hemp climate in New York, 22nd Century has applied for a New York hemp grower license and looks forward to expanding its Buffalo, NY-based laboratory to include important new hemp research."
Imagine we're licensing tech to Canopy? That would be nice...
