You are right. I have been reading the whole document. It's a mess to say the least. Very poorly written, very contradicting and most of all, constantly repeating "We do not have enough data" yet they feel the need to impose strict regulations.

The grandfather date of February 15, 2007 was set because they found one, I repeat, ONE, Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) on the market. Thus, any "newly deemed product" will have to either be almost identical to that ONE ENDS to become compliant through SE application or go through a very costly and lengthy application to become compliant in 3 years time.

The fact is, 99.9% of the Vape products on the market right now can not meet the SE application as they are nothing like that one ENDS that was available before 2007 as it was an E-cig manufactured/owned by big tobacco. This is why the date never changed as big tobacco lobbied to have it not changed, because they own the patent to that technology.

The saving grace is in the HR 2058 to change the grandfather date to suit the newer technology in Vaping that has come out since 2007.

The document was a complete joke as they discredited Public Health England's studies.

So, the United Kingdom has totally endorsed vaping and the United States is trying to ban it, based off the same science and facts. Someone is wrong. We all know who.
