@Heartsonycgr regulating cigarettes was carefully structured wasn't it? Specifically the industry very much didn't want nicotine regulated because THAT'S the business model, addict people then sell them things that feed that addiction. It's amazing to me that FDA got anything regulated in that space but less amazing knowing that they didn't get at nicotine.

I like FDA but beating big tobacco will take a national effort.

@Heartsonycgr I'm in but I'm rapidly learning that health care communication is something that I don't understand well. For instance, why is any company that directs kids to purchase vape pens that contain nicotine a viable company anywhere in the US? Sure a person CAN use to stop smoking but there's research showing that that's not the primary target of the sale, it's future, addicted users, that's it, that's the plan for execs.
