E-Cigarette Regulation Still In Question As FDA Passes The Buck
From: BlastingNews
Quitting Smoking As A New Years Resolution May Be Deterred By Misinformation On E-Cigarettes
The FDA has “passed the buck” on deeming regulations of e-cigarettes to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), which operates under the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Why does this need to be looked at under the Office of Management and Budget?
The e-cigarette regulations, and their likely effects, are of great interest to politicians and the health sector in the United States. Politicians have the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) funds to protect, and are saying e-cigarettes should be regulated for “the children”. That’s political speak for “we are addicted to tobacco sales“. Passing the buck seems to be the clue.
