FDA Deeming Regulations: Release and Next Steps
From: CASAA.com
***
Please keep in mind that this is not the end of the process. CASAA will continue to focus our efforts to develop sensible regulation of vapor products that will have maximum benefit to consumers. The most important thing to remember is that consumers will continue to have access to the wide variety of vapor products for a period of time before the regulations take effect. But, for now, vaping as we know it will continue and we are not done by any means. Keep calm.
CASAA will be investing our collective time and experience over the next few days to review the new rule. This review is not like reading a novel, or even the technical manual for a starship. Federal regulations are written in what we euphemistically call “Reg Speak” — legal language that defines the actions of the rule. It isn’t easy to read because quite often sentences, paragraphs, and whole sections relate to other published documents, like the Family Smoking Prevention & Tobacco Control Act, and the Food, Drug, & Cosmetics Act. These laws require skill to read and determine what is being said. This is not a job for amateurs as it requires years of practice; no single person is likely to get it right all by themselves.
