FDA seems proud of cracking down on small businesses for selling low-risk, smoke-free alternatives to cigarettes that are SAVING LIVES. Wonder why the agency doesn't announce that, since it took over tobacco regulation in 2009, it's authorized over 440 DEADLY CIGARETTE PRODUCTS?

An evaluation of 65 studies by Brad Rodu et al:

'These reviews completely demolish all claims of alleged high toxicity of vape aerosols, particularly pronouncements like “contain toxic compounds,” some of which constitute rhetoric devoid of evidence....'
