NEWS FLASH - Federal Judge: FDA Has No Authority Over Electronic Cigarettes

Posted January 14, 2010 at 1:06 pm at e-cig.org

US District Judge Richard Leon has ruled in favor of Smoking Everywhere and Njoy lawsuit against the FDA. He found that the electronic cigarette suppliers “are substantially likely to succeed on the merits and are likely to suffer irreparable harm if I do not return the parties to the status quo ante, their respective motions for preliminary injunction are GRANTED pending a final disposition of this case.”

Judge Leon goes on to say, “This case appears to be yet another example of the FDA’s aggressive efforts to regulate recreational tobacco products as drugs or devices under the FDCA.”

This is a battle that was won by our side, but the war with the FDA on this matter may still be far from over. Stay tuned for developments on this matter in future posts.

"On behalf of INSTEAD and all of our smoking customers who find the electronic cigarette a great alternative to tobacco cigarettes, thank you Judge Leon."

My Review Of The Green Smoke Starter Kit:

www.greensmoke.com

It's been over a week since my GreenSmoke Basic Starter Kit showed up, and I've had a fair amount of time to try it out and here is my my review of this product.

This is the very first Electronic Cigarette I have ever tried, and it was a gift from my wife to me on my 55th birthday. She knows how badly I've been wanting to quit smoking for many years now, and I've tried many different types of products that didn't perform as well as I had hoped they would.

My wife showed me what she ordered from the GreenSmoke website. When you go there, you can choose from eight different flavors and five different levels of nicotine. The flavors are: apple, coffee, menthol, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and tobacco Marl. The strength of nicotine atomizers you can choose from are: 0mg, 4mg, 6mg, 8mg, and 16mg, which is great if you're trying to slowly cut back on your nicotine intake over a period of time.

After three hours of charging I got my first puff off the unit, and it tasted OK! I made sure not to smoke for a couple of hours to see if it would stop the nicotine craving I was having, and it did. I actually got a pretty good head rush off the first few puffs, just like you would from a tobacco cigarette if you hadn't had one in a while. I was surprised at the amount of smoke that came out of my mouth after a good puff.

And the great part about this product is that I can smoke it inside of our house. Both my wife and I have been smokers all the years we have been together, but we have never smoked inside of our house because we hate the way it makes it smell. We have a screened in smoking area on our back porch overlooking the lake that has a couch and a portable heater for winter and a big fan for summertime. But I loved it that I didn't have to go outside in sub-freezing weather to smoke anymore.

Before this kit arrived, I had cut back to only about ten cigarettes per day. Now that I've been using this electronic cigarette for a little more than a week, I have cut it back to only one or two tobacco cigarettes per day. And when I do smoke one of them now, it makes me feel a bit sick. Plus it's still really cold outside, and that helps to keep me from going out there to smoke.

Overall, GreenSmoke electronic cigarettes got a high rating in just about every category from me, and I highly recommend this brand. The ordering, billing, and shipping went off without a flaw, and the product worked as advertised. I called Customer Service to test how good their service was, and it was very good. They actually convinced me to sign up as an affiliate, to sell their products and get a 15% commission.

This got me thinking, and searching online for other good affiliate programs that will help us to earn a residual income as we near retirement. As I type this, I am awaiting delivery of a new electronic cigarette from NJOY Cigarettes. It didn't arrive today, but I expect it to arrive in tomorrow's mail delivery. I will try it out for a week or two and then review that product here.

So that's my plan...I plan to test out many different brands of electronic cigarettes (and cigars) to see which ones are the best. I will post a review of each one after I have tested them for at least a week or two. I will become an affiliate seller of the brands that rate the highest in my review of them. They say to stick with things you know, and I'm an expert at smoking since I've been at it for almost forty years now. Now I want to become an expert on quitting, and sharing my knowledge with the many, many other people who could use this kind of knowledge.

I was reading another blog today on the subject, and a comment by one man struck me as very true. He said he had never heard of such a thing as an electronic cigarette before, but he was very happy to learn about them since he was really trying to quit and nothing else he had tried had worked for him. That sounded so much like me it wasn't even funny. I now find out that they've been on the market for a number of years already. So how come I haven't ever heard of them before a couple of weeks ago? It's obvious there's a potentially huge market out there, and it's our job to let everyone know about these wonderful products that will do so much to improve the lives of millions of people.

My next subject will be about the NJOY Electronic Cigarette:

Green Smoke Electronic Cigarettes Helped Me To Quit Smoking!

www.greensmoke.com

If you are one of the millions of Americans each year who try to quit smoking, you know there are many tools out there to help you kick the habit. Tools like hypnosis, patches, prescription pills, just to name a few, are available to help break the cycle of dependence. One of the options out there that many of you have probably never heard of, is an electronic cigarette.

At first glance, images may come to mind that this device may be some kind of shock therapy device. In actuality, however, the electronic cigarette is a battery powered atomizer. When it is placed in the mouth, a small processor detects airflow and injects a small amount of fluid from a propylene glycol/nicotine cartridge into the atomizer which vaporizes the liquid. In essence, the electronic cigarette looks and behaves like a regular cigarette but delivers nicotine without dangerous by-products such as arsenic, carbon monoxide and tar. By simulating normal smoking, without the harmful side effects, the electronic cigarette could be a stepping stone to a successfully quit smoking program.

Cold turkey isn't an effective strategy to achieve your New Year's resolution to quit smoking. Most people need some sort of assistance to end the habit. If you've made a New Year's resolution to quit cigarettes, electronic cigarettes can provide you with a valuable tool you need to cut cigarettes out of your life for good.

It may seem counter-intuitive that smokeless cigarettes can actually help you quit smoking, but these smokeless cigarette devices give you a phased approach to quitting. By taking a strategic approach to the quitting process, you'll put yourself in a better position to follow through on your plans to quit smoking.

Electronic cigarette devices allow you to measure the amount of nicotine that you want to consume. You can start by switching from traditional cigarettes to an electronic smoking device that has a comparable level of nicotine. Once you've grown accustomed to the device, you can begin to lower the amount of nicotine that you take in. Eventually, you can choose cartridges that contain no nicotine at all. As soon as you've ended the nicotine cravings, you can end the smoking cravings as well.

As you enact your plan to quit by switching to electronic cigarettes, you'll reap the immediate benefits of a safer, cleaner smoking experience. Electronic cigarettes don't produce any actual smoke. When you use an electric cigarette, the smoke you consume is actually water vapor. This vapor doesn't contain any of the harmful byproducts that are found in traditional cigarette smoke. The vapor is odorless and it evaporates quickly. You can smoke your electronic cigarette device anywhere, and you don't have to worry about the smell or the mess that you typically have with traditional cigs.

So if your New Year's resolution is to quit smoking, let electronic cigarettes help you realize your goal. By choosing a safe and cleaner smoking experience, you'll immediately make your habit a healthier one. After you've made the switch, you can start phasing nicotine out of your life and stay smoke free for good.

Greensmoke is truly the best E-cig on the market today. I've tried other companies E-cigs and they just did not cut it for me. One company even made me send back their product because there was a manufacturing error! With Greensmoke, you are getting the highest vapor volume and the best way to happy and clean while you smoke. Try it for yourself! You won't be disappointed!

After seeing the other e-cigs with the mix yourself and multi piece junk, I choose to take a chance on green smoke. I am so glad I did. Two pieces screw together and that's it. I love my new USB electric cigarette. I smoke and love the vanilla. Thank you green smoke.

Fred S. Fleming, AZ
2 days after I ordered it the package arrived (very timely, very nice). It works perfectly, I am so very satisfied with it and pleased with your product and my decision to give it a try. Thank you!

Scott, FL
I received my order this morning. WOW! what a great product! I LOVE this thing. I've only tried one battery so far, but it seems like it came fully charged (or at least charged enough for me to be smoking for the last hour and still going strong). I'm glad I didn't have to charge it first, as I was dying to try it.
Thank you so much for the excellent service and product. Look for many orders from me in the future. If I can generate enough interest in this, I'm going to join your affiliate program. I've already been talking to people about it.
Thanks again, my friend. I am one VERY happy customer!

Tracy Clinger, NC
Ordered on Thursday, received in Hawaii on Saturday! Works as advertised and I feel satisfied. For me, this works especially since it smokes just right without odors. Feels a bit heavy but this is a good solid feel, not bulky. Easy to use, charging is a breeze. What more can I say? I like it so much I am going to sell them!

I’ve bought several units over the past couple of years, but the one I’m most happy with has this new two piece construction. Of all the vendors only Green Smoke seems to have this type of construction, and also has them regularly in stock – Greensmoke.

Janice, CA
I took a chance and ordered this product after speaking with a representative. I wanted to smoke where ever I wanted. Now I can smoke at my desk at work and at the table in a restaurant without being ostracized. Who knows, soon I may not be buying anything other than Greensmoke! Thanks for such a great product.

I first heard about Green Smoke electric cigarette two weeks ago, when someone handed me a flier by the mall. I smoke about a pack a day, and with the economy today, the financial toll is getting too high… When I saw I could save money on my cigarettes, I decided to check it out. The idea sounded strange at first, but the benefits added up- save money, smoke almost anywhere and no ash or tar. It made sense. I placed the order for the social smoker, and got it 3 days later. I’ve been Green Smoking since, and I love it. I must say I’m impressed, and so is everyone who sees me Green Smoking.

Dave, NY
Green Smoke is Awesome! I used the calculator on their gadget page, I can’t believe how much money I’ve been spending on my smoke all this time. I like the Green Smoke e-cigarette look and the feel of the nicotine. I switched to the 8mg and I get all the nicotine I need. 5 Stars to Green Smoke.

Michelle, NJ
I got the Green Smoke for my mom, but I couldn’t wait for the holiday to give it to her… Finally we are both happy! She’s happy that she can now have a smoke after a meal in a restaurant and in the office. And I’m happy I can breathe when driving in her car. Highly recommended.
