Consumers prefer to smoke cannabis, not take single-compound pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products. For the FDA to oversee cannabis approvals, Congress may need to act.
Seems like if they wanted to shut it down, rescheduling it first would be an unnecessary step since it’s currently schedule one.
It will be a messy transition, as the article points out. But I doubt the point is to shut it down. Especially considering the political climate around cannabis and the messaging from the White House.
Unlikely. The public and political agendas are just the opposite for the two substances: most people support the expansion of cannabis products and oppose the expansion of nicotine products.
safe effective nicotine consumption were generally supported by the public too and was being ingrained in the culture in movies and tv
now it is combustible cigarettes with alcohol being heavily promoted again as well in television and film
if the US does not stop voting in senile past retirement age religious right leaning presidents who view any alteration in the citizen’s conscience it might not ever change or get better
As flying squid helped me see, safer doesn’t mean safe.
Nicotine alone can cause cancer and while vaping is ‘safer’ than tobacco, in that it’s less carcinogenic, it is still a carcinogen. And because of the ROA, vaping is actually more addictive than cigarettes.
the synthetic nicotine being produce is done with green chemistry meaning no heavy metals used in synthesis
with the nicotine being lab made no ground pollutants such as lead and other heavy metals are present just like fake vanilla extract which most seasoning coming from India with polluted soil
also less soil less environmental impact
the ingredients have gotten safer over time as well also leading to changes in other industries
hugely better product both health and environmental and all around
not to mention not have the ill effects of second hand smoke
my own lung capacity was around 80% and dropping during the years was consuming combustible nicotine and cannabis products but now is above 90% had my lungs checked by a doctor
I agree, it’s safer. But how can we know it’s safe below a certain amount for lifelong vapers when there hasn’t been enough time to do a long-term study?
Wouldn’t (and I say this as a long-term cannabis vaporizer myself) putting anything into the lungs on a regular basis other than air be inherently unsafe long-term?

but rescheduling allows them to add regulations just like when this happened to ejuices

What evidence do you have that there is such a thing?
the synthetic nicotine being produce is done with green chemistry meaning no heavy metals used in synthesis
with the nicotine being lab made no ground pollutants such as lead and other heavy metals are present just like fake vanilla extract which most seasoning coming from India with polluted soil
also less soil less environmental impact
the ingredients have gotten safer over time as well also leading to changes in other industries
hugely better product both health and environmental and all around
not to mention not have the ill effects of second hand smoke
my own lung capacity was around 80% and dropping during the years was consuming combustible nicotine and cannabis products but now is above 90% had my lungs checked by a doctor
lightyears healthier
None of that has to do with your claim, and it is also more claims instead of evidence.
Where’s your evidence that there is a safe level of nicotine consumption?
Nevermind this, see my reply to squid below. I was operating under the wrong view that nicotine by itself is not cancer causing.
Safer is not safe.
I agree, it’s safer. But how can we know it’s safe below a certain amount for lifelong vapers when there hasn’t been enough time to do a long-term study?
