"According to Dr. Jonathan Samet, who is director of the USC Institute for Global Health and a member of TPSAC, touching a chair in a room where vaping has occurred could be a health hazard, as the nicotine in exhaled air from a vaper could contaminate the chair and the nicotine could then be absorbed through the skin if someone touches the chair."

Vapor puts nicotine in fucking chairs!
He really said this!

Because this has nothing to do with anything that CASAA does.

But this shit really went down.

Here is the statement from Mitch Zeller himself: http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/NewsEvents/ucm436783.htm

I don't know how much I trust the new ones either.

I quickly searched out the first name Pebbles Fagan and found she still has grants and is doing studies, one on Vaping

http://www.uhcancercenter.org/index.php/about-us/directory/faculty-staff?catid=16&id=121

How is THIS not a conflict of interest?

P. Fagan, Co-Investigator (P. Pokhrel, Principal Investigator of P30 Supplement) NIH//NCI/FDA 3 P30 CA071789-14S4
NIH Revisions Application for Research Relevant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (P30), Project 2: E-cigarette Advertising Exposure, Attitudes, and Use Susceptibility Among Cigarette Smokers (PI of Supplement Pokhrel)
12/01/13-11/30/15
Total Costs: $385,092
This study seeks to test effects of laboratory exposure of real e-cigarette advertisement on the explicit and implicit attitudes towards e-cigarettes as harm reduction products among current smokers.

The reason that I asked is that since 4 members of the panel were removed, any and all work that they performed on the deeming regulations should also be kicked to the curb. I would expect that CASAA champion the effort to have that happen. What good is kicking 4 members of a panel to the curb, if the material work that they did while on the panel is left in place? The 4 new members should have the opportunity to provide their input on the deeming regulation, and therefore the process should start over from scratch using a clean sheet of paper with the new panel in place.

I was not disputing the fact that it actually happened.

I just read the second link provided... Health disparities? WTF... If there were proof that vaping improves the health of minorities, she would side with vaping, but if it only helps improves the health of non minorities, she would go against it? That's a load of crap. If it can be proven to help any portion of the population, she should support it. I think she should be disqualified based on the fact t hat she is biased towards only a segment of the population, and we need someone whose focus is on the whole of the population. Grrrrr...
