I do not know if SM had a chance to supplement their application with this article, but even if they did not do so, surely the FDA at least did a PubMed search before ruling just to see if they missed anything important?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546454644434453032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-49449483486168158422016-12-22T01:02:07.742-05:002016-12-22T01:02:07.742-05:00I have hope that our newly elected President Donal...I have hope that our newly elected President Donald Trump, will drain this the worst stinking swamp that has ever existed and is responsible for the deaths of Millions of Americans from Tobacco Harm Reduction, to Anxiety medications and all Nutrition.

I think there is little doubt that the decision will reinforce the egregious level of misinformation on the relative risks of smokeless tobacco. The agency’s own research tells them that the vast majority of Americans do not believe that any smokeless product is less hazardous than smoking. A Kafka-like ruling on a without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt massively less hazardous alternative to cigarettes continues the misinformation, and when the alternative is continued smoking that misinformation kills.<br /><br />Also, what is the message to other companies with reduced risk alternatives to cigarettes? Even Swedish Match, after spending two and a half years and millions of dollars on an application seeking recognition of the blindingly obvious, merely causes extreme mental calisthenics by a status quo protecting FDA. So, for others, what’s the use?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929887332603506205noreply@blogger.com
