As we adhere to the intense unified mitigation of CORONAVIRUS with practices such as frequent hand washing , maintaining social distances. etc. What would happen if the same level of energies were applied to reducing the 6 million lives lost to tobacco????

Tobacco addiction is due to nicotine in the product. This addiction can be effectively treated safely WITHOUT resorting to vaping. Vaping nicotine has NOT been proven safe for quitting effectiveness by any of the accepted forms of clinical reliability. Possible outcome: Pine Box

Contrary to the vaping alternative of retreating to cigarettes is a fallacy. There are clinically proven and effective programs; pharmacological and behavior modification that will rid one’s life of a horrific deadly addiction. Vaping nicotine only continues it. Seek help.

With the escalating deaths and pulmonary health risks associated with vaping and the human experiment without consent; it is time to ban the products until valid clinical trials are conducted and FDA approval is granted.

Intensive scientific search for eitiologic factor(s) causing the severe pulmonary disease in vaping. Early evidence that (PH/VG) used in both nicotine and THC cocktails damage surfactant in lung air sacs. These findings pose a substantive risk to “the #FDA approval of any e-cig.

For those that do not understand the Tobacco Act of 2009; products such as JUUL are required to obtain FDA approval prior to marketing and selling their nicotine vaping system. All vaping products that are delivering nicotine and have not obtained FDA approval are UNLAWFUL.

The nation is concerned with the tragic youth deaths allegedly due to vaping adulterated cocktails. Additionally, there have been deaths and burns causing disfigurements from exploding vaping devices. CEO Burns, what has JUUL done to assure the public that JUUL will not explode?

JUUL Labs should immediately redesign its open pod system so it cannot be reused (See How to fill JUUL pods with your own juice x 6). This is the ethically and mandated responsible action that prevents any perverse result and irreversible and serious health risks to children.

JUUL device is an open system, meaning the nicotine pod can be reused and filled with whatever cocktail you fancy. Carefully open a used JUUL nicotine pod and add whatever cocktail you want e.g. THC with Vit E acetate and carefully reseal it. Ready for a thirty day ECMO.

Dr Glover are you or are you not taking money from PM the cigarette company whose products are responsible formore than half of the 6.2 million deaths. The money you have accepted is “blood money”.

Why is vaping causing serious lung disease that is not caused by lethal cigarettes? Is it the vaping ingredients, ultra high nicotine content, THC oils or unregulated additives? The FDA has not approved any vaping devices or its ingredients/additives.

Is it worth it? Vaping today then in a hospital ICU on a ventilator. There are more than 215 otherwise healthy young patients with LIFE THREATENING vaping related illnesses. Two vaping related patients have died. Is it high nicotine, or THC, or TBD?

JUULing can be fatal as well as affect working memory and cause attention deficits. Nicotine may be a carcinogen! Remember JUUL is an unlawful product without any FDA evaluation for safety as required by law.

It appears CEO Burns lacks the will to exercise moral judgment in halting shipments of unlawful JUUL until the etiology of the vaping pneumonia cases are elucidated. He states and resorts to the tobacco playbook; it is a legal product and safe. Vaping pneumonia is deadly!

In the state of Michigan our governor has seen the moral light with flavored tobacco products designed for children and has banned the flavors . Thank you. Where is FDA?

It appears that the responses of CEO, K. Burns of JUUL Labs in a CBS interview are distinctly in contradiction to the independent health scientists. His responses are couched in BIG tobacco double talk. Product is SAFE, LEGAL ...BUT NOT FDA APPROVED!

"Ari Atkins, a JUUL research and development engineer, said before JUUL’s launch in 2015, “[w]e don’t think a lot about addiction here because we’re not trying to design a cessation product at all.” Who in JUUL knows what the product is for? Cessation Harm reduction Children??
