AMA MEETING: E-CIGARETTES NEED FDA REGULATION, LIMITS ON SALES

Subtitle:  The AMA recommends that electronic cigarettes be classified as drug delivery devices.

American Medical News

Testing and safety information on electronic cigarettes is
limited, the American Medical Association said, and the devices
should be restricted.

The AMA House of Delegates adopted policy at the organization's
Annual Meeting in June recommending that e-cigarettes be
classified as drug delivery devices that are subject to
regulation by the Food and Drug Administration. In addition,
state legislatures should prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes and
all other nicotine devices that are not FDA-approved, and the
products should be covered by smoke-free laws, the policy says.

"I want them subject to [FDA] regulations so people know exactly
what they're inhaling," said Atlanta internist Sandra Fryhofer,
MD, a member of the AMA Council on Science and Public Health.

[DIV28SUPER] nicotine self-administration devices

http://www.vapor-corp.com/index.php
http://www.smoke51.com
electronic smoking devices coming to a mall near you.. second hand smoke free-- until the user exhales. of course, it's not smoke, but a condensation aerosol of relatively low volatility liquids... feels like smoke, a little acid-scratch in the pharynx... I was startled to find this in a local mall on a roll-around kiosk.

they're not alone
http://www.dragonflyecigs.com/store/index.php

"...They are not intended to be drug products that diagnose, treat, cure or mitigate any disease or condition..".. but they clearly alter function, so these clearly fall into the regulatory purview of the FDA IMHO...

[DIV28SUPER] New Videos on NIH Peer Review & Tips for Applicants

http://obssr.od.nih.gov/Content/Research/BSSR_Guide_To_Grants_at_NIH/   (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/) … abeles@nih.gov ..

New Videos Reveal How NIH Identifies the Most Promising Research Applications

The National Institutes of Health's Center for Scientific Review (CSR) today released a new video to show new applicants and others how NIH assesses over 80,000 grant applications each year to help find those with the most merit. With the majority of NIH’s $31 billion budget supporting grants to researchers, these assessments help ensure investments lead to significant advances in science and health.

"The video provides an inside look at the dynamic way reviewers evaluate NIH grant applications," said CSR Director Dr. Toni Scarpa. "You'll see the rigor and integrity of their efforts, which have enabled NIH to identify ground-breaking research year after year."

CSR also has released a companion video: NIH Tips for Applicants. In this video, the reviewers and NIH staff members featured in the NIH Peer Review Revealed video provide advice to new applicants.

Both the NIH Tips for Applicants and the NIH Peer Review Revealed videos can be viewed and downloaded via CSR’s website: http://www.csr.nih.gov/video/video.asp.

Both videos incorporate many of the recent enhancements to the NIH peer review and grants systems. They replace a similar CSR video that has been viewed by thousands online and used by hundreds of research institutions across the country and abroad to train and educate new and established researchers.

Video FAQs are available for viewing at: http://cms.csr.nih.gov/NR/rdonlyres/3C488E85-3D72-4C08-8099-9F7939F53CB6/23512/VideoFAQs1.pdf.
