BEDSIDE MANNERS: You Don’t Need a Cervix to Benefit from the “Cervical Cancer” Vaccine

Some would say this has been true since 2006, when the FDA approved Gardasil for exclusive use in girls/women , and finally the FDA agrees. Last week Merck received FDA approval for Gardasil to be used as a genital warts vaccine in boys/men (ages 9 to 26 years old). However, yesterday, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted for only ‘permisive’ use in boys, rather than voting for the stronger recommendation of ‘routine use,’ as they had for Gardasil’s use in girls/women.

Users love ‘e-cigarettes,’ but FDA wants to take closer look

Julie Woessner puffs on an electronic cigarette and feels a vapor full of nicotine wafting deep into her lungs. Woessner and thousands around the country are passionate in their belief that the battery-powered sticks that deliver nicotine without burning have been lifesavers. “If I hadn’t have had it, I’d still be smoking,’ said Woessner, 46, a homemaker living in Wildwood. People like Woessner call themselves “vapers” because they “vape” or inhale vapor that includes nicotine from e-ciga

Electronic Cigarettes Are A Better Smoking Cessation Product Than Chantrix

The FDA has eventually acknowledged near three hundred reports of suicide and tried suicide that are linked to the smoking conclusion drug Chantix. Pfizer obviously states on their internet site “Some people had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions while using Chantix to help them quit smoking.

Former Congressman Salmon Affirms Irresponsibility in Banning e-cigarettes

IRVINE, Calif.- Former Congressman Matt Salmon, who is president of the Electronic Cigarette Association (ECA) (’http://www.ecassoc.org’), states, “It is disheartening that the FDA issued a warning to the public against electronic cigarettes without conclusive data to support the claim.” This has now led the Attorney Generals of Oregon, Connecticut and Kentucky to ban the sale of the e-cigs in their states. According to the former congressman, the FDA has a responsibility to do homework and pres

E-Cigarettes: The New Frontier In The War On Smoking

Electronic cigarettes imported from China have grown in appreciation in the past many years and which has worried Fed regulators, in part, because so very little is commonly known about what’s in them. Sharfstein asserts e-cigarettes are dependent on FDA approval as a drug or medical device, very like nicotine patches, gum and inhalers and so they’re illegal till they’re cleared.

FDA smoke screen on e-cigarettes

Cigarette substitute produces no deadly smoke. At a time when the government is ostensibly trying to cut health costs, why is it trying to ban something that might help people quit smoking tobacco, perhaps the most devastating health problem in the U.S.? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a press conference late last month to scare [...]
