Back in July, Oregon became the first state to sort of  “ban” the sale of electronic cigarettes, after this report was released.

Within days of that report, the state government here in Oregon acted quickly and heroically to protect us,  pulling a couple of products off the shelf.

The local TV and radio news was busy for two days talking about Oregon’s supposed “banning” of electric cigarettes.

This turned out to not be  true, and I spoke to the Oregon DOJ about their Ecig decision, but the damage was done, and the industry took a black eye here in Oregon.

Listen for yourself to the audio file of the FDA’s press conference right here.

We found this file while poking around on the FDA site, and in the beginning, they say it’s coming down in a few days… huh? Isn’t it a matter of public record? Well it is now…

If you’ve been reading any of the biased and corrupt media reporting, they make it sound like the FDA has determined that electric cigarettes are just as harmful as regular cigarettes.
