It doesn't surprise me either. I do like that the reporter who wrote this seemed to be unbiased. He just wrote the facts and didn't seem to sway one way or the other.

Yeah, I think WSJ is pretty even handed. I fully expected the FDA to appeal that ruling; I'm only surprised it took them this long. The fight is only just beginning, but believe it - the FDA will end up with all our lives in its hands. Just stock up as best you can and hope to weather the dry spell.

Thanks for posting the link, Phaseman.  I was, of course, expecting this like we all were.  Just remember, this ongoing court BS gives us all plenty of time to write our state and federal legislators and let them know our stories.  Let them know that the PV is mightier than big tobacco's sword, and that we will wield them in the voting booths.  Even Barack has had a rather public battle with his cigarette habit. (anybody know if he's really quit?) I think I'll write him a note too.

SmokinHammer.. if your going to send a note to our beloved Mr O about his analog habit, might send him the link to Vapor Talk.. No 2nd thought don't he might see the tea bag mod and think were a bunch of uneducated rednecks teabaggers.. Yes the fight is just beginning. Just remember who the bad guys are when you vote

Like it's been said, I do like that the author seemed to be unbiased. Hopefully the appeal will go our way also.
