I believe that the FDA would rather over-regulate than under-regulate. It’s not always a bad thing though. The products that would affect someone over their entire lifetime need to be carefully considered when deciding whether or not they should be… Read more»

Technically, the FDA regulates all nicotine products including cigarettes and e-cigs. I however, don’t believe that they should be classified as a class III medical device. Regulation has a tendency to kill small businesses, because it only takes one law… Read more»

You might have a specific representative from that vendor as your go-to, but the vendor may have other orders for products, maintenance of machines, etc. They may have to balance orders/scheduling with dozens of other companies, not just yours.
