FROM CASAA – Petition to Delay PMTA!
On August 25, Keller and Heckman LLP filed a Citizen’s Petition with the FDA requesting that the PMTA filing deadline of September 9, 2020 be delayed by 180 days. This petition is requesting that FDA go back to the US District Court for the District of Maryland to request a deadline extension, which the court recently granted for small cigar manufacturers that are being negatively impacted by this coronavirus pandemic.
- All interested parties are invited to comment on the Citizen’s Petition by filling out the form provided on this page and customizing your message.
- If you are writing on behalf of a small, open-system manufacturing company, please follow the instructions here.
If granted, the extension would move the deadline for small, open-system manufacturers to March 8, 2021. The request is predicated on a recent action taken by FDA in which small cigar manufacturers are being granted a similar extension due to complications and delays to completing PMTA’s associated with COVID-19.

It is vital that people who use vapor products make their voices heard! While this pandemic is obviously putting a strain on services for businesses, people who depend on safer nicotine alternatives in order to stay smoke-free are being even more challenged by the prospects of losing access to these products and feeling pressured to go back to smoking. Whether it’s by regulation or global disaster, removing vapor products from the market threatens to inflict irreversible harm to millions of people.
Thank you for taking action!

Hi Phil,
Had an interesting occurrence today that made me smile, and thought you may enjoy it as well.
I stopped into a eatery today for some lunch. There were several ladies working behind the counter. I ordered my food and waited as usual, normal everyday situation.
However, when I went to pick my food up, one of the ladies behind the counter asked me what my shirt meant. It took me a minute to process this question. I had forgotten I had chosen to wear my “vaping saved my life” shirt from casaa.
Once I realized this, I told her that I used to smoke for 20 years, and vaping helped me quit. I told her that there’s a lot of misinformation about vaping, but it is 95% safer then smoking, and if they knew anyone that smoked that is unable to quit, tell them to try vaping, and they could help save a life also.
It took about 5 seconds for that to come out of my mouth like I had rehearsed it for an hour. But in all actuality, it was the first time anyone had asked me about my shirt. That single possibility that someone somewhere might try vaping, to quit smoking, made buying this shirt, the best bargain I’ve ever gotten.
I just thought you might get a kick and a smile from the “shirt billboard” situation I had. Once again thanks for all the advocacy and information you and dimi provide.

From Frank
Just looking at the finale of the Smoker´s Show and it´s brilliant as always. What you do is really fantastic and you never give up despite what happen´s. I follow the development in U.S. with interest, maybe now more with horror. How money rules, how money is of only importance.
I live in a country, doing what most western countries do. Living between the scare of who is going to react the most, the stock exchange or the voters. In the end it´s all about money. Be it healthcare, schools or caring for the elderly. Or the smokers… Sorry about the rant.
I just thought you maybe want to know where vaping is in Sweden right now. The difference with Sweden, maybe also Finland, is that we have been vaping for more than 300 years. It is called Snus, in the 18th century called ”Snuff”. Governments, and Kings, through out the centuries always knew that taxing tobacco was a great idea in whatever form. In later years our scientists realized that it wasn´t the nicotine that killed people, it was the tar an the burning of tobacco leafs that caused lung cancer. So, enter Snus. It was the most effective way of getting people of cigarettes and it was easy. We have been “snusing” for centuries and it is also about taxation. Raise the the tax of cigarettes and keep the tax of snus. We now have at least 30 different brands of snus with all sorts of different flavours. Not the peach/melon but give us time…
So, we try to inform of the dangers of smoking, inform of the less harmful alternatives in a objective way and try convincing our next generation that neither smoking, vaping or “snusing” is cool. In Sweden we have decreased tobacco smoking since the 80s and from 2006-2018 smoking we went down to 7%. Today, 2020, we are nearly reaching 5%. And Sweden now have the least number of people dying of lung cancer in Europe. Of course I realize that snus has been a part of us for a very long time and cannot be a solution for other countries but Vaping can! We have to keep struggling because vaping is the answer. There is no other.
As a side note, in the 1994 Swedish European Union membership referendum Sweden had one demand that was really crucial and it was the exception of the ban on snus that the EU implemented. The Swedish government knew this and so did the EU. A demand to ban snus in Sweden, as it is in the rest of EU, would had endend in a no vote! Period. We are a proud nation of the European Union but without our Snus? No way!”
Kind Regards
Frank
