Christian Berkey, the founder and CEO of the company Johnson Creek does not have his tongue in his pocket, in fact, according to him 30 companies and nearly a million jobs could disappear following the application of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations.
« IN FACT, THE FDA DOES NOT KNOW IF E-CIGARETTES ARE DANGEROUS.«
Last month, the FDA decided to put in place rules that will apply to e-cigarette stores, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers across the United States. In view of these regulations one might think that the FDA considers e-cigarettes as dangerous for the public to see as a product totally devoid of beneficial attributes. We feel a rapid action on their part to rid the population of this "dangerous" product.
But in fact, the FDA doesn't know if e-cigarettes are dangerous. The FDA has admitted that it does not have enough information to determine this. However, this did not prevent the agency from imposing heavy and costly regulations.
THE FDA RISK OF DESTROYING AN INDUSTRY, AN ECONOMY ...
In 2007, Christian Berkey founded Johnson Creek Vapor Co. in the basement of his home in Wisconsin. Johnson Creek was the first company in the country
to create and sell e-liquids.
« We worked up to 18 hours a day to grow Johnson Creek, we are proud to have started with a basement of a house to a business that is now worth millions. Almost ten years later, we have employed over 100 people and have a large laboratory. »
« Often times I wonder how many rent payments, mortgages, school clothes, student loan payments, our society has made possible over the years. Our people are talented, and we pay them well. Most importantly, we enable smokers to have a real viable alternative to regular cigarettes. "" Despite all this, we will have to close if FDA regulation continues to progress. »
THE FDA DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE VAPOR EXPERIENCE
The FDA has openly ignored the indisputable evidence that our products are improving people's lives. The report of the Royal College of Physicians nevertheless stated that " the vape is 95% safer than tobacco"
But that's not all, this one also ignored the thousands of candid statements made by smokers whose life and health have radically changed thanks to e-cigarettes. FDA regulations threaten to destroy consumer freedom and consumers' choice to access products that are potentially safer than conventional cigarettes.
The figures are however readable, since the revolution of the vape there is ten years, 4,8 million people died from smoking. In this same period of time, there were no e-cigarette deaths.
SENATOR WANTS TO SAVE JOBS AND COMPANIES
In addition to a health crisis, it is also a social and economic crisis that threatens the United States if the regulations of the FDA are applied. Fortunately he 
There are still a few senators like Ron Johnson, who is fighting for small businesses, consumers and public health.
On May 17, Ron Johnson wrote a letter to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf asking him to explain why the FDA found it necessary to overstep its authority and impose regulations that would cost vaping companies millions of dollars in notification for a product they recognize as being "not harmful". Senator Ron Johnson is not a vaper but he is involved because he wants to save jobs and lives.
Christian Berkey wants the American vapers to mobilize and call on their congressmen to tell them to join Senator Johnson in his fight to preserve a growing industry that can help save lives.
