there was clearly a massive regulatory failure that allowed for this to happen was there not?

I think looking in our rearview mirror, we would have benefited by having much tighter regulatory controls on the products that are the vaping devices and the vaping solutions.

Was it wise for the FDA to essentially allow for these products to hit the market without knowing the consequences of these products?

Do you think the public is aware that there is products, that there are some of these products that does not, do not actually have FDA approval that are on the market?

And my concern is that if there is a failure in the regulatory and approval process on the front, it should have been easily foreseeable that some aspect of these would have been illicitly used or cut or otherwise.

It's about--it's $5.7 billion.

What else are we supposed to do than make a choice?

Yesterday, our governor, Governor Charlie Baker, declared a public health emergency and implemented an immediate ban on the sale of vaping products in Massachusetts.

It costs Celgene about $240 a year to produce the drug.

My patience, and I think an awful lot of us, are wearing thin.

But frankly, after the way we have seen this administration's approach to these populations, this promise lacks any credibility.

Every heartbeat hurts, and, I can't feel my heart.
