FDA Issues Stiff Warning to E-Cig Seller who put Viagra in Vape Liquid:
The US Food and Drug Administration made clear on Thursday, October 11, that it has a major bone to pick with an electronic-cigarette vendor that illegally pumped prescription erectile dysfunction drugs into unapproved e-liquid products intended for vaping.
The cocky company, HelloCig Electronic Technology Co. Ltd, even advertised the vape liquids with labels and images using drug brand names. For instance, it sold one of the vaping liquids as "E-Cialis HelloCig E-Liquid" alongside an image of a bottle and tablets of Eli Lilly's erectile dysfunction drug Cialis. It also sold a product with the brand of an anti-obesity drug that had been pulled from the market in Europe for causing psychiatric disorders. The e-liquid really contained the erectile dysfunction drug in Viagra, the FDA found.
[...] The throbbing mad agency issued a stiff warning and firmly threatened "civil money penalties, criminal prosecution, seizure, and/or injunction" if HelloCig didn't pull its products out of the market immediately. The company has 15 days to respond.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb blasted the company in a statement, saying:
"There are no e-liquid products approved to contain prescription drugs or any other medications that require a doctor's supervision. Prescription drugs are carefully evaluated and labeled to reflect the risks of the medications and their potential interactions with other medicines, and vaping active drug ingredients is an ineffective route of delivery and can be dangerous. There are no e-liquids that contain prescription drugs that have been proven safe or effective through this route of administration."
The jokes almost write themselves.

"Pert" and "Sally" are words that go together - but neither goes with "Aristarchus". For pertinent and salient submissions, look elsewhere.
Hasn't the alt-right eaten your liver yet, Ari? How do you fend them off? By sleeping with a night light on?

Ah, Now I get it! You are confusing me with the Titan Prometheus! And the Alt-right with a Buzzard, strangely enough, since that is what started the whole thing, with the #Freearistarchus!!!

not interested in some loser's link or taste in movies. i just enjoy knowing your life is really shitty by my standards. i also know for a fact you are not hadsome, nor socially apt. the way you say "I'm the handsome guy who gets the woman" tells me everything i need to know about you.
