We realize that some poisonous gases are invisible; so it does not prove everything. The test is a powerful visual indicator that fewer particulates are inhaled from an e-cig. So I vote to keep this test in our arsenal.

The gov't is not interested in common sense, so it may not help with regulations.

It may very well prove to be a useful tool for converting sensible people to a safer alternative to smoking.

Nice video. Content wise, it's pretty great. But you gotta get your mic out of the frame so that your camera focuses on your face... unless you were trying for that soft focus look.

I remember a commercial from way back when, the guy blew smoke through a white handkerchief, I think it was a toothpaste commercial. I think it was somewhere in the 80's..
The demonstration may not prove toxins, but it damn sure demonstrates the lack of tar.

If I ever film a video I will go for the super soft focus look so my viewers won't get ill

I think that was a Colgate commercial. I remember the commercial though.

And even back then, didn't people say "WTF" after seeing that? "Never mind the teeth, what's happening to my LUNGS?"

That's just the piece of junk webcam I got from a Hong Kong seller for $0.99 with free shipping on e-Bay. Can't beat the price. The camera is not auto focus, so I can stick something other than my mic in front and it wouldn't have made any difference..

Such solid, simple proof.

Basically. It's nothing more than elementary school stuff experiment. Even a 5 year old can figure it out.

But we're dealing with the Government here, and not 5 year olds. 5 year olds tend to be more mature with their reasoning and logic.

As a sidenote, the video shot right up in Google videos.

Google "Toxins from an Electronic Cigarettes" and click the VIDEO link.

It was Topol (I remember it too):

YouTube - Topol, The Smoker's Toothpolish Commercial (1984)

No mention of lungs... just teeth. Teeth. Yep. Priorities.
