Probably heard that 'news' from the idiot that put himself up as 'expert' on TV etc in the Netherlands, the first day he ever heard about their existence... went blabbering on TV about how each cartridge held as much nicotine as two packs of cigarettes... Boy was it an uphill fight, after that went all over the media, to get anyone naming or even knówing the true figures...

Now I'm off to pick up where Hunter Thompson left us after his suicide. I'm penning "Fear and Loathing in E-Smoke Land". Other volumes under way: The Old Man and the E-Pipe; E-Smoker in the Rye; Little E-Puffer on the Prairie; and still more that I'm not ready to announce yet ...
But the cartridge itself is supposed to "contain" enough to last the amount of a pack of regular cigs. While its not designed to give a smoker that much, I'm sure there is more than a normal cigarettes nicotine amount within. And I'm sure it will be easy to prove because, cartridges are packs.

This is exactly what I was talking about in some other threads. The cart=pack design is going to be problematic and remain that way. Its a serious chink in e-cigs armor and easy to blow the whole product away with simple disinformation.

I just found out that smoking has been banned in bars in Thailand. And that there is active enforcement, involving undercover Thai police. My friend also found out that on the spot fines, ie bribes, were standard procedure with the undercover police. Fines are for both the smoker, and for the bar. This is why e-smoking is being banned. It threatens a revinue source.

That interesting. Just about every site I've been to that sells e-cigs has disclaimers all over the place that these things are not for "young people."

How do politicians get away with this kind of thing? How is it that the e-cig sellers can say over and over that e-cigs are not for "young people," they can say it till they're blue in the face, and then some politician can say they're marketing it to "young people?"

What?! I thought that when the e-cig sellers said forty-eleventy-billion times that their products are not for "young people," that pretty much excluded the possibility that they were saying their products are for "young people."

Am I missing something?

Yes. The threat of litigation.

Tobacco companies, in particular, say now that no one should use their products. Quit smoking immediately. The products, even if used as intended, will cause diseases or kill you. Why do they say that? Only one reason: If a lawsuit is filed, they can go into the courtroom and say "We tried to warn people, your honor. We made the danger clear. We can't be held responsible for a person's individual choices."

Same with e-smoking. The warnings against underage sales and use by pregnant women are meant to immunize them against damage lawsuits -- that will be filed anyhow in years to come. Wonder what kind of warning we'll soon see on E-Liquid and Cartridges ...

"E-smoking is bad and can cause your tongue to turn black and fall out." We warned you.

I do believe I've said that's the whole bottom line for e-smoking:

Follow the money.

Who wins? Chinese companies. Who loses? Government, Big Pharma and Big Tobacco.

If you can't figure the outcome of this game, ask for a brain refund.
