Hi everyone,
From what I gather, there are still tests that are yet to be performed on e-smoking. I read in one thread on here that we need these tests to prove our case if government/FDA/big corps tries to shut it down. Also, to have accurate information for the media and new vapors to obtain as well. We still need studies on "2nd hand vapor" and the effects of the vapor to the person inhaling it correct?. What else needs to be tested? How much would these studies cost?
It looks like it's been a rough go trying to find funding for these tests as it's not regulated by anyone. What about suppliers getting together and giving a percentage of profits and have someone perform non bias testing? Maybe having a Paypal donation for the same tests here on the site? I don't know if this would fly, but it's worth a mention. If everyone gets there heads together I bet we could come up with some great ideas to get the info we need. I'd dish out money if it could help save these from getting banned in the future!
I don't have a clue who would be best to actually perform such testing or how much it would cost. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a solution to this issue. I'd love to tell people this is safe and have facts to back it up .
I'm not really worried about the tests (if and when they are performed). Nothing could be worse than those horrible analogs I was constantly puffing on before. My aunt passed away this year after lung cancer and COPD and I only wish I would of known about these sooner as they could of gave her a few more years. I just hope e-cigs continue to be affordable and available so I don't end up where she did. As much as I hate cigarettes, I'm terribly addicted and have struggled for a long time to quit. This could improve and save lives, and I think it's something that deserves some decent unbias testing.
Thoughts and comments appreciated!
