Study: E-cigarettes help smokers quit | AHN

My comments are getting shorter... more to the point

I smoked tobacco for 42 yrs, rolled my own, never used a filter. I tried to quit many times as my health deteriorated. I tried cold turkey, patches, gum, pills, accupuncture and hypnotherapy. Nothing worked for me. Six months ago I used my first e-cig, and I have not smoked a tobacco cig since then.

No more coughing and hacking when I wake up! I can breathe again, smell and taste have returned, I no longer need medication to maintain my blood pressure, and I can dance again! Not bad for a 58 y/o grandma! My doc is amazed at how well I am now.

Yes, I am addicted to nicotine, as others may be addicted to caffeine, soft drinks, or power. E-cigs are a healthier, safer and cleaner way to treat my personal addiction. Sadly, I am exactly one of the people who would be forced back to smoking tobacco if e-cigs were banned. Is this what the FDA needs to feed their addiction to power?

A thread on this
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/campaigning-discussions/160560-tpsac-go-there.html
has been made into a sticky. I have been using this one to post articles that we can comment on. So I don't quite know what to do now. I guess I will start a new thread but any suggestions would be welcome.

From what I have been able to discover the link goes to
A Public Participation Forum for the FDA Advisory Committee (TPSAC)
This seems to be part of CRE a private lobbying group. It tries to give the impresion that it is connected to TPSAC and my be the reason for the sticky.

Anyway to avoid confusion I started a new thread for my posts for places to comment.

Fiirst I would like to thank everyone who has followed this thread and posted their comments. There have been a lot of comments posted on the articles put on this thread. I have also noticed that the responses have been getting better.

The name of this thread is to close to the a sticky that has been posted so I am starting a new one for links to news articles at:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo.../161727-e-cigarette-news-web.html#post2672764
It also gives me the chance to give it a more appropriate name.
