Head's up! - talk radio is tackling e-cigs tonight!

[rothenbj]

Pharma companies loved me. I quit dozens of times, many buying their products. Snake oil.

 

[Rickajho]

Go Karen!!!

 

[Spazmelda]

Oh, this guy is so full of .....

 

[Spazmelda]

Dr. Siegel needs to call in.

 

[bunnomatic]

I bet there won't be an opposing view now or ever

 

[rothenbj]

These docs are there to sell the "company line". The brought up two studies, one in North Carolina and one in Washington that I'm posting about because I've not heard of them before. The doc said the NC study got, I think he said, 30% of non-smokers addicted on e cigs. I don't think any study would be approved to allow non-smokers to be given nicotine in a study.

 

[bunnomatic]

I think he said 10% of college kids that didn't smoke got addicted to nicotine from using e-cigs

 

[Spazmelda]

Was it the vickerman study this guy was trying to 'rest his case' with, cause even the authors of that study said it didn't show what he was saying it did.

 

[bunnomatic]

maybe he can sell them a patch

 

[bunnomatic]

I didn't hear anything new, just the usual fda & bp bs

 

[Spazmelda]

I'd suggest that Steve get on ecf, lol. Come on and visit us Steve.

 

[bunnomatic]

[Rickajho]

Geez - I barely got one point in before I got cut off.

Thanks, I wasn't sure of the percent.

 

[Spazmelda]

You did good Rick.

 

[Spazmelda]

They weren't going to really listen to anyone anyway.

 

[bunnomatic]

not a thing was said about the smoke and 4000+ chemicals but they did find something in the vapor

 

[Spazmelda]

At least he did say it was a tiny amount and that the vapor was not as harmful as side stream smoke.

 

[rothenbj]

Yes, that would be the Wash. study, I think and it's well debunked. The quoted NC study is the one I'm really curious about. That sounded like a fantasy.

 

[Spazmelda]

Right, I don't recall coming across anything like that, and I do a google search on cigs about once a day, and pubmed about once a week.

The vickerman study as evidence that ecigs don't work is redonkulos. It would be like surveying people doing Jenny Craig about whether weight watchers worked for them. If it worked, would they be doing Jenny Craig?
