The United States Vapers’ Survey -

[Marc411]

mod's, I wasn't sure where to post this to get the best visibility. It is one of the better surveys I have taken so I wanted to post it here.

Dr. Christopher Russell, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Substance Use Research, along with a small team of researchers, has produced a survey for vapers in the United States. The information gathered will help present to regulators a more accurate picture about how people are using vapor products.

I took this survey earlier today, and it only took about 15 minutes. CASAA sent out an email to members with a link to the survey today, so I'm surprised it's not posted in their sub-forum.

I got it in their e-mail blast too. I was surprised that it wasn't posted so I threw it up where I thought it may get some good traffic. It asked a lot of the right questions and left some nice space for detailed comments.

I left this in the last comment box.

I believe it is borderline criminal with the manner in which the US government has approached this new technology. For those of us that have done the research using published readily available, valid scientific studies we know there is a significant reduction in the health risks using a vaporizer.

Intelligent people can distinguish the difference between the government acting in our best interest and the need to continue their revenue stream. Tobacco and Pharmaceutical companies, the medical profession as it pertains to smoking related diseases are all seeing drastically reduced revenue streams. For our government that correlates to reduced tax revenue!

The Master Settlement Agreement and how those funds are misappropriated by our government only supports the distrust that the American people have for the movement to regulate personal vaporizers.

Most if not all people believe in common sense regulation!

The US government needs to review unbiased scientific data and stop pontificating antidotal information that most know is not true and can’t be supported with science.

It’s a travesty that the US government will allow millions to become either sick or die by continued use of conventional cigarettes when there is a viable option to save lives.

Coflict of interest. He looks like a vaper, so he may be predisposed to a pro-vaping bias.

I had trouble wording that. How should I have said it? ( I think I know the problem, but not a solution.)

I just kinda Laughed when I read your post.

Because the 1st time I saw Dr. Russell speak, I thought the Same Thing.

OK, but are you unable, or unwilling to help?

Unable or Unwilling to Help in What?

 

[nicnik]

Unable or Unwilling to Help in What?

Sentence construction. Your laugh brought out my self-consciousness.

 

[Jman8]

Done. I hope I passed.

Sorry. It wasn't the Sentence Structure that made me Laugh. It was the use of the word "Predisposed". A perfect choice for the Context of the Topic.

What would you like to say?

That Dr. Russell appearance does not fit the Stereotypical Mould of a Senior Researcher?

Or that some people look like they are Wearing their Worst Shirt? And with others, it looks like they are Wearing their Best Shirt. When, in actuality, both People are wearing the exact Same Shirt?

Or perhaps that Dr. Russell looks like someone you might see at Vape Meet?

I looked up 'predisposed', because I wasn't entirely sure I was using the word correctly. I'm very dependent on online dictionaries.
