MAN! Gotta LOVE Google and the interweb!
In just over two hours I have managed to plagiarize (copy and past from Crescent City Vapes pages alone) enough Myth vs Fact info to gag an elephant. Add the 3 or 4 charts from images and I assure you Ms. Cheri Hample will have to be peeled off of the ceiling!
Here is a small taste of the flavors she'll be smellin':

My comment here will be; Anyone with an open mind can see the correlation between the decline in
tobacco use and the increase in vapor product use. It also shows you should be very proud of the 11% youth smoking rate here in Alaska. It's 7.8% below the national average and 7% below the 2020 goal already! (Too smarmy?)
The bottom chart is from the CDC, no kidding!
Here are just a few "fun facts" I'll serve up:
Myth: Vapor released into the environment from e-cigarettes is as harmful to bystanders as secondhand smoke.
Fact: While secondhand vapor does exist, the levels of carcinogens and nicotine exposure are far below those of secondhand smoke, and secondhand vapor does not contain carbon monoxide, a significant toxic substance found in secondhand smoke. According to this study, air quality after e-cigarette use is much less toxic than after
tobacco cigarette use.
Myth: E-cigarettes encourage children and nonsmokers to try real cigarettes.
Fact: While e-cigarette use is now higher among high school students than in the past, this growth corresponds to overall growth of e-cigarette use across the entire population. There is currently no data that suggests trying e-cigarettes leads minors to smoking traditional cigarettes. In fact, teenage smoking rates of traditional cigarettes have dropped dramatically, from 11 percent in 2009 to 6.7 percent in 2014. A study published in the
American Journal of Preventative Medicine, suggests there is very little chance that a nonsmoker who tries an e-cigarette will develop a
tobacco smoking habit.
E-cigarettes are intended for adult smokers only, and in all states, minors are not legally allowed to purchase these products.
Myth: Fruity or sweet flavors are not appealing to adult smokers, but rather are meant to attract kids.
Fact: While several lawmakers have urged the FDA to further regulate e-cigarettes, and ban marketing that they say draws children into using e-cigarettes, there is no statistical or scientific evidence to back their claims that e-cigarette marketing is designed to appeal to children. In fact, flavors sell for a reason: They appeal to adult vapers. Three quarters of adults buying e-liquid prefer flavored e-liquid for their e-cigarettes. Even vapers who start by using tobacco-flavored e-liquid often transition to different flavors as they begin to lose their taste for tobacco altogether.
There are 9 Myth vs Fact in total. This one even comes with a nifty little chart of it's own!

I'll also be adding a recommendation to
read the FULL RCP report which I have, downloaded, and will send along as a PDF file. To save her some time (after all I am paying a portion of her salary
) I'll also add a few pertinent quotes and cite page and paragraph. I have a couple more charts too. bureaucrats love charts and graphs, don't they??? Oh, don't let me forget the bullet points! [emoji38]
Of course if she does reply, it will only be to tell me the internet is FULL of erroneous information. To which I will reply, "YES! I KNOW! GOOD DAY MADAME!" (At that point I do believe we can let the scraping begin! [emoji38] [emoji38] [emoji38] )
I sure have missed you guys! It's GREAT to be back, I feel so alive! Thanks again for your support.
