    IMPORTANT - email from FDA to a supplier.

    I wonder if some of the "authority" that the FDA as assumed with regard to the devices themselves will be ultimately decided in court? Just because they say the devices are "drug-delivery" devices doesn't mean that they in fact are. If it can be reasonably proven that the device "could" be...

    .... Wait! E-Cigs ARE the GREEN Alternative!!!

    Good Points, I'm not convinced that CO2 is all that big of a problem either based on research I've done, but I'm not a scientist. Some studies show increased CO2 can actually help plant yields. I think recycling is a good practice and it should be expanded, but it mostly comes down to average...

    .... Wait! E-Cigs ARE the GREEN Alternative!!!

    One thing I've noticed in all the marketing and promotions of e-cigs is that they are not being touted much as the 'GREEN' alternative, which is of course a big buzzword in today's society.

    There may be an easy answer to the FDA ban

    I've been as concerned as the rest of the forum on the possibility of an inconcionable decision by the FDA/Congress to over regulate and/or ban e-cigs. But lets take a deep breath and look at it logically. There is NO way the feds are going to do to much with e-cigs other than allow the bad...

    Dr. Michael Siegel Calls Possible E Cig Ban a TRAGEDY

    True. By the time we all stand up together to re-assert our rights it may be too late. Regardless of your politics we've just voted in the most powerful left leaning government we've ever seen (mostly due to the ineptitude of the Repubs while they were in power) who's underlying philosophy is...

    Dr. Mintz' Blog

    Greetings All, I've been vaping for a few weeks and really enjoy it! I did a lot of research on this and other site prior to making the plungs and have finally decided to be more active in the forum. What I wrote: "Dr. thanks for your comments and insight. I too would like studies...
