Is there any place in the world that still sells these? They seem to have disappeared completely from the market in the last few months. :(

The E-Cigarette Mart order has been sent, we'll see if it makes it all the way. Heaven-Gifts rejected my order, though, as they claim almost all packages shipped to Denmark are seized in customs. The East Mall order is pending shipment. I ordered from Janty France although their prices seemed...

I've bought before once from Eastmall, and I just put in an order from E-Cigarette Mart. I'll check out Heaven-Gifts too in a little bit. But I'd still much prefer to find a good supplier in, say, Holland or France.

Hi. With an e-cig ban supposedly underway in the UK, a bunch of us Danish vapers who have so far relied on the UK might soon find ourselves in need of alternative suppliers. So, does anyone have any experience with other European suppliers that ship to Scandinavia? I'm looking for (of course)...

girlwithnolife: You might be right, you know. As I understand the legalities, whichever way Leon rules, the FDA is going to start regulating e-cigs, which will delay, slow down or even reverse the trend from the last couple of years. So simply put, the longer he stalls, the fewer people die...

But as I understand it, if classified as a tobacco product, the FDA would no more be allowed to ban them than they may use their new jurisdiction over tobacco products to ban cigarettes. Whereas the FDA does have the power to ban medical products, or impose restrictions on who may buy them...

Churchill had it right: Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others. :) But the US version of "democracy" is a two-party system (with two more or less identical parties to choose from, just to make matters worse). There are indendent candidates to choose from, though...

I doubt there are any conspiracies of X-Files proportions to worry about. And if we're about to be sold off to our new alien overlords, who knows, maybe they'll treat us better than our human overlords. What I do think is that power attracts the wrong kind of people. Not just the corruptible...

Yeah, the 44% is for a 12-week trial during which motivated patients received Chantix and councelling. And even under those conditions only 44% managed to quit? Not to mention, as it turns out, 50% of them took up smoking again within one year. Not very promising at all, really. But perfect for...

It depends how many people are on Chantix, and a number of other things. But it is listed as a side effect, and I doubt they'd agree to that if there wasn't some evidence from clinical trials. I can understand Chantix as a way of helping you through the cold turkey phase. But I've quit...

The FDA has deep financial ties to big players in the pharmaceutical industry, this is no secret. The FDA is not a charity, it's a business. They want as many products as possible to fall under their control because the extremely expensive testing that the manufacturer is forced to pay for is...

Indeed. Your rights are irrelevant as long as you: - agree with politicians and lawmakers on all issues - endorse the actions of all future governments - trust all law enforcement officers to be straight and infallible - completely trust everyone who has the power to accuse you of a crime -...

This can hardly surprise anyone, now can it. Politicians care about money, power and prestige - your vote is just one means to that end, as long as the current system holds. Justice, truth, science, liberty, these are not of any interest in politics.

And about suspicionless drug testing; there's no such thing. Or rather, it's insane by definition. If you have no suspicion, you expect the results to be negative. That's what suspicion means - it's weaker than expectation, but no suspicion implies no expectation. "Suspicionless" tests of any...

Indeed. As paranoid as it sounds, it's the honest truth. Never talk to the police. You may think you've solved the situation by being reasonable and honest, but everything you said can be used against you at some point in the future - not in your defence, but against you. And if it all ends up...
