    New Zealand Ministry of Health Declares that Electronic Cigarettes are Safer than Tobacco Cigarettes

    sherid, of course you are right. As a New Zealander I feel proud that NZ may just lead the world in e-cig acceptance and understanding. There was one rather disappointing article lately from (including Dr Laugeson from Health NZ), but I will leave that up to the good people at CASAA to respond...

    QLD Health bans nic import - ecig ban confusion

    I left this comment : To state that a product is dangerous would surely require some proof or at least some evidence that it has harmed someone. Was this question asked? I doubt it. The fact is that people who use e-cigs are reporting improved health. The seizure of these products is nothing...

    So gutted.... : (

    It just sounds like you need some good quality, reliable equipment. Don't be depressed. And don't lose heart - soon you will be a pro vaper just like most of us here. It's just a matter of having good equipment, back-up equipment, and always plenty of juice so you never need to go back to...

    Please help, have not used Ecig yet.

    The e-cig you showed looks like junk. Sorry to be so blatant, but it looks like the one I first bought. And $90 is WAY too expensive. Is that how much you spent? Buy something decent, if you can afford it, from a reputable internet supplier. Really I don't mean to sound critical. We all...

    Confused Old Lady - 50 Yrs Marlboro Reds - Grateful for Any Help, Advice, Recommendations

    Welcome to ECF. I enjoyed reading your delightful and articulate post very much. Your stories of how smoking was so common when you were younger. I live in China now, and believe it or not doctors still offer cigarettes to their patients here. I hope that the anti-smoking hatred that you...

    Do you like or dislike the smell of smoke?

    When I quit smoking and started vaping 6 months ago, I detested the smell of smoke. I remember sitting in a very smoky bar and the smoke was making me ill. Now I really like the smell of smoke. Living here in China where about 80% of men smoke, it's hard to avoid it. But I enjoy the smell...

    What flavor are you vaping right now, and is it any good?

    Vanilla from Bestecigs. Delicious. But never order their Cream flavor. It's totally vile.

    Research Agenda

    If they really feel the need to do a long term clinical trial, that's fine, no problems there, and as Vocalek said - who cares if there is also an uncontrolled experiment going on at the same time? I'm struggling to imagine how it could affect whatever controlled experiment they wish to do.

    Why did nobody warn me!!

    Hi, I'm a Kiwi too. Welcome to ECF. I accidently quit smoking 6 months ago after I bought a crappy e-cig from a pharmacy here in China. A week later I bought an ego kit, and have never smoked another anolog since. Vaping is so much more enjoyable! I recently started using LR cartomizers...

    New channel 9 Australia disinformation campaign

    That's good news, but I can't help thinking it would be faster and cheaper if they paid attention to all the studies on e-cigs and harm reduction that already exist. Meanwhile smokers are given the message it's safer to keep lighting up.

    New channel 9 Australia disinformation campaign

    I left this comment : Ms Dwyer is doing her best to keep Queenslanders smoking. Isn't it strange that in so many other countries e-cigs are not only perfectly legal but are widely advertised. I switched from smoking to using an e-cig and my health has improved dramatically. As for protecting...

    Research Agenda

    I'm also disappointed with this. I honestly thought those scientists were on our side. Now it seems they are in bed with the FDA. What the hell is going on?

    A really bad video and article

    I read it, tried to comment and failed. Mostly an absurd article. I think it's official - journalism has died, not only in America but all around the world. Reporters care zero for actual balanced reporting. They tend to care even less for the truth.

    PRESS RELEASE: CASAA Praises FDA Concession to Court of Appeals Ruling

    The American Lung Association and the American Cancer Society have strongly condemned e-cigs. And most likely will continue to condemn them. The FDA have never taken any notice of petitions and testimonials from people who have quit smoking by using e-cigs. They have agreed to regulate e-cigs as...

    Dr. Michael Siegel Editorial in NY Times About Outdoor Smoking Bans

    I thought it was a rather weak article. And he missed a golden opportunity to promote e-cigs as an alternative.

    New channel 9 Australia disinformation campaign

    That was a good article. Positive. But considering what has happened in Queensland, the campaign against e-cigs, you Aussies need to be sending letters to your law makers. The good people at CASAA can help you with the wording of the letters to write. Really, the Aussie government need to hear...

    New channel 9 Australia disinformation campaign

    I'm just happy I no longer live in Queensland. In fact I would never even visit there again! All those vapers who are thrilled to have finally quit smoking are now criminals. So now it's official - freedom of choice a is thing of the past in Queensland. I think all Aussie vapers need to...
