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

    earthpig. The only alternative would have been much worse. Don't worry. Everything will be ok.

    Vaping TV shows

    There's another British tv chanel devoted to e-cigs. I can get their website but nothing video from them. I have tried so many times but have virtually given up. It's vapourtrails. So far useless to me.

    Drinking and Vaping?

    You will certainly want to vape more when you are drinking. Just drink, vape and be merry. Very occasionally I've had an anolog, but they taste disgusting. I've been (mostly) smoke free for 6 months.

    San Francisco considers banning e-cigarettes

    You are exactly right about this. I have known this for years and so have many others. The whole notion of saturated fat being the enemy and the connection between cholesterol and heart disease is NOT based on any kind of sound scientific evidence. It's pure junk science, just like the second...

    Congratulations. I'm almost at 6 months smokefree. Vaping is the best!!!

    Normal or not?

    Don't be concerned about being more addicted to vaping than to analogs. One is a healthy choice and the other is potentially lethal. You have made a wise choice to switch to vaping. It's much more enjoyable than smoking. Just give yourself some time to adjust to the change. I started with...

    San Francisco considers banning e-cigarettes

    I sure got an eye opener. I had no idea that we lived in such a corrupt, ignorant and sick world. I think about it most of the day now. Sometimes I'm sad and depressed, other times frustrated or angry. But a good vaping session certainly helps.

    Condo bans-Read the comments

    This part of the article was interesting - When someone smokes inside the unit, smoke can permeate the walls and can migrate to the inside of surrounding units. Some condo buildings must have very poor quality walls. In no building I have ever lived have I ever seen smoke migrating...

    Why is he selling those ridiculous NicTar filters on the same website? What are they thinking? Was Mr Sheen drunk when he signed this business deal?

    FDA, Government, Big Pharm, etc.. Thoughts

    You are right of course. This might help explain the situation. From Wikipedia : A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs. The predominant usage in...

    Legislation would prohibit electronic cigarettes.

    I left a comment saying that hysterical nonsense is more fashionable than common sense logical thinking. On this forum we often refer to anti-smoking/anti-vaping zealots. Surely BIGOTS would be a more appropriate word.

    Wow. If you havent read this, do it now.

    Thanks Kristin. I know that all of you at CASAA will do your best in this matter. And I think it's worth reminding ASH USA that ASH NZ publicly admits that nicotine is not harmful and is aware of the benefits of e-cigs. I know because I read their website and they responded to my email. My...

    Wow. If you havent read this, do it now.

    Here is a link to the ASH NZ page where they clearly state that nicotine is not harmful. Treatments to quit smoking - ASH NZ

    Wow. If you havent read this, do it now.

    A disgusting bunch of lies from ASH, as usual. I looked at ASH New Zealand website last week. They say clearly that nicotine is NOT HARMFUL !! It boggles the mind that ASH USA and ASH NZ can have such totally different views on the topic of nicotine. One says it causes 50,000 deaths...

    NZ Health Ministry tells Parliamentary Cmte that e-cigarette usage "is far safer than smoking"

    Cigarettes in New Zealand are extremely expensive. The tax brings the price of a pack to more than $12 a pack. But spare a thought for Aussie smokers who now pay more than $20 a pack. The tax there is partly used to heavily subsidise NRT products for those who can no longer afford to smoke...

    Nice Article on E-Cigs

    You are right, it's a nice article, but it's also just advertising. I think this kind of practice is dishonest. I'm sure even the comments are fake.

    And in CBS News...

    There is a thread in Legislation news about this story. It's good news for us.

    FDA to regulate e-cig as tobacco

    How will this news affect the proposed state sales bans, in NY for example? Ms Rosenthall stated that sales should be banned until the FDA approved them as drug delivery devices. There's no way this will happen now. Maybe they could still ban internet sales and interstate sales. How about...

    ASH New Zealand

    Especially to Elaine and Kristen and all the others, I emailed ASH New Zealand, mailnly because their website is devoid of any mention of e-cigs or smokeless tobacco. They have relentlessly campaigned against smoking in NZ for as long as I can remember. The only thing they recommend to stop...

    From my representative in NY.

    I think writing to elected representatives is often about as frustrating as writing to health groups. But you got a great reply, so that's good news, and we must continue - it's vital that we all do our part. I got some good news today. ASH New Zealand replied to my email and said they are...
