    Would you date a smoker?

    What if he/she is a non-smoker but the biggest control freak or nagger in your circle of acquaintances? Whatever happened to getting to know the person not the labels...

    NIDA grant opportunity for small businesses to develop "standardized electronic cigarettes"

    Oh, like when large corporations post a job opening publicly because that's what their HR policy dictates, but it's just an exercise in futility because they already have given the job to someone else? EDIT: It's a type of nepotism...

    Dr Farsalinos crowfunding campaign and research

    Thank you Ryedan, I was able to click on the link directly and it did show up. So I'm looking at the findings of "Conclusions. DA and AP were found in a large proportion of sweet-flavored EC liquids, at levels that were higher than the strictest safety limits but significantly lower compared...

    Dry peeling lips every time I vape

    From what I understand, vg when applied to the skin, hair and scalp is a humectant. Don't know why your lips would get dry from it. Do you breath through your mouth a lot?

    Dr Farsalinos crowfunding campaign and research

    I can't seem to download this link, is anyone else having problems, or am I the only one? EDIT: I went to the website where this supposedly came from and didn't find any such findings there. I believe that when the peer review is done, Dr. Farsalinos himself will post the findings.

    Vaping headaches...

    Your blood pressure may be going off the roof. Nothing to do with vaping - see your doctor or go to the drug store and use one of those machines where you can take your own bp.

    Multiply that by 2, for 2 years in my case.

    Vapping banned at work, but the ignorant statements...

    Not all young people are clueless. I've met middle aged people who believe in "magical" thinking and that the government is going to take care of them because the government has the ability of taking money from someone else and give it to them. I usually try to stay away from talking about...

    Tobacco bonds threatened by electronic cigarettes / Jul 2014

    It's not so much the money they're losing from vaping right now, but the potential that vaping has to totally take over in 10 years time. They're looking at dwindling revenues so they want to step on the wagon and start the revenue coming in from vaping so that the conversion from smoking to...

    Tobacco bonds threatened by electronic cigarettes / Jul 2014

    Yeah, "society costs" and health and productivity cleaims are "soft" dollar savings. They want, and obviously need, hard cash now, because they've already spent the money and they would have to default on their "promise to pay" the investors. No wonder there's such an urgency with the FDA, CDC...

    Thank you Anja for sharing this! Anyone who still thinks it's not about the money needs to stop drinking the Koolaid.

    so. ignorant.

    Yep, and children's medicines, eyedrops, and when they walk into a bakery shop they're inhaling all of the ingredients in our ejuice. I haven't heard of any bakery chefs that have been hospitalized because of it yet, and they've baked cookies, cupcakes, and cakes every day for decades.

    so. ignorant.

    People love to push other people's buttons. It reasserts their sense of power. Best thing to do is to look at them as if they're speaking a foreign language.

    FDA "I think they're crazy..."

    Oh yes, I don't drink very much (a glass of wine during the Holidays) but I do like dark German beer!!!

    It finally happened - the ignorant bystander

    We could fight lies with more lies by telling them it's a new asthma inhaler you're testing and then proceed to help them pick up their jaws off the pavement.

    FDA "I think they're crazy..."

    5 years ago the FDA lost a lawsuit because they were trying to regulate ecigs as medicinal devices. The court's judgment was ecigs are not medicinal devices and the only way the FDA can regulate them is if they do so as a tobacco product. This is the whole hulabaloo going on now.

    It finally happened - the ignorant bystander

    I remember when I was young (40 years or so ago) a door to door salesman knocked on my door. I was young then and I felt bad for the guy so I let him come in and do his schpiel even though I knew I couldn't afford to buy his wares. He was so joyful that he was able to set up his display in my...
