    It's time to fight fire with fire

    And, how much of the media articles we read/watch are paid advertisements from the Glantz' of this world? Newspapers have to make money, and the money they make doesn't come from subscriptions 100%.

    It's time to fight fire with fire

    From what I understand, the money paid by the cigarette taxes are given to the States and some of them put them in the "general fund" not to help smokers' health care expenses. It's up to their discretion on how to spend the money.

    2 Cats Died 2 Months Apart From Chemical Inhalation

    I'm sorry for your pet loss. Do you have your home sprayed for insects? How often? The insecticides used for the inside of homes is odorless and are generally thought to be harmless to pets/children, however, your cats may have been prone to allergies from the ingredients especially if they...

    Article on e-cigs from Pittsburgh Post Gazette

    Really? Dual use? It sounds like the writer of the article is not aware that patches and gum were released for unlimited time use by the FDA in April of last year. And, I know of people who wear the patch and smoke at the same time, talk about a nicotine double whammy!

    Ex-smoker testimony

    Congratulations Gamon! And, welcome to ECF. It'll be 2 years come March 1st for me. I too was a hardcore smoker, not being able to go for more than 30 minutes without lighting up. The last cigarette I smoked almost made me throw up. Enjoy the journey.:vapor:

    Anybody else get the hiccups when vaping?

    OP, you may be pulling too hard and swallowing too much air. Easy does it.

    Vaping in Public

    Some people cringe when they see the vapor floating around for a few seconds/1 minute and complain that they're being forced to breathe it in. What surprises me to no end is the fact that even when we're breathing normally our breath is being inhaled by those around us, except we don't see it...

    How real is your cigarette cessation?

    I haven't smoked in 2 years. Always made sure I had eliquid at hand, even learned to diy in case I ran out of the pre-mixed flavors I like. I would rather vape 0nic with vg diluted with distilled water than light up a cigarette. You can buy vg (USP grade Glycerine) at CVS for less than $5 and a...

    To Vape or Not to Vape?

    What is keeping you from stopping to vape? Can't you stop and still keep your gear and juices just in case you feel the need for either smoking or vaping? Having your gear available doesn't affect you in any way. If after weeks/months of not vaping you don't use it, then pay it forward to...

    Vaping in Public

    Totally agree with you. However scent allergies are totally different from what the majority of people understand second hand vapor is. They associate it with the common term "second hand smoke" which supposedly harms those surrounding you as opposed to "affects" them. BTW, your grammar is...

    Vaping in Public

    Second hand vapor study? Which one? I have read of studies conducted by Dr. Farsalinos Constantinos which show no such thing. CASAA has a bunch of studies you may find interesting. Happy reading!

    Why did you want to quit smoking ?

    I didn't, it just happened with ecigs. I had quit many times during the 40+ years I smoked and relapsed that I was reconciled with the fact that I would have to be buried with a few cartons of cigarettes in the coffin. I cried tears of joy after 2 weeks of vaping when I lit the last cigarette...

    non smokers taking up vapeing??

    I smoked for more than 40 years, 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes a day. Started vaping 2 years come March 1st and have gone down from 18mg to 6mg and sometimes 0. I noticed early on that I did not crave vaping when I had to go to doctor appointments, etc., for long periods of time where before, I...

    Have you ever been told to stop vaping?

    It sounds like the owner is not a very good business person.

    Some weird things been happening

    I'm having the same problem with a box of Kanger 1.8 ohms coils for the Evod/Protank I got recently. Within one day it would go all the way to 5 ohms and I had to stop using them. I tried them on my Provari, Lambo, and Spinner and it did it no matter what. I was thinking it was the juice I was...

    Can we please have a rational discussion about e-cigarettes?-David Holmes in PandoDaily

    It sounds like he needs to do a lot more growing up and start worrying less as to what he thinks are other people's perception of him vaping. I guess he doesn't get the sneers from other people when he lights up a cigarette, and if he does, he feels more warm fuzzies coming in. I think he...

    Secondhand Exposure to Vapors From Electronic Cigarettes

    ...and, people were killed because they disagreed that the earth was flat. The sun used to revolve around the earth too, that's what we see with our naked eye so it must be true!
