    Just visited my doctor

    Good luck finding any place that has uncontaminated air. Even when you take out cigarettes, perfumes, etc., you still have cars and jet fuel contaminants to contend with.

    I hear you, but you must remember that doctors/hospital personnel love the phram reps. They give out "goodies" and contribute to Christmas parties especially at the end of the year.

    Vapeing with a cold

    I haven't had a cold in three years since I started vaping. Then again, I'm retired and don't come into contact with people as much. I don't inhale to the lungs, I draw vapor into my mouth and exhale through my nose so I don't feel the need to cough at all unless it's a dry hit. I hope you...

    irritation in the lungs triggering asthma?

    Don't inhale into your lungs. Draw the vapor into your mouth and exhale through your nose. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    Children in a vape cafe

    It's all prejudice from the masses. Prejudice is not only against race, it includes a lot: Prejudice - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary For BP and junk scientists it's about money. These latter ones chant their junk science and the masses are the enforcers through...

    Getting testet for cotinine (nicotine)

    Totally agree with Roly, case in point: myself. I had to take blood pressure medication when I smoked. After 3 years of vaping, I had to stop taking it because the meds were lowering my blood pressure too much. I now have normal bp without medication - I'm 66 years old. Robotronix, good job...

    Tip on toenail fungus (tried and true from personal experience): Cut your toenails short and with a nail file lightly file the surface of the infected nail. Smear a generousamountof Vicks Vapor Rub on your toenails once or twice a day for a week. Make sure your toes are dry when you...

    My landlord is trying to not only ban e-cigs but even owning a mod!!!

    Contrary to smoking, vaping does not leave a tell-tale odor identifiable to an ecig. If asked if you vape say "yes" but don't do it in the building. It's not illegal to own an ecig, nor have ejuice. Just don't do it in public where you live. Good luck and hope you're able to live free of...

    Without a doctor's prescription, Big Pharma companies cannot sell their wares. Although the gum and patches don't require a prescription any more, you still need one for Chantix. Who better to convince the masses than doctors? It is in the doctor's interest to peddle the Big Pharma products...

    Parents disapproval of Vaping

    It's very hard for parents to "let go" from a parent stance to a "I respect you as a person." It is just as difficult for a "child" (even at 60) to be the recipient of our parents' criticism. It's part of life. Do what a responsible adult would do and approach it that way. Let your dad know...

    'Vape' bans have little do do with public health

    This is why I very rarely check out the forum any more, I'm saddened and disheartened. Some people just love to drink the koolaid. I personally resent anyone who breathes around me, just because I can't see their "cooties" doesn't mean I'm not breathing it in. If anyone thinks this is a...

    Throat problems?

    After 3 years of vaping I figured out why the first vape of the day was kind of harsh on my throat. The light bulb went on one fine morning and realized that because I hadn't vaped during the night, the juice in the wick was cold and probably thicker, so I started priming the wick by just firing...

    OP, try Metamucil before going to bed at night for a week. Good luck!

    Another mod explodes

    I read an article yesterday about a teenager who slept with her cell phone under her pillow and the battery vented and burnt the mattress and pillow. So, should cell phones be banned especially from "the children?" Cell Phone Catches On Fire Video - ABC News

    employers telling people they arent allowed to vape

    I worked in a hospital for 10 years. There is a law called HIPPA. This law prohibits hospitals and medical personnel to discuss health issues a person may have with other people (including relatives) without the written consent of the patient. I would question the manager that made the public...

    California State Health Officer Ron Chapman protects cigarettes, issues report that lies about e-cigs

    I lived in California for more than 50 years, my kids were all born there. I moved out along with my daughter and son in law 4 years ago. The State income taxes were killing them financially (someone has to pay for all those social programs, etc.) Good luck to you but don't burn your bridges...
