    Interview with Peter Hajek

    Highlights (emphasis added): «If e-cigarettes are allowed to continue evolving and competing with conventional cigarettes, and if medical professionals and the media inform smokers truthfully about their harms relative to smoking, there is a good chance that within the next ten years smoking...

    hey, thanks for your post Alison. I'm still not used to this new forum setup, so I missed it. Those May-day "riots" were actually a couple hundred wannabe hippies protesting peacefully until the police bullied them. No major damage was done.

    $200MM CDC antismoker campaign flops

    This war is for the hearts and minds of the general public. ANTZ have only lied to turn the tide of public opinion against vaping. Not one word coming out of their mouths has been true since the very beginning. I'm sorry if you feel like promoting this particular headline taints the purity of...

    $200MM CDC antismoker campaign flops

    That's what the Peer-reviewed "science" said, that's what I reported. What? You don't like antz's own methods turned around and used against them? Fight fire with fire!

    Vancouver WA bans indoor vaping

    Let's get 1 thing straight. You can't ban something just because you don't like how it looks. There's no more scientific basis to ban vaping indoors that there is to ban breathing or looking left. This is what "arbitrary & capricious" means

    Grand Inquisitor Tom Frieden lets his mask slip

    Putting the UCSF label on that particular guy was not accidental ;) Also note how FDA and CDC are both propping the same ladder. I debated for a while which one should be on top. Decided on CDC because, well... this thread is about Frieden

    Portrayal of vaping by MSM shows blatant negative bias

    Portrayal of vaping by MSM shows blatant negative bias. What's more troublesome is the apparent increasing trend by MSM to use dogmatic drivel against ecigs as click-bait, since they've noticed vapers react in large numbers to these kinds of stories. Has our advocacy fed the MSM trolls all this...

    New study: vaping generates formaldehyde ONLY under dry puff conditions

    I'm hoping at least vapers will learn about the science and stop being deterred from continuing to vape, or worse, enticed into going back to smoking.

    New study: vaping generates formaldehyde ONLY under dry puff conditions

    «Electronic cigarettes produce high levels of aldehyde only in dry puff conditions, in which the liquid overheats, causing a strong unpleasant taste that e-cigarette users detect and avoid. Under normal vaping conditions aldehyde emissions are minimal, even in new-generation high-power...
