    Propylene Glycol..?

    Ash content is basically calcium-containing inorganic material ("minerals"). The closest equivalent I can think of is the quantity known as "hardness" for drinking water. High ash content can indeed cause kidney stones and other problems in cats, that's why you should feed your cats food that...

    Sleazy propaganda re diacetyl in e-cigs

    The Misbegotten Crusade Against E-Cigarettes -- Wall Street Journal

    That's exactly right, caramel. I'm almost certain nicotine by itself is not addictive, and the weight of evidence seems to be in agreement. So, I believe you're correct, we don't know for sure what makes tobacco addictive, but I suspect tobacco companies might know the answer and are not going...

    Be informed so that you may defend your right to vape

    Sorry, but IMO that's incorrect. Fundamental Rights are not divisible and cannot be delegated or relinquished. You always have them or, if someone attempts to take them away by force, they've committed an atrocity, a crime against humanity, or an act of terrorism. But you still have those...

    Be informed so that you may defend your right to vape

    Vaping is part of our inalienable rights, particularly LIFE and Pursuit of Happiness, and may not be trespassed against under any circumstances and for any reason whatsoever. Quite apart from rights, over 1000 scientific studies guarantee the safety and effectiveness of vaping. This amount of...

    Contrary to ANTZ shrill claims of "we just don't know" and "not enough studies", There are over 2000 published studies on vaping. If you'd like to find them, PubMed is open to all. Many of these articles are freely available, the others you can read the Abstracts. But, let me make this task...

    What do you say when people around you (relatives/wife) say "you're still smoking"...

    Actually that's incorrect. Vapor is ~75% water and ~25% PG/VG. Everything else is <0.1% and there are no "nasties" IJERPH | Free Full-Text | Comparison of Select Analytes in Exhaled Aerosol from E-Cigarettes with Exhaled Smoke from a Conventional Cigarette and Exhaled Breaths Science...

    Since you vape, would you lounge around with smokers?

    I love smoke-filled bars. They smell like freedom from nannying parasites and control freakery masquerading as "public concern".

    Why ?

    I was moved by this comment on that Guardian piece linked by Anja above. What a sad and powerful message that the once a respectable field of Public Health has been hijacked by greedy arrogant sociopaths hellbent on world domination at any cost. The sad part is the few legitimate PH members that...

    That's only part of why they're desperately trying to prevent vaping from eliminating smoking. The real big money is in excise taxes, which overshadow MSA payments by a factor of 2. http://www.who.int/tobacco/surveillance/policy/country_profile/usa.pdf?ua=1 US Tobacco Tax Revenue US$33,282MM...

    Is this story legit? -- Loving couple banned from adopting... because husband had 'e-cigarette'

    The story appears to be legit. Multiple sources cited it and there's fiery discussion about it on social media. This is an escalation of anti-vaping sentiment and a dangerous precedent for arbitrary restrictions on personal freedoms from unelected apparatchiks. Not to mention the atrocious act...
