    Thad Marney - In light of the fact that evidence-based treatments for nicotine dependence have less than 50% long term success rates, why does Dr. Fiore not recommend non-therapeutic smoke-free alternatives to smokers who have been unable or unwilling to completely quit smoking even while...

    Alexandria (Louisiana) council unanimously enacts smokefree law, includes e-cigarette usage.

    Here's the definition of smoking from the amended ordinance Cutting out the parts that refer to smoking products, "Smoking means inhaling, exhaling...or carrying any...heated tobacco or plant product intended for inhalation, in any manner or in any form." Are e-cigarettes a "heated tobacco or...

    What if they vape?

    Why stop with discriminating against only nicotine? Because they don't own all the patents for it. ...How do you expect Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and GlaxoSmithKline Hospitals to sell any of that stuff if people have smoke-free alternative sources of nicotine? Can't. Those "junkies"...

    Baylor Health Care will not hire nicotine users.

    I am convinced that this case should be argued as a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act as Amended in 2008 that prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of a perceived disability or a medicinal screening for a medication prescribed to treat a disability. From: The...

    Foulds, et al reveal results of interviews with vapers - recommend doing what doesn't work

    I am beginning to suspect that the germicidal properties of propylene glycol vapor empowers us to see through the bull excrement. Sometimes I miss ignorance.:blink:

    Dr. Lawrence Deyton, award nominee

    So very well said! :wub: It is so sad that it is almost funny that there is any controversy over Tobacco Harm Reduction. Are they afraid of an epidemic of non-smoking and increased productivity? Would the world be such a terrible place if lots of smokers switch to smoke-free alternatives??:blink:

    Cattaraugus County, NY Health Department proposes e-cig indoor use ban

    That's a bit vague, don't you think? Do they really mean they want to place an indoor use ban on propylene glycol vapor that is a germicidal air cleaner as part of the Clean Indoor Air Act? :facepalm:

    Scientific Publication: Analysis of Electronic Cigarette’s Cartridges (Trehy et al. 2011)

    Here's Wikipedia's definition of each: Because nothing is combusted or pyrolized, there is no smoke. Smoke contains bits of partially burnt solids and sticky liquids that is collectively called "tar" as well thousands of byproduct gases and chemicals. Vapor, on the other hand, is chemically...

    EU Sweden municipality ponders ban on smoking at home during working hours

    "Why does Lisa Flinth believe that workers who want to concentrate, pay attention, remember things, and avoid making mistakes are setting a bad example?" Great comment, Elaine! For that matter, without evidence that Snus causes any more harm than "eating marmite, having unmarital sex without a...

    Smoke Detectors.

    It can happen, but it is fairly unlikely. Vapor would certainly not set off any actual fire or carbon monoxide detection systems, but some smoke alarms use an electronic "eye" to detect "particulates"--the vapor from an e-cig generally does not contain any solid particulates like actual smoke...

    Non Nic Vaping Suggestions

    The nicotine is certainly part of it, and probably the biggest part. But the failing of the Carr approach is that it does not distinguish between addiction and dependence. They have forgotten that it is possible to be dependant on nicotine without being addicted. Addiction means that you...

    Types of cartos, need help!

    I am a BIG fan of the DualCoil Cartomizers, but they literally draw twice as much power from the battery (at 4.2V it will draw 2.8A) so they should only be used with "big batteries". Except for the CE2/CE3 clearomizers, the main difference between the other cartos you mention is the amount of...

    Non Nic Vaping Suggestions

    The Allen Carr method of scaring people into nicotine abstinence is effective but short-sighted. Many of the "addictive" properties that Carr attributes to "Nicotine" are more properly credited to "tobacco smoking" that includes a cocktail of a lot more chemicals than just nicotine and more...

    Non Nic Vaping Suggestions

    E-liquid Recipes If you aren't messing with nicotine, mixing your own e-liquid is about as complicated as cooking--it takes some practice to be as good as the professionals, but just about anyone can do it if they really try. ;) Without all the other "stuff" in tobacco smoke, nicotine by...

    Non Nic Vaping Suggestions

    The biggest surprise for me is how much I like menthol added to fruit and sweet flavors--it makes them taste "cold" and can give a nice throat hit. As odd and simple as it may sound, Green Apple + menthol is probably my favorite "all day vape" and its even better with a bit of cinnamon, tho I...

    Nicotine Poisoning Anyone?

    Sensitivity to PG is possible, but it's fairly uncommon and rarely causes more than a headache so if it's vape related at all, flavoring is the most likely suspect. What flavor(s) do you use?

    Non Nic Vaping Suggestions

    It sounds like you're not a very heavy smoker, so almost any e-cig will probably suit your needs but the key is finding the right flavor. If you are planning to avoid nicotine, you'll probably want a strong flavor or something with menthol and/or cinnamon to create the "throat hit" feeling...
