    so.... think this new tax bill will pass?

    I'm so glad to see that at least ONE Congressman recognizes this fact! The Individuals with Disabities Education Act is an important cause, in my opinion, and it is unconscionable to tie funding for this program to tobacco sales. There is no evidence that this act would actually reduce...

    Philip Morris buys patent for nicotine aerosol technology, may be better than e-cigarettes

    Obviously this depends on the "size" of the puff. In the FDA's preliminary study of e-cigarettes from Njoy and Smoking Everywhere, they simulated a 100ml puff and detected up to .0432mg of nicotine in Njoy Menthol "HIGH". http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/ScienceResearch/UCM173250.pdf

    Hi all!

    Without the other MAO inhibiting alkaloids to reinforce the chemical dependence on tobacco, it is unlikely that someone would develop an addiction to nicotine alone. However, if you don't need the nicotine to help avoid smoking, you are quite right to recommend sticking with 0-nicotine...

    New survey finds that 5 of 6 smokers in North America inaccurate believe smokeless tobacco as hazardous as cigarettes

    Smoking has more than TWICE the risk of causing oral cancer as smokeless tobacco, and Swedish-style snus and dissolvables have reduced levels of TSNA's that are below levels known to cause cancer. Oral sex now main cause of oral cancer: Who faces biggest risk? - HealthPop - CBS News

    Refilling Cartridges - Not My Skill

    I'd suggest ditching the cartridges completely and practice "dripping" directly onto the bridge of the atomizer. IMO, most of the cartridge mods like the Pyramid Tea Bags or Blue Foam are more trouble than they're worth. Dripping 2-4 drops directly onto the atty, then adding ~2 drops whenever...

    Cant Quit the Damned Analogs

    If you're still finding yourself craving "the real thing", there is a good chance that you are craving more than just nicotine from tobacco. Some people are developing e-liquids that contain Whole Tobacco Alkaloids which is what is suspected to be the "something missing" in traditional e-cig...

    How Much is Too Much?

    5ml is about 1 teaspoon and may contain as much nicotine as 5 cigarettes--the difference is that about 90% of the nicotine in cigarette tobacco is destroyed by combustion (generally listed as "tar") or lost to sidestream smoke. Most smokers only absorb about 1mg of nicotine per cigarette...

    What is your favorite juice???

    Unless you're looking for an "authentic" watermelon flavor (ie. something that tastes like the actual fruit), the best I've tried so far is "Watermelon Candy" from Honeyville--I'm vaping it right now and I think it tastes a LOT like Watermelon Jolly Rancher....I like the 80/20 PG/VG mix, but...

    Just Found New Flavors In My Nose!

    The pharmaceutical grade nicotine used in most e-liquids is not the right pH to be absorbed by deep lung tissue for the fast absorption rate you get when smoking. Instead, the nicotine is absorbed more slowly through the oral mucosa in your mouth and upper respiratory system. Really, there is...

    bacon flavour juice!!!

    I've tried Ms T's Bacon French Toast, and I have to admit that it is not quite as terrible as some people have made it sound. I would generally only vape it to demonstrate to people and it tastes and smells like someone is cooking breakfast--not really unpleasant at all, IMO, but its not...

    Hiccups

    Hiccups are fairly common among people using the nicotine gum if they chew it "too quickly", but I believe the problem comes from swallowing nicotine that causes the stomach to become irritated and can produce hiccups. If you are getting hiccups from vaping, it could mean that you are using too...

    Massive smokeless tobacco tax increase

    I could imagine that manufacturers of FDA approved cigarettes would appreciate taxes that would "level the playing field" of competition with unregulated products. Assuming tobacco companies would not support increased taxes on other tobacco products is like assuming that pharmaceutical...

    Massive smokeless tobacco tax increase

    I think that attempting to discriminate between the two "explanations" for social/cognitive disorders is only helpful if they need to be treated differently, and I'm not sure they do. People argue back and forth about nature vs nurture, but the truth is we are all a composite of our genetic AND...

    so.... think this new tax bill will pass?

    From what I can tell S. 1403 has nearly no chance of passing as is, BUT something very much like it could potentially come as a House bill, so it is critical that we remain vigilant and educate our senators and representatives on this issue because the ANTZ are getting sneakier every day...

    Carl Phillips named CASAA Science Advisor

    I found it: How It Works | CiGRX It's a lozenge with Anatabine and Yerba Mate. That's a great point that there certainly ARE potential therapeutic uses for the other tobacco alkaloids that are, like many other pharmacologically active ingredients found in many plants and vegetables...
