    E-Cigarette Forum Discussion Thread

    I quoted you for the context of the word "quit" as you were using it compared to something that could be construed as a "therapeutic" claim. I would suggest a rewording along the lines of: "Although many e-cigarette users have successfully quit smoking partially or completely by switching to...

    E-Cigarette Forum Discussion Thread

    Quitting smoking is not a pharmaceutical product or drug, it is an individual choice that may happen in concert or completely without the help of any pharmaceutical aids or recreational replacements. Pharmaceutical companies want people to believe that they are the sole proprietors of public...

    e-cigs (vaping) is amazing but.....

    Since you aren't really absorbing any nicotine in your lungs, you only need to inhale the vapor into your lungs to create the throat hit feeling. Some strong flavorings like menthol and/or cinnamon, or a small amount of PGA (Pure Grain Alcohol aka "Everclear") can create throat hit as well so...

    e-cigs (vaping) is amazing but.....

    As others have suggested, the "cure" for most of these symptoms is probably something as simple as drinking a little water to re-hydrate your throat that can get dried and irritatable from the PG/VG vapor. Also keep in mind that you don't really even need to inhale the vapor into your lungs to...

    The best bedtime vape I've found so far is Sleepy Time Green Tea Lung Juice: 6ML Lung Juice Samplers - Assorted Strength The Sleepy Time Green Tea flavor I believe has chamomile and melatonin along with other herbs that make a very relaxing vape. I just recommend that you dedicate a carto...

    Which Country is leading the way? Testing and promoting?

    That somewhat depends what you mean. The e-cigarette was originally invented and patented in China, but obviously we have improved on the design domestically. Health New Zealand has done quite a bit of research on the e-cigarettes and vapor. Visit here for a timeline and references to...

    Altria introduces Marlboro and Skoal Smokeless Tobacco Sticks, Reynolds expands test markets for Camel Orbs, Strips & Sticks

    That's right up there with the menace of toothpicks that are within reach of children. ETA:How many people have died from toothpicks? Unlikely Ways To Die (Death Myths)

    Altria introduces Marlboro and Skoal Smokeless Tobacco Sticks, Reynolds expands test markets for Camel Orbs, Strips & Sticks

    I believe the Camel Sticks and Orbs are roughly equal in strength, but the sticks are physically larger and so contain more nicotine each. The strips have the least amount of nicotine, but that's because they're quite thin and are used up in just 2-3 minutes. The advantage the Camel sticks...

    Casaa "I haven't smoked since" banner

    I'm with you. I think there is a difference between "using an e-cigarette" and "vaping". "Using an e-cigarette" is what a smoker does when they first try vaping with a white automatic battery with a amber LED and brown cartridge: mimic the act of smoking a cigarette as closely as possible...

    FDA Modified Risk Tobacco Products meeting

    You are of course absolutely right that we must be careful, but this suggestion is specifically answering the question, "What types (if any) of scientific studies other than long-term epidemiological studies could show a significant reduction in harm and the risk of tobacco-related disease to...

    Somebody send this guy some e-cigarettes

    No kidding. Smoking is so dangerous that it counteracts the anti-tumor properties in "what that picture makes it look like Mr. Douglas is smoking" so much that these smokers appear to have about the same risk of cancer as nonsmokers.

    FDA Modified Risk Tobacco Products meeting

    And it begins... I would like to suggest that the methods and amounts of propylene glycol vapor produced by products marketed as "electronic cigarettes" be tested for its potential germicidal effects as a potential method of disease prevention. This study from 1943 can serve as a template...

    Is vaping keeping me from having strep throat?

    According to the following study, this could very well be true: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2135415/pdf/387.pdf Since the amount and manner of propylene glycol vapor used in e-cigarettes was not specifically considered in this study, we can't be certain that there is enough to...

    Can you take these things on airplanes?

    If someone tells you that you cannot vape, just remember: Vaping discretely or in the restroom > throwing peanuts at the flight attendant.

    What is a good ecig for a tobacco chewer?

    E-cigs really are designed with the smoker in mind, so although it's possible that you might enjoy vaping as much as any smoker I suspect you'd be better off looking into low-nitrosamine Swedish-style Snus and/or dissolvable tobacco products. Stonewall dissolvables are specifically designed to...
