    PLEASE WATCH THIS--A cure for cancer!

    I'm still having a hard time absorbing everything in this documentary. Although I already knew much of what is revealed about the FDA to be true, it astounds me to imagine that Dr. Burzynski appears to have developed a very promising line of research that is shockingly effective against the...

    PLEASE WATCH THIS--A cure for cancer!

    This is a truly excellent documentary. They've extended the free viewing time through 6/20, and I strongly recommend making sure to watch this as it explains how and why the FDA is attempting to bury any actual CURE for cancer that is not sold by a major pharmaceutical company. Like...

    Is it illegal to vape in a car with children?

    In Washington, King County included e-cigarettes in the health departments' requirement to prohibit smoking in workspaces. Likewise, in Pierce County the health department adopted a similar measure but made exceptions for 18+ and non-public workspaces. Neither county includes any sort of...

    E-Cigarettes are on convenience stores' radar

    Only if your freezer is set below -50. PG is a non-toxic antifreeze, remember? ;) Here's what Wikipedia says about it:

    Nicotine's Appetite-Suppressing Power Could Be Used for Weight Loss

    That's not to say that ECF isn't a great place to talk about the positive (or negative?) effects vaping has made on your life...but vendors need to keep your excitement out of your marketing or risk the wrath of the FDA. Until e-cigs can be proven in clinical studies to be (un)safe and...

    Nicotine's Appetite-Suppressing Power Could Be Used for Weight Loss

    Nicotine's ability to suppress appetite and vaping's ability to gratify cravings for other stimulii (flavor, oral gratification, visual effects, social rituals) are what we use to self-sooth or self-medicate can be viewed as positive side effects...are all well and good, but we have to be...

    UPDATED New York State Call to Action

    It took some digging, but I found the New York State definition of "Tobacco Product" you referenced: Obviously, the "any other tobacco products" is vague, but IMO the mention of nicotine water that is obviously only "derived" from tobacco combined with the "any other" would very reasonably...

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

    Probably not, but it is possible that propylene glycol could absorb something from the charcoal on its way to your lungs and there's really no reason to risk additional "unknown unknowns". All reports thus far have found nothing of concern in the actual vapor when used as intended--the only...

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

    I think a charcoal filter could create more problems for vaping than it would solve. Propylene Glycol vapor is an air sanitizer and with no known chemical reactions occurring in e-cigs, there's not much that charcoal could filter out but I would hate to discover carbon leeching into otherwise...

    Des Moines hospital extends smoke-free workplace to nicotine-free workers

    Star Scientific was the first company to submit an application to the FDA for premarket approval of a reduced risk tobacco product: Ariva BDL and Stonewall BDL are dissolvable tobacco lozenges that have reduced Tobacco Specific Nitrosamine levels below detectable limits (hence BDL)...

    Argentina bans electronic cigarettes

    Yes, but in this case, we DO cry for you, Argentina. "Vapita! Vapita! Vapita!" ;) But seriously, Argentina is a beautiful country and people. Hopefully the truth about tobacco harm reduction will find its way past the bureaucrats who profit from the smoking and related disease.

    Concord, CA about to include e-cigs in outdoor smoking ban

    Kim & Steve Thompson and their entire family are great people with a great story: Kim saved the cash she wasn't spending on 2+ packs day. After about 7 months of wishing there was a physical e-cig store, Steve pointed out that she'd saved enough money to start one! Vaping literally paid for...

    E-cigs and FedEx fire 2 years ago

    If antis want to learn the darkest secrets of the e-cig, they should interview Cisco. He's so brutally honest that he can make e-cigs sound a lot scarier than I imagined they possibly could be...which is still not particularly dangerous in absolute terms, much less when compared against smoking. ;)

    Des Moines hospital extends smoke-free workplace to nicotine-free workers

    LeAnn, I suggest you have a nice talk with your family physician and explain how your vaporizer has helped you. Even if your doctor happens to disapprove of your e-cig and wants to consider you a smoker, you should be able to get a PRESCRIPTION for a nicotine inhaler. Even if you don't...

    Delaware County, Indiana Call to Action! (E-cigs in smoking ban)

    Thank you emails are always a great idea. Especially in this case where it is still possible someone could try to add e-cigs to the smoking ban in a separate legislation, legislators tend to actually READ positive feedback. Flattery speaks to the heart of a politician. ;)

    Des Moines hospital extends smoke-free workplace to nicotine-free workers

    Is the hospital's goal to punish adults who are unable or unwilling to completely stop using tobacco or recreational nicotine products, or would they like to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with tobacco use by 99%...

    Utah Board of Regents 'Smoke Free policy'

    Ask the Board of Regents if their goal is to punish adults who are unable or unwilling to completely stop using tobacco or recreational nicotine products, or if they would actually like to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with tobacco use by 99%...

    Action Required - Final Reading & Vote on Tacoma-Pierce County E-cigarette Law

    My "rule of vaping" is to treat it like chewing bubble gum: You really can do it anytime and anywhere you like, but it is sometimes inappropriate to do it openly. Really, vaping and chewing gum are mechanically very similar processes, and a lot of people have quit smoking by substituting...
