    Legality of Vaping Indoors in King County

    It's not an analogy, it is a fact that tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant contain nicotine and there is no reason to suspect that someone using an e-cigarette exhales more nicotine than someone using smokeless tobacco, pharmaceutical nicotine, or eating foods that contain nicotine. In my state...

    Legality of Vaping Indoors in King County

    I do admit that, in fact that is the point: Banning the vapor from less than a teaspoon of flavored liquid makes about as much sense as banning the vapor escaping from a cup of coffee or a pizza with tomato sauce and peppers. The ANTZ have *no* legal foundation for their argument, what they...

    Legality of Vaping Indoors in King County

    You misread me, I said that the reason ISN'T because people are exhaling microscopic amounts of nicotine, because if that were so it would be illegal to breathe while eating anything containing tomato, pepper, or eggplant.

    Legality of Vaping Indoors in King County

    That's called breathing. People aren't allowed to breathe? Are you sure that the reason for smoking bans isn't because people are inhaling and exhaling air that may contain a microscopic amount of nicotine (just like they would if they are using smokeless tobacco, medicinal nicotine, or even...

    new to vaping and the board

    Welcome! IMO, "milligrams" is not a very useful measure of nicotine strength. Juice labeled "18mg" is actually 18 milligrams per milliliter, which is only about 1.8%, which is not much more than the average cigarette that contains 1.63% nicotine...but with cigarettes, most of the nicotine is...

    Fest or bash?

    Expect to have the time of your life and, as always, expect the unexpected. ;) Good deals? certainly. New and prototype hardware? Absolutely, but not everything will be available for sale--some people just want to show off their new toys and inventions. ;) Expect to find yourself using...

    Legality of Vaping Indoors in King County

    Inhaling something that somebody else exhaled is an unavoidable consequence of sharing airspace with other human beings. Considering all the various virii, germs, bacteria and whatnot that lives in peoples' mouth...wouldn't you feel MORE comfortable breathing around someone who was exhaling a...

    Need Comments on US Plane Ban by Nov. 14

    The advantage of calling them e-cigarettes (or SmokefreE-cigarettes ;) is that it makes it clear WHO the product is designed for: Adult smokers. There is no need to make personal vaporizers attractive to children or non-smokers, so don't feel bad about referring to it as a "cigarette" around...

    Marriott Fines Guest for Vaping

    I understand where you're coming from, but my point is that if you are basically just waiting for the government to force you to quit, you might as well just quit now instead of waiting for someone to put a proverbial or literal gun to your head. I have a hard time understanding why people...

    New ACSH publication - Helping Smokers Quit: The Science Behind Tobacco Harm Reduction

    It is my understanding that Dr. Rodu has previously accepted "Unrestricted" research grants from one or more tobacco companies. Why do you ask? Do you think he should seek additional funding from tobacco companies, or should he only perform research for government regulatory agencies and the...

    Marriott Fines Guest for Vaping

    If that is true, why don't you just quit now? I don't mean to be flippant, but if quitting is as easy as just letting the government force you to do something, why wouldn't you save yourself the trouble and try doing it yourself? It is important to consider the reason FOR a ban before agreeing...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    The study claims to be the first to prove that e-cigarette vapor has an acute physiologic effect on airways, but considering that the effect was a REDUCTION in exhaled Nitric Oxide, there is no indication that e-cigarettes adversely affect anything.

    Airplane Turned Around today because of an E-Cig User.... Grrrr

    :lol: "Sir, please extinguish that not-smoking light thingie, can't you see we turned on a non-smoking light thingie?? ...Hey, aren't you that guy trying to leave the state one day after being released on bail who just happens to fit the description of a religious/racial stereotype or ten???"...

    UPDATE: Was Exploding E-Cigarette a 'Mod'?

    Until we get more information about what actually happened to Tom Holloway, all we can do is speculate. Penn & Teller is about as on topic as it gets right now. :P

    What? Is This Guy an Idiot??

    Perhaps more importantly it should be pointed out that a range of 48-103 is a much WIDER range than 26.8-43.2. That is evidence that SmokefreE-cigarettes are actually more consistent than combustible cigarettes. If you vape 5ml of e-juice containing 20mg/ml nicotine, that is the same amount...
