    Wisconsin Senator proposes bill to EXCLUDE e-cigarettes from indoor smoking ban!

    I found this that helps put nitrosamine content into perspective: http://www.nutritionj.com/content/supplementary/1475-2891-8-16-s1.pdf According to that, it would take about 7,500ml of 1.6% nicotine e-liquid to find as many nitrosamines in one carrot. :danger::yawn: Most likely answer...

    UCSF bans e-cigarette use where smoking is banned

    It's pretty much the same as a theatrical fog machine or a pharmaceutical nicotine product. 0-nic comparison would be sugar-free bubble gum: Available in any flavor, and it CAN be used obnoxiously so it might be appropriate to ask people to not use it in certain situations, but it poses no...

    UCSF bans e-cigarette use where smoking is banned

    We're not guaranteed the right to drink coffee or other heated and/or caffeinated beverages, either. If rules against smoking can be applied to e-cigarettes, why shouldn't they also be applied to beverages containing similarly addictive stimulants that might be heated to the same temperature as...

    Riker/Hahn e-cig review article [NCNA]

    Sorry, there is no evidence that toothpicks are an effective cessation strategy. If you don't use a strategy or product that has been proven to safely and effectively ensure that 1.6% of users will be able to completely quit for more than 20 months, the 8.6 million Americans who suffer from a...

    UCSF bans e-cigarette use where smoking is banned

    If you can't read it in the thumbnail, the sign says, "No Smoking within 20' of the building." Although Oregon's "Clean Air Act" requires smokers to be at least 10' from entrances or ventilation systems, this government-funded building extends the ban to a full 20' and does not have any...

    Wisconsin Senator proposes bill to EXCLUDE e-cigarettes from indoor smoking ban!

    Although the amount and type of Tobacco-specific Nitrosamines detected in various products containing nicotine derived from tobacco varies based on the source, all these studies generally detect about One(1) nanogram total of TSNA per 2mg of nicotine in the product: A 2mg piece of nicorette...

    UCSF bans e-cigarette use where smoking is banned

    Some smokers have a problem with that, but most understand that lighting something on fire creates carbon monoxide and thousands of other chemicals that creates fire and other risks and nuisances to not only the smoker, but to bystanders as well. Vaping is "so different" because nothing is...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    I don't think we need to go that far. An e-cigarette is a personal vaporizer designed to replicate the Experience of using a Cigarette as closely as possible. If someone intends to "completely switch" to vaping (ie. stop smoking altogether...possibly with the intention to eventually quit...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    None of those. We need to keep in mind the non-smokers who only know what the FDA has told them about tobacco and e-cigarettes. People who aren't really in the market for an e-cig, but doesn't know what to believe about their "safety and effectiveness". Side note: "Safety and...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    1ml of 16mg/ml e-liquid contains about as much nicotine as the average commercial cigarette: 1.63%. I suggest moving away from the scientific terminology of milligrams and milliliters that are not well understood and use terms that the average person understands: "Most former pack-a-day smokers...

    New Member/Vaper with a quick question

    This is a tricky question because people vape differently. Many people use a direct drip method or top-off their cartridges or tanks more frequently or use higher power (lower resistance). A 1ml cartridge produces enough vapor to replace anywhere from just a few cigarettes to an entire day's...

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

    Except that this study did not show any inflammation of lung tissue. This study actually found a statistically significant DECREASE in exhaled Nitric Oxide (an indicator of inflammation) ninety seconds after using the e-cigarette. There was no effect on respiration as measured by spirometry.

    Dr. Zorba Paster and more misinformation of e-cigs

    Nicely stated. Furthermore, Dr Paster was inaccurate in his claimed that "FDA...brought the manufacturers to court". In fact, it was the e-cigarette manufacturers who brought suit against the FDA for placing import restrictions on products that, as Judge Leon found and the Appellate court...

    A battery & carto question

    What you need to remember about batteries is that the rated "voltage" is actually just an average. Fresh off the charger, most 3.7V batteries will actually put out about 4.2V but that will drop a bit from the "load" of the atomizer and then slowly diminish over time. The bigger the battery...

    Did u find urself, in the days before receiving your first E-cig, CHAIN SMOKING?

    I switched brands a few times, but toward the end American Spirits became my favorite. They were a bit more expensive, but since they didn't burn as fast as the nasty new RIP/FSC paper and who-knows-what other "additives" in Camels or Marlboro I didn't have to buy them as often. I didn't plan...

    Did u find urself, in the days before receiving your first E-cig, CHAIN SMOKING?

    I bought a pack of American Spirits just before my first 510 arrived...I wasn't planning to quit, but a few weeks later it was still over half-full when a neighbor stopped by to bum a smoke so I decided to just give him the rest because I knew I'd never enjoy them again. I couldn't remember...

    How much am I vaping? Can someone do the math for me?

    That is less than half a teaspoon of .6% nicotine--less than the amount of nicotine contained in ONE combustible cigarette (commercial cigarettes average 1g of tobacco containing 1.63% nicotine) and the amount most smokers absorb from about 10 cigarettes.

    Want to prevent the overeating that plagues people who quit analogs. Will e-cigs make me gain weight?

    After a few days (weeks for some) your senses of taste and smell will improve--which makes smoking analogs less appealing and some foods more appealing....but not only is nicotine an appetite suppressant, it is a stimulant so it could give a small boost to your metabolism so some people may gain...

    Tobacco Act Crafted to Protect Tobacco Sales ???

    The Supreme Court ruling in Brown & Williamson vs FDA that was used by Judge Leon and the entire DC Appeals Court for their basis to determine that recreational nicotine products that do not make health claims can only be regulated as tobacco products was a result of the FDA accusing B&W of...

    Tobacco Act Crafted to Protect Tobacco Sales ???

    Yeah, this is why the FDA has recently purchased a truckload of "XXI Century" brand cigarettes containing varying levels of nicotine. They HOPE to prove that if smokers are given cigarettes with nearly no nicotine that they will get frustrated and quit smoking and not just smoke more or take...
