    E-cigarettes may contain dangerous chemicals

    That's an interesting point about the solder flux potentially containing diethylene glycol, but the FDA only found "about 1%" (less than .01ml) DEG in one out of 18 cartridges they tested which is most likely from the use of non-food grade PG...but the FDA did not detect any DEG in the actual...

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

    You need to understand that there is a *bleep*-TON of money at stake for these Big pHARMaceutical companies. Setting aside the funding they'd lose from annual Master Settlement Agreement and other tobacco taxes from the 46 Million current smokers in the US successfully quit, or the sales of...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    Referring to electronic cigarettes as a "Nicotine Replacement Therapy" or (marginally more accurately) "Electronic Nicotine Delivery System" reflects a failure to understand the intended and actual uses of the product. Although battery powered vaporizers shaped like cigarettes CAN be used to...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    Don't bother learning about ohms and volts, as those are simply the other variables used to calculate wattage. Keep it simple and just look at wattage. Like a lightbulb, more watts=more power, and more power means more liquid is heated into vapor. Some investigation needs to be done to...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    Your point about politeness is certainly valid, but to use an infantile phrase, "THEY started it." As consumer advocates, we have been accused of being shills for the tobacco companies, written off as "unscientific" even while we are citing actual scientific, published and peer-reviewed data...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    Rating vaporizers in terms of Wattage (power) is probably the most accurate measurement as the amount of liquid that can be vaporized by a given amount of power is a fairly straightforward calculation. If, say, an 1000W fog machine uses 1L per hour of operation (finding the exact number is a...

    “Public Health Challenges of Electronic Cigarettes in South Korea” [JPMPH]

    "Until there is clear evidence of the e-cigarette‘s safety, it is recommended that the industry‘s marketing and promotional activities be banned and closely monitored, and public campaigns be initiated to educate the public regarding e-cigarettes." How, exactly, does one demonstrate safety of a...

    The vapor image problem - "eCigarettes"

    How is calling out Box Elder for their lack of QC and acknowledging that they have issued a pre-emptive recall "jumping to the[ir] defense"?? It is an all too common practice in other industries to wait until the number of people killed or seriously injured is greater than the costs before they...

    The vapor image problem - "eCigarettes"

    Why would it be? Was any actual e-liquid effected? As far as I know, the only people effected by this were vendors and DIY'ers who use 10% nicotine solutions, but I have not heard any evidence that any actual e-liquids were released with higher than reported nicotine strengths. Box Elder...

    Smokefree ordinance to be introduced in Boise (ID), don't know if e-cig ban is included

    That is excellent news, Mike! If you can, we could still use you and as many other local vapers and CASAA members to attend the hearing on the 29th to make sure they don't change something at the last moment and to personally thank the council for wisely excluding smoke-free e-cigs in the...

    John Polito: Approved quitting products are not effective

    22.7 / 30.2 = 75.2% of those abstinent for one year who were still abstinent at the 3-year mark. :yawn:

    John Stossel gives ecigs national stage

    That would be funny, but I really doubt "ElectRic(kStoddard?)CiggersSuckMan" is likely to come out from his veil of anonymity anytime soon. If he is who I suspect, he's been working in Tobacco Control for at least 12 years while lighting cigarettes for a loved one dying of cancer and has...

    Peter Singer calls for cigarette prohibition

    IMO, the thread title is neither inaccurate nor misleading because Mr. Singer apparently knows, as we do, that the FDA is not empowered by the tobacco act to completely ban cigarettes, but can only attempt to regulate them into what they imagine (but cannot substantiate) is a de facto ban...

    Need Comments on US Plane Ban by Nov. 14

    What we use is a substitute for cigarettes that is marketed to cigarette smokers. If a nicotine vaporizer is designed to look like a cigarette, I see no problem calling it an "electronic cigarette". The problem is referring to the vapor as "smoke" since e-cigarettes are not lit on fire and not...

    Penn State video: half right, anyway

    The "effectiveness" of NRT is proven to be 1.6% effective 20 months after treatment, that means that despite the fact that about one in five smokers has a chronic illness caused by smoking and three out of five want to quit smoking...NRT is proven to effectively ensure that nearly none of them...
