    NEW Call to Action!! Tacoma-Pierce County Bait & Switch?

    Ack! I wrote a letter to the editor, but it wouldn't let me send--I think because my IP address is not in Washington. Anyway, here's what I wrote: However harmful or harmless you may think smoking is, it is certainly at least 100 times more dangerous than smoke-free alternatives. One in five...

    NEW Call to Action!! Tacoma-Pierce County Bait & Switch?

    The only "objection" voiced to an exception for 18+ businesses was that the resolution would include a plan to watch and revisit the issue over the next two years for information confirming or refuting e-cigarette safety, and the BoH does not want the hassle nor the embarrassment of changing the...

    Japanese Study - Safety Assessment of Electrnic Cigarettes in Smokers

    When VG is heated to 280 degrees, it decomposes into acrolein. An e-cig atomizer isn't going to get that hot unless it runs dry--which would mean there wouldn't be much glycerol to decompose, and we're already dealing with very small amounts. So although it is possible that you could be...

    A major threat to public perception of this industry.

    According to the video on his website, that is because he "clearly does more research than anyone else." Most folks call it a cartomizer, but I call it a cartridge...I like 'em french fried taters, mm hm. ... Seriously, I kinda feel bad even replying to this thread and drawing any...

    Indoor use ban in Dekalb County, Georgia (includes parts of Atlanta)

    A major threat to public perception of this industry.

    Wow. That's quite a "bargain" they got going on over there. For just $59.95 you can get "free replacement" of the battery--as long as it is only defective, of course, not if it is broken or lost and it of course doesn't cover the cartos that are available for as little as $4.25 each if you buy...

    FDA to regulate e-cig as tobacco

    Nicotine content in Eggplant | Panlasang Pinoy It would take over 20lbs of eggplant to replace the nicotine in a single cigarette. Whatever methods they're using now to extract nicotine from tobacco seem to be quite effective anyway: Pharmaceutical grade nicotine like we use in e-cigs seems to...

    Japanese Study - Safety Assessment of Electrnic Cigarettes in Smokers

    From what I've read, most cigars actually produce much more "hazardous" smoke (higher levels of nicotine, carbon monoxide, and particulates are left unfiltered), but since most cigar smokers don't inhale as deeply or as often as cigarette smokers. Because cigars are generally not inhaled into...

    Indoor use ban in Dekalb County, Georgia (includes parts of Atlanta)

    One revision I would suggest is to clarify that the FDA's testing was "in view of" regulating e-cigarettes as a medical device which the District and Appellate courts agreed cannot be applied to tobacco products that do not make therapeutic claims. Although e-cigarettes are currently an...

    NEW Call to Action!! Tacoma-Pierce County Bait & Switch?

    Many of monday's speakers met at The Vaporium before the meeting as well. I was there at 2pm and several of the press had already been there to interview Kim who had agreed to open the shop (normally closed on Monday) and she and her family had sandwiches, snacks, and drinks for...

    NEW Call to Action!! Tacoma-Pierce County Bait & Switch?

    I'm pretty sure that the member you're referring to is actually the president of the Board, Richard Muri. After the public meeting Monday night, Muri joined us at Cheers where we had plenty of opportunity to regale him with personal stories, technical, and legal details. He would have...

    NEW Call to Action!! Tacoma-Pierce County Bait & Switch?

    +1 We need to remind the board of health that the smoking ban requires property owners or managers to enforce the regulation. In the absence of any scientific justification, the burden of proof MUST fall on the side attempting to restrict the property owner's right to allow or disallow the use...

    NEW Call to Action!! Tacoma-Pierce County Bait & Switch?

    Don't lose heart. I believe they just announced that, thanks to public comments received monday, they are submitting an alternate version of this bill that will not prohibit indoor use unless there is evidence of harm in the next 2 years.

    Proposed e-cigarette regulation sets off a spark

    In the case of Pierce County, it would technically make it illegal to vape in your own home if you are part of a Homeowners Association. More importantly, it would make it illegal to vape at the Vaporium or for Kim to continue giving out free samples or coupons to smokers in Pierce County...

    Yeah, way "back in the day" I spent some time on some terminals with "Amber Vision"...and before that, I had the lovely "Green Screen" on the TRS-80. ....though the worst old tech I ever faced was when I worked at a TV station in Idaho and had to type all the titles and farm reports on a CGI...

    There's several articles about this study, but this one gives some details that were sketchy in some of the other articles. Apparently, they were testing using a product called "Paipo": Judging by that picture and the description in the article, I don't think this is electric and...
