    Secondhand Vape

    Two separate issues: Her house, her rules. I don't allow praying in my house, ya know? Interferes with my cell phone reception. Second thing- her reasons for it. Well...do you have the kind of relationship where you let her get away with talking BS? Or the kind of relationship where you call...

    Innovapor Ultrapure e-liquid

    I have a mod from Innovapor that came with an ultrapure sampler pack. It's funny- at first vape, it was alright. I liked it ok, but wasn't overwhelmed. But it grows on you- I like both their menthol and their tobacco flavors quite a lot now. Unlike any others I've tried, it has a really...

    Email From Diane Feinstein

    Surely I don't even have to suggest it, do I?? I thought we all already understood! ....... antisocial beepholes who are polluting everybody's air out of their own sick addiction? If they pay for kids education with their taxes, it'll be the only positive act in their pathetic worthless...

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

    It's true, of course, that many of us are willing, able, and perhaps ready to continue vaping, come what may. Some may have mechanical/engineering experience and gear. Some may have black market experience. Most can DIY juice, at least somewhat. And there will still be a market, of sorts. After...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    I like the idea of doctor's being aware of the ecig's utility as an NRT. But if people forget to quit, and then upgrade...where's the harm? In the past, people finished the recommended time for prescription NRTs and then...started smoking again (the vast majority.) Staying on the NRT, any NRT...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    Rum is, in fact, a medical treatment anyway. Cures all sorts of things... ;-) Harm reduction, on the other hand, isn't a medical treatment. Just a way of doing what I enjoy with reduced risks. I used to ride motorbikes a lot- a moderately risky behaviour. I used to manage that risk by using...

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

    If you're right about regulation and consolidation (which you may be, but it isn't money in the bank) then what we're eventually likely to see is essentially prices swelling to whatever the market will bear, and selection of products reducing to whatever minimum the market absolutely demands...

    It's not really all about children. It's about how to raise money without hurting good people. This legislation makes sense, because it doesn't harm, or even inconvenience good people. Only tobacco users. Best regards, Ande

    Safety, or effectiveness? What do we want to prove?

    This question has come up in my mind a lot as we've discussed clinical trials and ecig related research on a lot of threads. In future study of electronic cigarettes, what are the goals we want to see met? Investigation of the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes as a stop-smoking aid? Or...

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

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention Bill. Will be standing by for the action alert- keep us posted with what we need to do. This is disturbing, to say the least, but...same old same old in some ways. Ande

    Email From Diane Feinstein

    Wow. Yes, Diane, we are all concerned about the children. Seriously- I am in favor of funding for special education. My only two questions: Is it fair for the costs of special education, which benefits a whole society, fall more on some than others? Is it smart to create a future situation...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    JF, I want to be clear here- Most of us are professionals in other fields, who have self-educated ourselves, out of self interest, in a lot of areas related to smoking cessation, medical testing, epidemiology, electronics, and a lot more. I suspect that you're an academic with rather more...

    Count your bottles

    Closing in on a year- probably 30 bottles round the house. (Guessing, not gonna count.) Most of them are relics of the process of finding out what I like. Now, I could really get by with 3-4 BIG bottles, though I still vape some of the big selection occasionally. But the ones I really want...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    +1 to that, Rolygate. And I wonder if you happen to have links to some of those joint signed letters to the press? As you might imagine, I have a lot of long conversations on this topic, and good source material is always useful in swaying people's ideas. Best, Ande

    When ~ and if ~ to cut out the nicotine?!

    Best advice I've heard is don't go too fast. Everyone I know who's rushed to get off the nic is now back on the cigs. Take your time. If your goal is to be addiction/nicotine free, give yourself time to get there. And before you start moving towards dropping the nic at all, make sure you're...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    And this is where it gets to be a hard fight. I was used to nicotine deprivation on flights, cause I couldn't smoke on'em for years. I don't WANT to fight this one. I really don't care. But I gotta. Because any spurious regulation becomes scaffolding for the construction of further...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    This is clearly true in your personal relationships. If I call a colleague or friend a liar, simply because he or she is lying all the time, it'll probably worsen the relationship, and the lying. But I'm not sure it IS true in this case. The FDA (or any other regulatory body) is not going to...

    My idea of a "novel approach" is not using the same old stuff!

    The purpose of this study, and the reason for its odd, slanted, conclusion: Not to put too fine a point on it, but this isn't a study, it's a commercial. If it were a study, it would have concluded: "Nicotine sampling therapy leads to experimentation with quitting, but ultimately does not...

    My idea of a "novel approach" is not using the same old stuff!

    Novel- Pharma NRTs are associated with some fairly random, odd things (floating abstinence, 24 hour abstinence, "self-defined quit attempts"), but not with quitting smoking. I think I've read this novel before. At least the plot is familiar- NRTs made to sound good, but don't lead to smoking...

    E-Cigarette Clinical Trials

    I'm probably the only one on this forum who doesn't (exactly) oppose a ban of use on planes. We're going through a real time of antismoking sentiment in society, and to keep vaping as far from that as possible, I don't think it's a good idea to go around ticking folks off. For that reason...
