    Why are Governments trying to BAN e-cigs when they are actually helping people!?

    I'll respectfully disagree :) Not that I'm saying it isn't complicated but there's certainly a lot of unfounded bias against vaping from government officials and anti-smoking organizations and when you strip away their spin-doctoring the only thing I see left if that they don't want something...

    Why are Governments trying to BAN e-cigs when they are actually helping people!?

    It's a love/hate relationship. Governments love the tax revenue that smoking generates but they hate the smokers. I honestly can't give you an answer as to why smokers and vapers are treated like pariahs - the only thing I can suggest is it's because we're different. We stand out from the...

    Are you weening down? Why not?

    Maybe up your nic for a while (or vape higher nic when you feel anxious/stressed and lower nic/zero nic the rest of the time). Make sure you're keeping hydrated with water/juice (just have some with you when you're vaping) and switch the flavours around - you can also try different PG/VG...

    2nd hand nicotine from vaping?

    Who's going to pay for those 'independent' studies? They're a myth - since BT, BP and various governments have their own agendas about e-cigarettes, any studies financed by them are liable to (and in some cases have proven to) be biased. So much pressure is being applied to regulate e-cigs as...

    Are you weening down? Why not?

    Seriously? You beat yourself up because you've got a nicotine dependency? All the things in this world you could be addicted to and you see nicotine addiction as 'disgusting'?? There's nothing wrong with it - and nothing wrong with me, or anyone else here that gets comfort from that addiction...

    Never touched a tobacco product in my life, my experience with vaping.

    Can't really say why you're not tasting the vape so I'll leave that for others to speculate on. Re: addiction - I'll quote myself from a previous post on ECF: Some of us here don't mind being addicted to nicotine, some have given it up altogether or are cutting down in order to cut their...

    Actually, the Viscount was quoting the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) which unfortunately is the agency that's going to be regulating e-cigarettes in the UK :facepalm:

    Christmas 2013: Towards a PeacE-Pipe? I've quoted the whole article and broken it up a bit to make it easier on the eyes - the original is a wall of text :D

    A sign of things to come for those that don't think e-cigs will be legislated against: Terrible :(

    GREAT article on the toxicity of nicotine!!

    Well as I've already said, my own opinion is that each attempt at negative propaganda vs vaping needs to be countered with rational argument backed by science - but we're a diverse and passionate community and patience will be worn thin and tempers will flare. We're all free to express...

    GREAT article on the toxicity of nicotine!!

    I agree in that in order for us to be taken seriously we need be rational and use science, personal testimony, social media and gatherings to get our point of view across and to make legislators understand that we won't just be swept into a corner to be marginalized like smokers already have...
