    Let's talk about the 'gateway' effect...

    Lol! I work better with a debate :D But navigator2011 had a good point - nicotine (in high enough doses) is toxic, it's highly addictive in cigarettes and may still be somewhat addictive in vapour. None of us would want our kids to be saddled with a crippling, debilitating addiction and to...

    Good for her! :) Nice to see so many success stories here (apparently we're all Big Tobacco lobbyists :D)

    Let's talk about the 'gateway' effect...

    Well, I agree that e-cigs are mostly likely to gain acceptance as a smoking cessation device (and when they do we'll be pressured to quit vaping because we're only supposed to be using these things to quit nicotine). Re: nicotine - I'm no expert - and if there's people on here that know better...

    Let's talk about the 'gateway' effect...

    Well, we shouldn't have to - vaping should be judged on its own merits (or lack of them) - allowing cigarette smoking to be brought into the argument for/against e-cigs is muddying the waters - yes, e-cigs are a wonderful option for smokers looking for a healthier option but taken on their own...

    Let's talk about the 'gateway' effect...

    The point is, if someone - adult, child, smoker, non-smoker - chooses to vape nicotine (or not, 0mg) - in harmless amounts through a harmless device that's harmless to those around them - what's the uh... harm? :) I think some vapers feel that the visual similarities between smoking and vaping...

    Let's talk about the 'gateway' effect...

    And whilst cigarettes are still available for kids or adults to smoke (which they will be for a long, long time), having a less addictive, less harmful nicotine-containing product on the market won't be a gateway to smoking - cigarettes are the gateway to smoking - e-cigs are the gateway to a...

    Let's talk about the 'gateway' effect...

    There's a post in the new member forums about non-smokers that have taken up vaping. For some vapers here that seems to be a taboo subject - they're concerned that any evidence that non-smokers are getting on to nicotine via vaping or (horror!) moving on from vaping to smoking is damaging to...

    Ban Coffee Pots in the interest of "Big Caffeine"? he he

    Please don't even joke about it! :D If I had to choose between quitting coffee or quitting smoking/vaping I honestly don't think I could!!! :blink: Only so many things you can remove before the machine breaks down :D

    When to quit analogs after starting e-cig

    I did it after 3 days and made a point to go for a walk and throw away all my remaining tobacco, filter tips and papers. I figured I could just vape but so long as there was tobacco in the house I'd still have an analog if I really wanted one. Now when I get the craving for a real ciggie (two...

    Vaping is not for me

    The way I read this is that the OP confessed it was a selfish act on their part (to keep their kid away from tobacco smoke) but people seem to think he views smoking as selfish. Regardless of anyone's personal intentions for persuading someone to switch to vaping, providing they can present the...

    EU EU update

    Note that on our own poll here - What level of nicotine keeps you off tobacco? - most of ECF's members use 24mg - the 2nd highest group is 18mg. Switching from cigs to e-cigs is going to be much harder for heavy smokers when these rules come into force. And anything that prevents helping smokers...

    Six US Senate Dems urge FTC to investigate “false, deceptive and misleading” e-cig marketing practices

    Wow. So much hate and stupid in one letter!!! Amazing that these people have managed to avoid all the facts that are out there :blink:

    Caught a patient smoking

    A long time ago I used to catch a train into work every day and on the platform would be two guys standing next to each other. One of them looked in his late twenties/early thirties, the other slightly older. Every day, around 5 minutes before the train was due the older guy would pull out a...

    Shamefully returning after reverting back to analogs

    No shame in the occasional slip-up :) even on past unsuccessful attempts to quit smoking (before I discovered e-cigs) I always gave myself credit for the ciggies I hadn't smoked - good luck!!
