    Today 9/11/13 - On Point with Tom Ashbrook

    Is there a post on this forum that links directly to a lot of the studies done? Lost a lot of my links when I redid my computer system. As I figure with the crowd we are running into on that site it is almost best to link directly to the studies and use some quotes contained within them...

    Canadian news article- E-cigarettes as helpful as the patch to kick the habit: Study

    E-cigarettes as helpful as the patch to kick the habit: Study | Life | Winnipeg Sun Although it is not very detailed with information and refers to the e-cig as only "modestly effective", I am very happy to see something other then fear mongering. It seems to be very rare here.

    Junk Science Sucks!

    I hear you on this, I've had less sick days because I no longer catch every single virus going around. For a while increased productivity with not having to take breaks to enjoy my e-cig. Just waiting now for that day someone complains that I have to take e-cig breaks, unfortunately you always...

    Junk Science Sucks!

    Thanks for all the feedback :) To update this went through our head office, and unfortunately the junk science is easier to find so their position is that it isn't approved by Health Canada. For the better part of a year everyone I worked with including my bosses were really supportive and...

    Junk Science Sucks!

    Oh I most definitely will be doing this when people ask about my strange looking device..lol. I just tend to get frustrated at the lack of logic, lack of looking at the actual science on it and not making a decision based on real facts, and its the first time I've actually come across it with...

    Junk Science Sucks!

    Yeah I pointed that out, the reply was the concern over what others were being exposed to. Why I reference the junk science, it makes me sick all the misinformation that is put out to win people over with half truths and lies. In this day and age people shouldn't have to dig through the junk to...

    Junk Science Sucks!

    Well for the first time in my vaping venture I finally have come across someone that bought into the junk science out there. Unfortunately just happens to be someone that has a say on whether I can vape at work or not. So as of today I am to be treated like a smoker sent out to vape with the...

He finally came into town couple weeks ago tried mine and could see my set up working for him and placed his first order this week for himself and his wife. Had to...

    Is vaping bad for someone who takes care of their voice and skin?

    I found after about a month of vaping that I had a number of people I know comment that my skin tone looked better healthier. Have a little bit of the quit zits, but overall I notice now that my skin doesn't feel as dried out as it use to.

    Well all Canadian members can say we don't listen to HC and have a mind of our own that we choose to use :) Otherwise we wouldn't be on ECF :)

    What would you do if e-cigs were criminalized in Canada?

    A & B as it would still be cheaper then the stinkies which are sure to see more hikes in price as time goes by, plus I like the health perks of ecigs that I've personally experienced and the way it mimics a few things I did enjoy about smoking. Downfall have to learn to stealth vape, that would...
