    Do most people ever quit vaping?

    Smoking can be regarded as purely an addiction, a joyless burden. Smoking can also be regarded as a genuinely enjoyable activity. Everyone who smokes falls somewhere in the perception spectrum between those two extremes. People who decided years ago that they would like nothing better than to...

    My daughter's class was given this article in science class

    Haha, awesome. That site will go into my collection of dangerously compelling, silly reading bookmarks -- along with TV Tropes and the "blog" of unnecessary "quotations." Wow. If #5 and #6 are really taught in public schools ... Uh, wow! There are no words. :( Thank you, Anja. Your...

    My daughter's class was given this article in science class

    This is the worst kind of sophistry -- willful ignorance dressed up as conscientious altruism. A reporter doesn't get to claim that his story is accurate on the basis that only his sources lied. And anyone defending that reporter isn't morally superior to the rest of us. The Fourth Estate has...

    My daughter's class was given this article in science class

    Oh, I wouldn't expend the effort. Instead I'll just ask; what is your point? Do you think it's acceptable for grade-school science teachers to pass off non-scientific political hit pieces as legitimate subjects of study? Nothing said in the article by the news reporter herself was inaccurate...

    A visitor from the future! Tell me, who should I bet in the Super Bowl? Will bell bottoms ever make a comeback? WHERE ARE THE FLYING CARS THE JETSONS PROMISED US?!?!?!

    Mt. Baker? Meh.

    It's not necessarily that the juices are crappy. Some of my least favorite juices have an extremely good reputation. Heck, Phil Busardo seems to hate everything I like and to love the things I hate most; his taste seems to be the inverse of mine. That doesn't mean he's wrong, and it doesn't...

    At least you've moved on from stone tablets. Endless problems with that tech.

    MBV pulls cinnamon juices

    The woman works in emoticons the way master artists might work in oils or clay.

    Anytime, Linden. Please do check back in to let us know how it all turns out.

    Yeouch. I'm irritated on your behalf. :( Here's a good start on the rebuttal front: CDC Belatedly Reveals That Smoking By Teenagers Dropped While Vaping Rose - Forbes

    God, I love that guy. Thanks for posting this.

    Mt. Baker? Meh.

    Yeah, again, I can understand why some people might find the promotion cheesy or shady, but $10 in store credit isn't enough to get anyone who wasn't already inclined to make and post a youtube video. It sure as hell isn't enough for me to do the youtube thing. This really isn't any different...

    Irony

    It's, uh, like a black fly in your chardonnay? ;) (I think Comma referred to the hospital's policy of not allowing e-cigs on the basis that they're tobacco products, even though they allow patches and gum -- which have the same type and similar amounts of tobacco extract in them as any e-cig...

    Agreed. :) And please do post more, when convenient. You write very well.

    MBV pulls cinnamon juices

    Believe me, I'm about as anti-ANTZ as they come. But I don't see the slippery slope here. In fact, there have been previous indications that cinnamon isn't the safest thing to vape. This isn't a case of Prue Talbot's acolyte merely throwing a dart at a wall and the e-juice industry leaping...

    Media destroying a brick and mortar!

    Great news! I'm so glad. I didn't watch the video because I don't have sound right now, but the attached article is much better -- still a little slanted towards the ANTZ position on the whole, but comparing the following passages is an unexpected pleasure: :)

    MBV pulls cinnamon juices

    I don't disagree with any of that, but you and I aren't in the e-juice business. It's easy for us to say that this-or-that study isn't good cause to villify a given flavoring, but MBV has to act in its own (and by extension, its customers') best long-term interest. The study in question may...

    Irony

    Yep, gotta love hospitals these days. Banning vaping on the premises -- heck, banning smoking on outdoor premises -- is the very opposite of humane treatment of the sick and their depressed friends and relatives. But hey, who cares about bedside manner?
