    16 Sep 14: Memo to public health grandees: vaping, vapers and you (by Clive Bates)

    I'll say one thing about Ashtongate: It's given us the perfect opportunity to respond to those in "public health" who hold us in such contempt. Here's another blogger who's up to the challenge: A Further Message to Public Health Professionals | Revelations Of A Steam-Powered Human

    Another abysmal study of ecigs surfaces at European conference

    Frank Davis is a British blogger I follow somewhat regularly: Frank Davis | Banging on about the Smoking Ban ("Banging on About the Smoking Ban") Both he and Junican: Bolton Smokers Club | A FORUM FOR THE PEOPLE OF BOLTON WHO ENJOY TOBACCO make some excellent points in their posts about...

    Study demonstrates that dry-burning may be bad for you

    ^^^ This, absolutely ^^^ Goes to show, Big Anything (research, TC, regulation, legislation) is so far behind the learning curve vs. ecig research and development, I doubt they'll ever be able to catch up in any significant way.

    Another abysmal study of ecigs surfaces at European conference

    The ANTZ researchers are having to be more and more creative, aren't they, in order to show harm from ecigs? I ask myself, how can I trust any work by researchers, given what the anti-ecig scientists are capable of? They're bringing the whole field into disrepute. And that's just sad.

    Health chief steps down after crude 'e-cig' rant on Twitter

    Both Clives Bates and Jo Lincoln (redheadfullofsteam) have new posts on their blogs about this. Both excellent: Bates lets "public health" have it in no uncertain terms, and Jo skewers them with her usual wit. I recommend them both: Memo to public health grandees: vaping, vapers and you « The...

    E-cigs under fire by an Orwellian Shadowy Cabal

    Brilliant sleuthing, Stefan! I've downloaded the pdf Staff Report, as it wouldn't surprise me that it disappears from the web once CLS becomes aware they've been exposed. I love the way the report justifies this ordinance because the ALA has given them an F: It would appear the ALA is now...

    World Vaping Day 2014 is coming up soon

    Wow, this snuck up on me! No time to plan anything now. Should I conclude that this will be a non-event for most vapers? :(

    Health chief steps down after crude 'e-cig' rant on Twitter

    I too was on twitter while this incident was occurring. I don't care how many "good works" this person has done in the past, his exchange with vapers showed his fundamental mindset: utter contempt for smokers and vapers. He's busted, and he deserves everything he gets. As far as I can see, he's...

    (Congrats Missouri!) Fight for Your Right to #Vape - Daily Action Plan for Thursday, 09.11.14

    Tweeted. I happened to be on twitter last night when the override ?motion? came up in the MO House and when BRAVE and AVA tweeted the final vote. It was a moment I'll remember for a long, long time! I salute all those who worked so hard to make it happen!

    WARNING!! Check before you vape!

    I use a DV BCC clearo in my daily rotation (totally clear tank, tip, central tube, all one piece). This past summer was bad for the little no-seeums (tiny, tiny little gnats, I think). Sitting on the porch one night, started to take a vape and saw several no-seeums clinging to the inside of the...

    Does this remind you of any other health campaign?

    Incredible. Big Sugar. The Blame Game. Blame somebody else, anybody else. It worked on Big Tobacco, so what's the next industry we can blame for all our woes? Never mind inconvenient, pesky ideas like personal or parental responsibility. That takes too much effort. Let the state do it...

    Dept of ?huh?: Just saw a CVS "come to us to stop smoking" TV ad: Voiceover: "With our help, you can breathe easier." Picture: Underwater view of kid in swimming pool. :facepalm: :laugh: :facepalm:
