    What do anti-tobacco zealots do when they retire?

    I don't know if he's retired, but apparently his TC checks are drying up so he's off to greener pa$ture$.

    New claims vaping leads to hard drugs

    Oh, and btw, I'm told it's hitting Canadian news now as well.

    New claims vaping leads to hard drugs

    I am in real distress over this study, and not just because it's another ludicrous anti-ecig work. I knew Eric and Denise Kandel back in the day and have had, until now, great respect for his work (not as familiar with hers, so I'll pass on her part in this). To see him debase his good name...

    I did it that way too. Done now. If you haven't tweeted yet, it's not too late to start!

    A new study verifies the lower risk-potential of e-cigarettes but identifies an avoidable risk

    From Dr. Farsalinos: A new study verifies the lower risk-potential of e-cigarettes but identifies an avoidable risk His report, as always, presents his findings with the right perspective. My take: The good news: Diacetyl is identified in several eliquid formulations*. Industry will take note...

    You're approaching the situation with the right attitude; I think you'll both do well! :thumbs:

    Utah charges three online e-cig companies for violating state laws

    I agree, which is why I always react with sketicism to any "free trial" offer and always read the fine print carefully! (Also those offers of services at "$14.95 for the 1st six months"...)

    Telegraph article claims "i was smoking the equivalent of 40 cigarettes a day"

    Christopher Snowden, on his "Velvet Glove Iron Fist" blog, has a thing or two to say about this article: http://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com/2014/09/pig-ignorant-two-bit-columnist-of-month.html I can only make snarky comments on it; it deserves no better. It occurred to me while reading it...

    FDA FDA bans 7 Star Ariva and Stonewall dissolvable tobacco lozenges (that are very similar to NRT lozenges)

    Carl Phillips just blogged about this: FDA signals that nothing is ever It's a must read, but I suggest having some high-nic vape handy when you do...

    Best setup for elderly woman?

    I second the DV BCC clearo suggestion. I use them in my daily rotation; they have a large opening for refill, and changing out the coils is easy. Though keep in mind they are plastic, so be careful not to use tank-killer eliquids in them. I also highly recommend Discount Vapers! Thank you...

    Utah charges three online e-cig companies for violating state laws

    As wary as I am of any inroads made to restrict legitimate ecig marketing, in this case I think Utah is justified and I'm glad to see them go after the shady vendors. As far as I can tell, this action is based on deceptive marketing practices and not on any public health concerns, which is as it...

    WHO statement on E-cigs.

    I can't speak to Facebook, but if you're on twitter, check out #ImwithClive to see the groundswell of support he's getting from vapers (and from anyone who supports free speech, for that matter). https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=%23ImwithClive&src=tyah

    Is it time to boycott CVS? The 'no tobacco' policy may be worse than you thought

    I gave up on CVS years ago, because their prices weren't competitive. While I defend the right of any business to establish its own policy about what products to carry, I certainly won't patronize a business whose policies offend me (i.e. CVS), and will definitely not even enter a business...

    FDA "Health" Departments all over the country submit identical comments to FDA

    Good work, DrMA. I'm not surprised at all.

    A simple vaping life

    My life is not easy. On the one hand, I'm a collector by nature: If I like something, I want one in every color. I am very curious about most things, so if a new model of something comes out, I want to try it. On the other hand, when I retired I began the long hard journey to simplifying my...
