    Any vapors who have never smoked?

    Dunno why you'd want to do that, friend. If you haven't got a nic habit no sense in starting one. They're a fine help for those who need to quit, but you'd be better off finding another way to unwind.

    Poll at MSNBC website

    Thanks. Among politicians (and for some avid partisans) this might be a Republican vs Democrat issue but among ordinary people, including liberals, it most certainly isn't. I'd not be surprised to see a strong anti-reg poll vote at MSNBC. Currently 77% no.

    FDA Discussion of SFATA conference & FDA proposal on VP Live radio

    I liked Roger on the show. I wouldn't have quite appreciated the intensity of his exasperation if I hadn't been following his posts closely in ECF, which are always meticulously referenced, respectfully presented and unusually politic for this forum. I hadn't expected such a ...passionate...

    FDA Could the FDA really regulate E-Liquid??

    Nothing new to us, of course. But it's a credible study, and that's a lot of samples, and the FDA et alia will be most pleased. As far as I know they never publicly tested for that after finding those - two cartos was it? - in 2010. Is the thing. Deeply hope I'm wrong that this will be a big...

    Civil Disobedience in Central Park, N.Y.

    Edit, double post. I can't steer when I'm upset. :/ PS Note that Katya will defend her fellow vapers in the field even when they're being ridiculous and counterproductive, against random, casual snark. I won't, apparently. Katya wins. Seriously.

    Civil Disobedience in Central Park, N.Y.

    I'm with Racehorse et alia on this one, but just read about some study results by a guy on our side that I'd had hopes for (see Could the FBI <-- typo FDA Really...? thread in Legislation, last page), and am severely bummed, and would rather hug Katya than quarrel with her any day, any way. I...

    Civil Disobedience in Central Park, N.Y.

    Gonna have to draw a different crowd to play in NY, Jman. The writer is fine with vaping; he's annoyed by a particular rhetoric/political subculture. (So am I, actually, drives me nuts in here sometimes, but I have a horse in this race so I cope. Usually. :) )

    FDA Could the FDA really regulate E-Liquid??

    Oh CRAP. :( I remember the 2010 thread well, and many subsequent discussions in here. Despite the lower-risk-than-cigarettes, this issue (unlike so many) is real. I wish I could pretend that it isn't. Some will; many in here have been dismissive, others (like myself) have sought mindful...

    threads about edema/water retention are closed?

    Georgia? Jeez. Are there seriously no free or low cost clinics for unemployed persons there? Those symptoms sound significant to me, and I'm thinking not vape-related. It's outrageous that you can't get good medical care. Whatever you think of ACA, where I live NO one is denied needed health...

    Voice acting + Vaping

    If you need to sound like Tom Waits, I hear that smoking 4 packs of cigarettes a day helps. I'd be deeply pondering the trade-off there. :) Honestly, I've never seen anyone in here but me mention voice in relation to vaping. One of my favorite surprises was the gradual return of my singing...

    TIME magazine says: E-cigarettes do not help people quit smoking..

    Chantix, yeah. I'm a retired psychotherapist and a pretty damned good diagnostician. A few years before I retired I had an extremely disturbed client who presented with really baffling symptoms - the man had clearly suffered a psychotic break of some sort but everything was atypical. Symptoms...

    FDA The Predicate Product of 2006 for FDA: Meet the Ruyan V8 , Early Innovator and Marketer of E-Ciig Vaping

    Roger: "but they also cannot entirely ignore the notion of a MRTP" That. The others, also. And now I will sleep, with those little sugarplums of rationally supportable hope dancing in my addled head.
