    study : Flavoring Chemicals in E-Cigarettes: Diacetyl, 2,3-Pentanedione......

    Interesting. I actually created my account here (two and a half years ago) to discuss Dr Polosa's study on early e-cig use and smoking cessation rates. It was one of the few out at the time and, although the rates were lower than I expected from my "accidental" quitting and empirical observation...

    Class Action Lawsuit Did Not Know Vapor Contained Nicotine

    Do you know what occurred to me? The exhalations of all people contain millions of bacteria, and depending on exposure, a bunch of viruses as well. So the unseen/invisible exhalations of each and every person is likely far more "dangerous" than any vapour exhalant out there. Don't both PG and VG...

    Class Action Lawsuit Did Not Know Vapor Contained Nicotine

    So from prior documentation the "population" studied were, either previously or currently smokers. Now, I am still not convinced that smoking cigarettes is a "sure fire" way to get cancer (my personal view is that heredity and stress load have a much higher correlation - although not necessarily...

    Class Action Lawsuit Did Not Know Vapor Contained Nicotine

    I'm aware that ingested (at a dose too high to not be vomited out immediately) nicotine can be toxic, but I certainly have not come across any reputable studies that show nicotine as a carcinogen. Anyone have a link?

    Chit Chattin Pagans, Come sit a spell:

    This is amazing! I had never come across this forum before. I don't know that I would "officially" fall into any of the self-specified "categories" that have been mentioned - on the other hand I very well may default into one. Connection with animals, earth, energy - disappointed with mainstream...

    Now an iStick 50 makes news for an accident

    Let's talk about - paying attention. I use good equipment, not the cheapest, or the most expensive - the products that at that time had the best record. The other day my trusty Nitecore I4 charger started "ghost" charging a slot that didn't have a battery in it. What was my reaction? I retired...

    Convert to the cause explains his thinking

    What a great and refreshing blog! It is still disturbing that the TPD and the FDA Deeming are either here or on the horizon. It actually makes a normally law abiding citizen (me) so angry that my reaction is - "To hell with them! I will continue to find a way, not only to vape for myself, but...

    E-cigarettes are NOT a gateway and they DO help people quit

    The 0% is probably because the survey was limited to current vapers. You'd have to include all customers including those that only purchased once (or a few times) and never came back to capture those for whom vaping was not successful.

    Facebook Bans A Billion Lives

    I like this simplistic and to the point definition: Deeming is saying something is, what it isn't.

    Jackson Co. Ohio gives ecigs to county employees

    @818 Absolutely see your point. It just happened "organically" for me. I never, ever had the intention to quit smoking (particularly right then). I still have my own permission to smoke a cigarette - if I want to. That just hasn't happened since three days after starting vaping. Sure, I've...

    Can you help? Vape Manifest USA! Let's make B&Ms visible....

    Please let me know when B&Ms in Canada are included, there are three multi-location vendors in my area and several "one-offs" that I will send the appropriate link to. Also once you have the online vendor questionnaire ready, I will forward to several more.

    Is Spending MSA Money Fighting Vaping Legal?

    Don't you DARE give up! Countries around the world are waiting to pin their TC on what the FDA does. Fight hard and fight long - this is too important a public health miracle to allow it to be washed away by political/tax considerations. The female doctor, Dr. Frances Kelsey (born on the...

    Change {dot} org petition for congress to reject the deeming regs

    I have to say - even though the numbers are "good", I am sadly disappointed that this petition has not yet gone viral. I actually signed another change.org petition about some baby bears and that one has almost hit 250K. Where are all of the politically aware vapers? I'll be the first to say...

    I especially liked the professor's comment, "Causing unjustified alarm is as bad as living in ignorance".

    Change {dot} org petition for congress to reject the deeming regs

    Is there a process to apply to have this made a global thread? It certainly affects all vapers and I think it is equally/more important than a product giveaway. BTW, if I could make a suggestion on the petition page - The graphic of the the mech mod appears quite "grubby" to me. To really...

    Snopes investigation of FB post claim

    Why is it that "tripe" like this gets 47,000 views and a petition to the president of the USA to reject the deeming regulations only gets a little under 18,000 signatures after a week?
