    New Massachusetts DA gets on the Regulation Train

    Unless it uses Disqus I can't comment. Have no desire to join Facebook, and for "proprietary" logins in the US, as a Canadian citizen - I'd rather not be subject to the "Patriot Act" law that completely ignores my privacy. Sorry!

    3,452 Parents and Grandparents urge President Obama to protect children from all tobacco products.

    Hey Andria! Just to make it easier, one kilogram equals 2.2045 pounds. So at the grocery store, if I want about a pound of ground beef, I make sure to grab a package that shows at least 500 grams (or half a kilogram [a kg = 1,000 grams]). I'm old enough that the majority of my pre-secondary...

    3,452 Parents and Grandparents urge President Obama to protect children from all tobacco products.

    Although I absolutely agree that we should ensure that e-liquid is well out of reach of children and pets, I believe your numbers are a little off. Dr. Bernd Meyer who has done a significant amount of research on this has calculated LD50 to be 6.5-13mg/kg. A 15 ml bottle of 24 mg/ml contains 360...

    Great article: Portland's (Maine) war on vaping

    Agree! Isn't Maine's motto supposed to be something like "Live free or die"?

    Must See video: Why CA hates vaping

    I just checked a moment ago and this video has now received over 100K hits. I am so pleased! I'd like to see it get into the millions. Wish I knew how to use those emoticons that make fireworks animations!

    Smoking-Related Stigmatization May Affect COPD Care and Research

    Knowledge and self-confidence translate into the immunity you applaud. You and I are only 5'ish years apart in age and one of the things I've found is as I get older (and hopefully wiser), I have less tolerance for BS, although strangely enough more patience and compassion. Believe to your core...

    Smoking-Related Stigmatization May Affect COPD Care and Research

    My take is that the shaming is completely unethical. As a smoker for about 40 years, I'm going to tell you - I WAS/AM NOT ASHAMED - just ...... off at ignorant small-minded people for attempting to treat this intelligent woman as "less than"! Further, I am not ashamed to walk down the street...

    Dear Mr President...

    So I'm not sure what to make of that - again from an "outside" perspective It appeared as if he was trying to help make life better for people who were at a a serious disadvantage. I honestly want to understand what was actually going on. So as not to hijack this thread, please feel free to PM...

    Dear Mr President...

    I'm not sure if that's your position, but here's how it looks from "Up-north". I'll speak for just myself,many others may agree or not, but I for one was absolutely overjoyed to see an intelligent, caring person elected to the presidency of the US. It appears that every "good" thing he was...

    CDC & FDA roll out media scare re kids vaping based on 2014 NYTS data

    So are you equally comfortable classifying e-cigs as eggplant products, as they are the second in line in terms of plant based nicotine?

    Live Webcast at Harvard School of Public Health

    Did they not learn from the "ultra light" cigarette debacle that smokers are self-titrating, and if you reduce the nicotine they will simply smoke more until their levels hit what they need. This means they would have to take in that much more of the products of combustion to get the nicotine...

    Live Webcast at Harvard School of Public Health

    I thought I saw a link to the post discussion media conference call on one of the posts in our forum, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone direct me to it?

    Must See video: Why CA hates vaping

    Absolutely - I'm all for authenticity! My "left brain" accountant side just compels me to notice these things - but be assured, it was my caring side that offered the "tip" with the best of intentions. Anyway, I hope you took it that way.

    Study finds nicotine safe, helps in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's

    Robert, you have my condolences. I hope you found as I have, what I call the "Zen" of Alzheimers, learning to live and love in the moment.

    Study finds nicotine safe, helps in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's

    I'm in the process of getting my dad (who is afflicted with fairly advanced Alzheimers) onto Nicotine patches. The Director of Care is actually quite open to the idea. The objective being to help my dad maintain calmness and help with focus so we can further reduce his psychotropic meds. Not...

    NYT: Peering Through the Haze

    OMG!!! A journalist who chose to look beyond the headlines AND used logic in forming his opinions (it was an opinion piece after all), while still presenting both sides of the story - this one's a "keeper".

    CDC & FDA roll out media scare re kids vaping based on 2014 NYTS data

    I was comparing the FDA infographic bar chart percentages in the OP with Brad Rodu's slide prepared from the CDC raw data showing the breakdown between e-cig use only, both e-cig and cigarette, and just cigarettes over 2011 - 2013 and I'm pretty sure that the 9.2 that CDC/FDA is quoting is total...

    Live Webcast at Harvard School of Public Health

    I got a real chuckle when the first question was from Reuters. The CDC released their Youth Smoking Survey results at one pm, right in the middle of the webcast, so the Reuters question was about the panel's reaction to the significant reduction in high school smoking rates. You could really see...

    Canada BC has fallen as Parliament passed Bill 14 "Tobacco Protection Act"

    Here's a link to the "Tobacco Control Amendment Act, 2015" Bill 14 – 2015: Tobacco Control Amendment Act, 2015 This goes far beyond what "responsible vapers should be doing anyway". Read the "explanatory notes" at the end of the act (so that you don't have to dig out the actual "Tobacco...
