    Must See video: Why CA hates vaping

    That is a great response - we need more like it! I will share a little "pneumonic" with you though, "There is only one "s" in desert because the climate is so harsh you only get one chance, but dessert has two "s's" because you can always have a second helping".

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

    Just to be clear - this was a provincial, not federal Bill, so it will only be applicable in BC and it doesn't ban vaping (in fact it legitimizes it in a twisted sort of way), it adds "vapour products" to the Tobacco Control Act. This means that all existing restrictions on tobacco products...

    Must See video: Why CA hates vaping

    I have an imperfect knowledge of US history, having said that, isn't there a tradition of simply not accepting unreasonable taxes? Something about Tea and Boston Harbour? I'm not advocating dumping e-liquid into any body of water, but facts are facts and to me it is completely abhorrent to allow...

    PBS segment on Vaping

    I sent the following email to Mel Rogers, the CEO of PBS CoCal, under the heading: "I expect better research from PBS" "I just watched the Studio SoCal segment "E-cigarettes: Waiting to Exhale", and although Rick Reiff and Elizabeth Espinosa did ask some probing questions, much mis-information...

    Live Webcast at Harvard School of Public Health

    Do we know the positions (on vaping) held by the individual members of the expert panel? Has anyone heard of, or about, them?

    e cigs slowing down in France

    For those who don't read French or are not familiar with Google translate, the gist of the story is: Business is down because of - the explosion of new entrants into the vape shop business (smaller slice of the pie for each shop) - internet sales - indoor vaping restrictions - ANTZ...

    Newspaper poll needs vaping input

    That's the stereotype. I have many friends and acquaintances who happen to live below the 49th parallel, and most of them are "good people". The stereotype of Canadians as "polite" can be somewhat misleading. I'll share a little anecdote with you. A fellow I played tennis with a number of years...

    Newspaper poll needs vaping input

    You need to move to the West Coast Caramel - Southern Vancouver Island in particular (we didn't have any snow that lasted more than a day all winter this year). Moved here from Montreal in 1973 and although I miss that special "joie de vivre" of Montrealers, I can't imagine living anywhere else...

    "Why do we still smoke?"

    A very enjoyable read! If the formaldehyde reference wasn't there, I'd have more confidence in the rest of the analytics portions though.

    Newspaper poll needs vaping input

    Literacy Facts and Links - ABC CANADA Literacy Foundation If you Google literacy in Canada it says 99%, but stats from a 2005 Statistics Canada survey indicated that, "Four out of 10 adult Canadians, age 16 to 65 - representing 9 million Canadians - struggle with low literacy." That works out...

    Newspaper poll needs vaping input

    The article is three weeks old, but I was shocked at how few people voted for the "no, e-cigs emit vapour not smoke". Take a look and put your two cents in. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/vaping-on-oc-transpo-won-t-mean-fine-but-sto-says-it-will-1.2989312

    U.S. Ad Campaign Challenge Value of E-Cigs in Quitting Smoking

    All of this continues to crystallize a concept I've had "fermenting" in the back of my mind for a while. The reason I believe that vaping will eventually prevail, where as smokers we were not able to hold off the "steamrollers", is the penetration of the internet and the ubiquity of social media...

    What a Bunch of BS

    Could we please stop feeding the troll. I've gotten thoroughly fed up of trying (and seeing others also try) to provide logical, reasoned and thoughtful responses to a particular member. I'm now at the point that if I see that user name or avatar, I simply page on by and don't allow myself to...

    Cautious Optimism

    So, I was talking with some very experienced "Legislature" watchers and the fact that this was not put through within a few days means either that they are incorporating amendments to the legislation, or this Bill will "die on the order paper".The Leg is on Easter break now until April 13th. I...

    Cautious Optimism

    Here's the text of what I sent to every MLA in the British Columbia Legislature after I found out that they had introduced a bill to add "vapour products" to the Tobacco Control Act. (Even though it just "killed me" to refer to them as "Honourable Members"). It may not do any good but I am...

    NatPost reports: Federal 'legalization' of vaping, 'ban' not an option in Canada

    It is irksome to see that terminology used when they were not illegal. On the other hand I've had a lot of people comment to me (pointing at my APV) saying, "I thought those things were illegal". If that reflects the understanding of the general "non-vaping" population, maybe its a good thing to...

    NatPost reports: Federal 'legalization' of vaping, 'ban' not an option in Canada

    I do see this as encouraging. It is also exactly the time for vapers (particularly Canadians, but any vapers of any nationality to MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD!). This is one of the first times I've noticed Canada taking a lead role. I fully expected them to wait and see what the US would do. Tell...

    NatPost reports: Federal 'legalization' of vaping, 'ban' not an option in Canada

    This particular report actually seems to offer up cig-a-likes as a sacrifice to the renormalization chant of, "we don't want children to see anything that looks like smoking". This is a double edged sword in that many have an unsuccessful first introduction to vaping via cig-a-likes - but it...

    E-cigarette ban ‘not an option’: Commons health committee calls for legalization

    What I liked in this article was the bias towards tank systems rather than "cig-a-likes" - given that, from what we read on ECF and my own experience, cig-a-likes just don't provide the full satisfaction of a good set-up.
