    US surveys show 15 - 21 million vapers - the chat thread

    I acknowledge with great applause 818. Although I personally chose not to buy that "next carton", I had never set out to quit so theoretically I could choose to have an "analog" cigarette at any time. I actually don't want to as vanilla custard tastes soo much better! Perhaps that is the...

    US surveys show 15 - 21 million vapers - the chat thread

    You've heard previously why that is not a practical option. While it is absolutely important to challenge "group think", it must be done on a logical basis and be supported by observations that can replicated in the observation of measurable events. None of the arguements you have put forward...

    US surveys show 15 - 21 million vapers - the chat thread

    Steve, Let's drop the pretence. Your continued refusal to abide by the rules of logical debate makes any sort of constructive discussion difficult - if not impossible. I have no problem at all with you as a person. Your behaviour, on the other hand in this and other threads, is truly the very...

    US surveys show 15 - 21 million vapers - the chat thread

    Hey Steve, I've seen you responding to comments about your position, but not any reaction to what I've shared with you about the experience in my workplace (roughly a 60% conversion ratio amongst regular smokers). Just so you are aware - Victoria has one of the more "draconian" Clean Air...

    US surveys show 15 - 21 million vapers - the chat thread

    Hi Stevegmu! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alison and I live near Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. Now I realize this is not "face-to-face" and "in-person", but I assure you I am a real person. I vape exclusively and have not smoked a cigarette for well over a year and a half. I...

    Throat problems?

    OP if you are an ex-smoker and in the first few months of vaping, this could be your body getting rid of years of build-up of cigarette "goop" from your lungs.

    Article: World's Top Scientist's Issue Surprising Statement on ECigs

    Come on people. Two wrongs do not make a "right". Even though I've now been an (accidental) ex-smoker for well over a year, I would never, ever, vilify a current smoker, or someone who happened to be obese, or any other portion of the population that was truly affecting only themselves with...

    Vaping Militia Posted this early this evening...

    I've just started looking and already I've found a $617+k grant to UCSF from one of the three Pfizer listings.

    Update:ny child dies of nicotine poisoning.

    Skoony, I can only speak for myself, but I truly appreciate the extra efforts you have made to try and bring the facts to us. I'm going to assume (and I may certainly be wrong) but I would expect that the majority of people who have been following this thread are very much saddened that someone...

    Greetings!

    Finally! Bought my first Provari last night - P3 satin silver. It's soo smooth and quiet and tasty. I'm a very happy camper. Next week the fresh shipment of Nautilus toppers is expected and that will complete my vaping quest - for now.

    New vaper survey: make your voice heard!

    I completed it also with lots of comments. Appreciate the fact I can follow the data on their Facebook page ( I don't have one [and don't want one] - just "borrow" from a friend on the few occasions I need to).

    Meta analysis of 6 studies finds 18% smoking cessation rate for smokers who tried e-cigs, published in AHA's Circulation

    What I really liked about this abstract was it's use of the descriptor "enriched with nicotine" rather than the ever popular "nicotine laced".

    Time magazine article

    I think the article is great - my only issue with it is that it reinforces/promulgates the myth that nicotine (by itself) is addictive (and bad). Haven't we been provided with enough information to know that the addictive habit of smoking (combusted tobacco) has as much, if not more, to do with...

    Call to Action: Ask Your Legislators to Support a Change to the Tobacco Control Act

    That was my concern too. Couldn't we simply phone or e-mail them directly? I paused in the typing of my reply to search their websites myself for email addresses and it appears that the only way to send them an email is through their websites after you enter your zip code. This of course...

    Journal Addiction puts together collection of vaping science

    I actually received a prompt response from Robert West yesterday. Here's the email thread (I've removed email and physical address information from the note as I'm not sure of the policy on ECF) : Dear Alison Many thanks - and thanks for notifying me about the typo. I'm copying this to the...

    I'm battling some ANTZ from Cali with edits to the wikipedia page on e-cigs

    Hang in there DrMA! I second DC2's comments, please don't give up - it is literally of "life or death" importance for smokers who try to research the vaping alternative to receive accurate, unbiased, scientific and evidence based information. Wiki is the first place many people go. You are doing...

    Journal Addiction puts together collection of vaping science

    I actually e-mailed him (Robert West) to thank him for this excellent resource - and pointed out a small typo that I asked him to correct so that I could use the page as a reference when dealing with anti e-cig policy makers. I'll let you know what his response is (it is the weekend after all).

    Talk about Deja Vue!

    The "Dallas Buyers Club" just made it to satellite. OMG! If I didn't already believe that FDA wasn't actually about health, I sure as hell would now. I mean, I was sorta ...... off before - now I'm seriously furious! And I don't even live in the US. Part of me doesn't even want to look at this...

    New working paper by Philips, Nissen and Rodu - Must read.

    Wow! Great discussion. What occurred to me, reading the last two posts, is that maybe I don't fit in the 1-5 so perhaps there is another category - as yet undescribed. So how would you categorize someone who had never attempted to quit (and had no desire to - after 40 years finally at 2PAD), but...
