    Interesting and fairly neutral article in Nature

    I'm actually concerned about some of the assertions. I would like to see Dr. Farsalinos review the purported study of the effect of e-liquid on lung cells (citations 23 and 24)

    4 years!

    Congratulations, well done! Just out of curiosity, why do you find vaping (or not) an "issue to grapple with"?

    19 Aug 14 - Bill Godshall - Another View: The Pros of Electronic Cigarettes

    As a Canadian this debate baffles me. Democrat, Republican - what does that actually mean? Again looking from the "outside" I see the Republican position as "bible belt", "big brother" etc. In all honesty could someone please educate me?

    Interesting statistics in this…

    I'm glad Bonnie is continuing to follow these trends. This article in particular makes clear the distingtion between "cig-a-likes" and what I consider to be "proper vapes".

    It almost seems as if the tide is actually turning!

    Yes, this why I used such tentative language ("almost seems"). This is why Health Canada has basically done nothing yet - they're waiting to see what the FDA does first. It's also the reason I submitted a comment on the deeming regs.

    It almost seems as if the tide is actually turning!

    http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/08/16/jesse-kline-second-hand-vapour-is-no-threat/ I'm seeing more and more articles that are quoting reliable sources and providing logical commentary. I got a chuckle out of a highlighted extract, " There's about as much of a chance of someone throwing...

    Anther newspaper article that gets it right

    http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/08/15/public-health-officials-inadvertently-bolstering-tobacco-market-with-crackdown-on-e-cigarettes-analysts-say/ I also added my own comment reinforcing the point of the article.

    Medical officer in Toronto reccomends treating vaping like smoking

    Here's the post I made to the article. "Let's just stick with the facts for now. Per a study of the clinical data available at that time, although not necessarily some of the poorly constructed conclusions, performed by Dr. Burstyn's team (Drexel University) vaping was shown to be so much less...

    The Hill article on FDA comments

    It looks like the paper took notice. When I read the article the wording was different. it said, "But the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA), which believes e-cigarettes are a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes, says that “there is ample reason to...

    The Gazette - 25.07.2014 - E-cigarettes benefit by helping smokers quit

    Oh, Anja - it wasn't meant to be critical at all. I recognized that you may not have been around when Greg was "on the scene". I love how passionate you are! I'm also happy for Greg to be able to go to work each day fighting for what he believes in.

    The Gazette - 25.07.2014 - E-cigarettes benefit by helping smokers quit

    I should hope he "gets it". Greg was very active with CASAA before he went full time elsewhere (I think with the Heartland Institute).

    BBC video on how SAFE E-Cigarettes are!!!

    Yes please! I absolutely do not want to have someone read and then use the information I provided when it misses the mark, chemically at least, by a single Oxygen molecule!

    BBC video on how SAFE E-Cigarettes are!!!

    I went back to try and edit my post to remove the "2" (and associated descriptor) so as not to spread dis-information, but the edit button doesn't show up. Possibly because the post has been quoted. Please make sure not to replicate my error. Cheers, Tache

    BBC video on how SAFE E-Cigarettes are!!!

    There are videos of many of the presenters on the conference website, including Dr.s Polosa and Farsalinos - well worth watching. http://gfn.net.co/2014-vids Their powerpoint presentations are all available here: http://gfn.net.co/2014-presentations

    You are absolutely correct - my bad, mixing up CO and CO2.

    BBC video on how SAFE E-Cigarettes are!!!

    That instrument is meant to measure the amount (percentage) of carbon monoxide (CO) in your blood gasses. You take a deep "cleansing breath", exhale completely, take a second very deep breath and hold it for a number of seconds then blow into the device for as long and as hard as you can. CO is...

    Clive Bates on Tobacco Control - 9 July 2014 - "The Conversation"

    I concur with the previous comments. On a minor point, I have to say that it brought a little smile to my lips when I read, "The companies are focussed on the combined profit pool of tobacco and e-cigarettes, but they are strongly competitive with each other and will lose market share to other...

    E-cigarette primer for state and local lawmakers

    I'm not going to be popular for this, but I won't send this to any political body (city council, regional district etc.). Two reasons. One, I have an issue with the authors repetitive use of the word "carcinogens" when "toxins" is more appropriate - if not more correct. The second reason, and...
