    Add me to the list of those getting screwed...

    DC, while I as many here disagree with ANY surcharge, It really can be worse (more expensive). I looked into life insurance and my rate was double, as they consider ANY nicotine use as a risk. I would look into enrolling into their cessation program and be like the other 93% who cant quit...

    An Exercise in Ambiguity

    We don't have to answer these questions! Big Pharma apparently is now answering them for us!

    The Wrong People Are Making Decisions For Us

    Oh stop being so pessimistic! The FDA was really nice at the listening sessions. I'm sure they listen really well! (Obvious Sarcasm!) How true you are. There is a big revolving door for these jobs back and forth. Though Zeller has made some somewhat promising comments in regard to e-cigs, I...

    Two Cheers For E-Cigarettes: NY Times columnist Joe Nocera slams NYC e-cig bill and its unscientific proponents

    At that recent New York City Council meeting, one of the fiercest critics to testify was Kevin O'Flaherty of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck and it sounds like a duck and it looks like a duck, it is a duck," he said. Is this what passes...

    CASAA's letter to NYC Officials

    I watched ALL four hours of testimony. A lot of big players there. Was very hard to listen to all the ANTZ and alphabet orgs. There was vaping going on during all of this (not sure this helped our cause). One woman complaining how much her eyes and nose burned because of it. Sadly, I believe a...

    EU Faralinos exposes letter from drug company lobbying firm to MEPs urging e-cig nicotine limit of 12 mg/ml

    I dont know that I blame the Pharm company for trying to protect their interests. We all know that this stuff goes on. What will be telling is if this gets drafted into legislation! Then of course a bigger problem is exposed.

    OMB publishes the FDA's deeming regulation information on the December agenda

    True indeed!! Bill G was interviewed by VP Live about a month ago. Great interview by the way!! If they do lump e-cigs into the existing framework of the tobacco control act, The industry is pretty much done!!! The quicker people see this the better off we will be. There is no need to "wait and...

    OMB publishes the FDA's deeming regulation information on the December agenda

    I know what you are saying, but why wait?? We are already getting crushed in the media. Public perception is that e-cigs are addicting kids and have antifreeze in them. There is no need to wait. We need to mobilize now IMHO! We need the public on our side. Waiting is only costing us to loose...

    OMB publishes the FDA's deeming regulation information on the December agenda

    Very well said! Thanks for that. I just wish EVERYONE would understand this. Certainly I may be wrong, but, from what I've read and seen online, it seems the EU vapers were MUCH more proactive than we are. Obviously I am not on that side of the pond, but I have seen a greater sense of urgency...

    OMB publishes the FDA's deeming regulation information on the December agenda

    There are a lot of folks here on ECF that are much better versed at this than myself. Hang around the forum for a while and you will find so many members will have very useful advice for us. I am just happy to find another concerned vaper ready to help the cause!

    Washington State city of Yakima Proposed to Include E-cigarettes in Smoking Ban

    Oh I agree, we need help from all angles. Problem is we are getting clobbered both in the media and with state/local regulators. Not to mention all of these skewed studies that put vaping in a bad light. There is an immediate need to refute and expose all of the lies and mis-information that is...

    Washington State city of Yakima Proposed to Include E-cigarettes in Smoking Ban

    I was referring to force feeding the politicians the CORRECT info in regard to e-cigs. Not the average citizen. Probably a bad choice of words on my part.

    FDA: Anti smoking drug Chantix linked to more than 500 suicides

    We really need to stop having kids:D. These little buggers are screwing up everything! The problem is age restrictions will not be enough. I would be shocked if the few e-cigs left on the market weren't Face to Face transactions ONLY!! Even though there are others ways to accomplish the save the...

    Washington State city of Yakima Proposed to Include E-cigarettes in Smoking Ban

    Good find! Is Yakima far from you? Once something like this passes, it is inviting for other towns to follow. If and when this comes to vote maybe you can put a team together to go and oppose it. This is how our voices get heard. These local and state bans are equally as damaging as Federal...

    OMB publishes the FDA's deeming regulation information on the December agenda

    We all have to make as much noise as possible. There is strength in numbers. Continuing to write letters, make phone calls, comment on B.S articles is all a big help. Know whats going on in your own area as well. A lot of B.S regulations are being enacted at state and local levels. I am sure you...

    The Gland is at it again...

    From Dr. Siegel.....As we go into the Thanksgiving holiday, I am seriously thinking about why there is a need to continue to do tobacco control research. If we are going to simply conclude what we want to conclude, regardless of the ability of the science to reach such a conclusion, then what's...
