    Updated CASAA Call to Action: Urge New York City Council to reject proposed e-cig usage ban ASAP

    I'm sad and angry to say that I think you're right. It's incredibly difficult to reverse a piece of legislation. That would involve admitting that the original legislation was wrong - and that's too much for politicians' fragile little egos to take. The likelihood of legislation being...

    Dont believe the Hype-E Cigarettes wont ruin society, they changed my life-The Guardian

    Awesome piece! Kudos to the author. I've been having fun in the comments (under my CiF moniker toadalone). What's very encouraging is how much support the article is getting in the comments. There are a few polite sceptics wondering about whether e-cigs are certainly 100% safe; then a very...

    Polosa/Caponetta expose and refute lies about e-cigs by CDC and others in Lancet Oncology

    Carl Phillips goes into this question in depth here: Does ANYONE have a valid definition of “addiction”? | Anti-THR Lies and related topics. It's a great article and discussion, with lots of people (including me) trying to come up with a workable definition. Can't remember if it's in that...

    Washington Post On Ecigs

    Annoying reference to that CDC study that "proved" that minors are "taking up e-cigarettes". We all know it's a crock, thanks to Elaine's guest post on Carl Philips' blog: CDC director misleads Medscape | Anti-THR Lies and related topics But this is how it works. 1. "Respected" experts shout...

    Reason.com : No Smoke, Yet Ire

    Favourite comment from the thread: ....because the ANTZ are already adding these to e-cigs inside their own weird minds :D (which is the only place they'll accept evidence from).

    "Cigarettes May Have Fewer Carcinogens and Chemicals than Electronic Cigarettes "

    Mike Siegel has caught another one: http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/tobacco-control-practitioner-tells.html#disqus_thread Links to a Las Vegas Sun article. Any Nevadans out there can contact the paper? I sadly agree with Siegel when he says: Over here in the UK it may not be...

    EU Prohibitionist Martin McKee keeps lying about e-cigs (in regards to EU TPD)

    Thanks to Bill Godshall for posting this. But it's a bit depressing - is he at it AGAIN? I suppose it's not surprising. The BMJ has just announced it'll no longer accept studies funded by tobacco companies. Apparently the biases in these studies are "impossible to detect". Silly me...

    OMG, NO!! A New, Deadly Addiction!

    I'm actually out of work at the moment. Do you know of any openings for someone who can <s>advise governments on addiction</s> make up bull****? :lol:

    OMG, NO!! A New, Deadly Addiction!

    No, no, no, you're misinterpreting this completely. You're starting from the assumption that rats (or children, or smokers, or people in general) have any intelligence. This has now been proved to be completely wrong. It's like the Ptolemaic system in astronomy - intelligent people believed...

    OMG, NO!! A New, Deadly Addiction!

    I'm quite amazed by this article. Either they haven't reported the full details of the experiment, or even the scientists concerned are talking utter..... rat droppings. I blame the parents. What do they they think they're doing, letting their kids hang out unsupervised in mazes where random...

    Does a dual-coil tank wear out the battery?

    Hi Baditude, and thanks a lot for the tips! I have looked at the MVP - I'm put off by it because of its shape (don't really like the boxy shape). But I guess to get the best out of a dual-coil setup like the IClear, I will need more battery power. Having a think about it... :vapor: I'm...

    Does a dual-coil tank wear out the battery?

    Hi I'm using the Innokin IClear30 tank - have two of them, so that I can take one apart for cleaning while using the other. I'm finding it harder and harder to consistently get a good hit out of these tanks. I've tried using both the 2 ohm and 1.5 ohm atomisers, but the problem seems to...

    In-Class E-Cig Policy At Frostburg State University Left To Professors

    Unbelievable! I'm calling the emergency services: Outbreak of Rationality in Maryland! Quick, seal off the area before it spreads! OhMyGod, there are people trapped inside the cordon! 8-o Devolving authority down to someone actually present is so rare that I love it when I see it. The...

    The Redhead: Why We Fight

    Good explanation - I was hoping there was a precedent elsewhere for this line of thinking, but didn't know about this US case. Interestingly, I think the recent EU TPD amendment is on the same lines as the Sottera ruling. The paragraph in Amendment 170 that might "catch out" e-cigs and make...

    When will all this stop.....

    Read this and go :facepalm: Beautiful example of Argumentum Ad Gatewayum Fatuosus from Assemblywoman Rosenthal. It's not often you see such a fine, healthy specimen in the wild. Classic markings on the pelt, with not only the breed-typical "children" effect, but also the unusual and...

    EU 8th Ocotober 2013 : EU rejected ecigs as medecine !

    True, and the MHRA hasn't yet said anything about backing down. But I did find this nice nugget in another amendment (165) that passed in the EU debate: So if the MHRA does persist with the idea of pharmaceutical licensing, this EU amendment might restrict them as to how far they can go...

    UK Independent: "E-cigarettes simply reinforce a terrible habit"

    Thanks for the tip - it turned out that AdBlock was blocking both the "Agree" etc controls, and the comments. I agree with you completely about the sub-literate, smug, know-it-all style.
