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

    http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/ecigarettes-simply-reinforce-a-terrible-habit-8867160.html#tabs-1-3 A terribly misinformed piece by someone still glowing with the virtue of having given up smoking by NRT. She obviously hasn't put in the slightest effort to research the piece: Er...

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

    :toast: :vapor: :banana: Press release is here: Tobacco: larger warnings, flavours banned, e-cigarettes regulated There are links to the adopted text and a video of the debate, but I haven't followed them yet to see if they're up yet. 71 rejected and 170 adopted is good news! It means that...

    EU UK/Europe vape ban: let’s be honest here….. we’re really screwed aren't we?

    I'm annoyed about this, and hoping it goes our way... Here's the email I sent to all my MEPs yesterday: Dear [MEP] As the plenary debate on the TPD amendment approaches, I am writing to you again to express my concern about the effects of this amendment on the free availability of...

    EU UK/Europe vape ban: let’s be honest here….. we’re really screwed aren't we?

    I know what you mean Alvins3ville! Listening to too many bad arguments, too much propaganda, too much off-the-cuff speaking not backed by research - these things disconnect you from the Force.... ["young padawan" optional...:D] I let of steam a bit today with some debate below this piece in...

    EU Warning : EU is about to vote about Ecig le 8th of October 2013. Vapers RDV the 7 oct 2013

    Excellent petition - please sign! (Signed). Clive Bates' article (link in tommy2bad's post above) is also a must-read on the current situation in the European Parliament. To give this petition more "buzz" (French slang for, I don't know... public impact, public recognition), I've translated...

    E-Cigarettes: Rush To Regulate Could Destroy Effective Alternative

    It's because everything is always a CRISIS and CHILDREN WILL DIE if the government doesn't DO SOMETHING NOW. Stopping, thinking, researching, reviewing the evidence, coming up with a plan is not an option when CHILDREN WILL DIE. But then, if they couldn't issue urgent calls for immediate...

    NIH gives grant to UC Riverside grad student to confuse and scare public about e-cigarettes

    This: (Behar) is perfectly good scientific practice. This, on the other hand: is scaremongering, reprehensible bull****, riding on the science in the same way that a flea rides on a dog. Memo to Prue Talbot: when women get pregnant, the embryo doesn't develop in the lungs, but in a...

    Another study

    That's the thing I noticed about this study. They extracted the substances into a medium, and then cultured the human cells and observed the effects. There is no mention of any real-world mechanism whereby human cells would actually become exposed to the levels that were part of the...

    Long Island Rail Road bans ecigs

    Exactly this. If I lived in the LIRR area, I wouldn't be that fussed about not being able to vape on LIRR trains, if this was an isolated ban. The trouble is that independent thinking on this kind of subject, in corporations and government agencies, is rarer than rocking-horse s**t, and as...

    Power cutoff on Innokin batteries

    Hi I'm seeing something odd happen with the Innokin batteries I use. The newer ones are the Leo Pro batteries; but I also use the old Lea batteries I have left over. I'm using them with the Lea 800 atty at the moment, while waiting for new atty heads for my IClear30. I see this problem with...

    iClear30 - lost flavour and vapour

    Thanks again! I stopped using the vodka method a while back - ran out of the cheap vodka - but I'll try doing that again. Absolutely. But not for long, if our all-wise governments get their way about "regulating" them... :blink: [heads over to the Legislation forum]

    iClear30 - lost flavour and vapour

    Thanks for your helpful replies! I didn't know if these are rebuildable. And I'm not sure I have the patience! It would involve pulling various bits out of a very narrow tube (the atty housing). So removing or replacing the coil/wicks is not something I can do: my rebuild-fu is not that...

    EU MEPs – 10 things to think about before you vote

    Clive Bates talking perfect sense as usual! Reading this made me wonder if I shouldn't write again. But I think I've made my points to my MEPs already, and had some interesting conversations. Great news! Is that one of my MEPs, Struan Stevenson (Scotland) is in agreement with the...

    iClear30 - lost flavour and vapour

    Hi I got my first clearo - the Innokin iClear30 - about 3 weeks ago. Blown away by the clouds of vapour and the intense flavour. It sucked the electricity out of my batteries at a huge rate, but it's worth it. (I'm only using a 3.7v Innokin Leo Pro battery - can't afford a VV thing yet)...

    Who’s Killing the Electronic Cigarette?

    Great! A positive article trying to tell it like it is. It even mentions the misguided efforts being made to restrict e-cigarettes.

    Totally Wicked´s Managing Director agrees to step down after inappropriate e-mails

    Can't say I can blame him if he went too far. I find it hard when communicating about these issues to just present the facts - the propaganda stitch-up against e-cigs makes me so angry.

    aint good for us

    Someone comment and tell them this is utter bullcr*p? You can't smoke hash oil in an e-cigarette. This is just propaganda. (I just can't be bothered creating yet another online account to log in and comment...)

    Phillips and Rodu, "Tobacco harm reduction: opportunity and opposition"

    Thanks for posting this. I've become a bit addicted to correction: cultivated a beneficial habit of :tongue: reading Carl Phillips and Mike Siegel's blog posts. It's a fantastic article. (my emphasis). This is the absolute heart of the argument. If we could get the MEPs and MHRA...
