    CNN hit piece on teen vaping epidemic

    Wait... I thought it was the cartoon characters, and the names like bubblegum blast that were the problem. Apparently it's the bitonal rectangles and flavors like Cool Cucumber that are snagging little Johnny.

    FDA FDA Bans Pure and Highly Concentrated Caffeine

    Thanks Rossum :) I couldn't remember how much they hold, I never actually tried one. I do remember people saying they hit you like a freight train though. I'm good with my 3-6 mg/ml now.

    CNN hit piece on teen vaping epidemic

    Oh it's a brilliant tactic, they don't even have to prove anything they say, it's all about the spectre of harm. Mention the children and people stop thinking, mention the children and tobacco and the people are ready to grab their pitchforks.

    UCSF professor faces second sexual harassment lawsuit - Prof Glanz again.

    What we really need is for one of them to come forward, whistleblower fashion, and detail how they're instructed to skew data and analysis. While this may end up to be personally devastating for glantz, and I hope it is, it unfortunately won't invalidate his work in the eyes of the powers that be.

    CNN hit piece on teen vaping epidemic

    We know that, and they know that, the only ones who don't know that are the general public(and some vapers who despite what they say really only see vaping as a small step up from smoking, even though they may not realize it themselves). Of course instead of trying to expose the truth, we spend...

    CNN hit piece on teen vaping epidemic

    Haven’t read the whole thread. My question always has been, why are we so adamant that teens shouldn’t vape? If vaping is 95-99% less harmful than smoking(making it relatively harmless), and nicotine sans tobacco isn’t addictive, and even if it were habit forming it is replacing smoking, and...

    FDA FDA Bans Pure and Highly Concentrated Caffeine

    Thanks Zoid, I took a break, the fda/cdc/public health/tobacco control are bad for my blood pressure. As for the whole issue of the executive branch passing “laws,” well, Congress can’t even be bothered to read the actual laws that they do pass, of course they’ll leave the minutiae of...

    FDA FDA Bans Pure and Highly Concentrated Caffeine

    Do you think it would be beyond them to restrict based on a combination of concentration and quantity? Since a JUUL only holds a few milliliters max. Also, 100mg nic IS packaged for final sale to consumers.

    Philip Morris’s “Worst Day” In A Decade

    If they have the reams and reams of studies and data to support the claim for their specific product, sure. Remember, the FDA is all for modified risk tobacco products, as long as they meet the as yet undefined standards...

    I saw a post on Facebook asking why, if Zuckerberg gets to testify to Congress and have a hand in shaping regulations, why can’t the vapor industry have a seat at the table and help shape regulations. They don’t see a vapor industry, they see the tobacco industry, and they already got to write...

    Howdy folks! I’ve received my spanking. I'm alive and relatively well, sorry to worry those of you who were worried. Glad to see you keeping the petition going, keep the idea alive that we don't have to roll over and take the FDA’s tobacco BS.

    Where's the :pervy: button? Yeah, that's a grill, not a BBQ, subtle but important difference. You can "BBQ" on a grill, but it's not quite the same, though I've heard getting a woodchip basket can help. BBQ - low indirect heat Grill - High direct heat I will say that being able to go from...

    If you haven't seen the Princess Bride, you absolutely should. It's like a cross between the Neverending Story and Robinhood Men in Tights, and completely awesome.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I try not to be so pro-vape, that I become anti-smoker... If someone wants to smoke the equivalent of a pack in one sitting, that's their choice, as it should be. Also, it's about the same as smoking a cigar, you're not inhaling the whole thing, it's sitting there burning the whole time, and...

    It's been over 7 years since the cigarette portion of the FSPTCA was made into law, and the cigarette industry is still working under DRAFT guidance. So...

    iirc they were the liquid supplier for Blu, and then they weren't, and then I seem to remember(but not specifically) that they backed some legislation or some regulation concepts that would have been okay for them but horrible for smaller vape companies. They also had their branded ego that...

    Just saw that Johnson Creek is shutting down. I was never a fan but that's a big one to bite the dust.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Don't feel bad. "Remember who the real enemy is." This guy's a kook but, eh, small beans. The real problem is that an industry that affects millions of lives and has the potential to save millions, if not billions more, has to resort to armchair interpretations because the regulating authority...

    What new products?! No one's coming out with new products! Now you all just hush now. At least that's been my policy.
