    Joel L. Nitzkin and open letter to FDA

    I hope you're kidding but in case you aren't...People are referring to the probability there may be a tax...but the most likely tax that may be added is sales tax. If you don't want to pay sales tax, order from China. Most excise and federal taxes are punitive in nature to the tobacco...

    Genetic Predisposition to Nicotine / Marketing E Cigs to Kids / Young Adults

    It has always been...and will always be...that it is not what one is born with...it is in what one does with what their born with. In the era I was born into, women were perceived as good culturally via their reproductive system and ruled the roost not the board-room. This is in stark...

    Joel L. Nitzkin and open letter to FDA

    Well, it seems that tobacco products are protected from banning...are e-cigs? Nicotine is not comparable to supplements as it is considered a drug...unless it's in tobacco products. So how do we go about protecting the technology for everyone that could benefit from it? Do we want prescription...

    Joel L. Nitzkin and open letter to FDA

    This last week, Boffetta and Straif published a paper alleging evidence of an increased risk of fatal heart disease and stroke among smokeless tobacco users. This is a study sure to be referenced by those seeking evidence of the harmfulness of smokeless tobacco products. Unfortunately, this...

    Something Strange

    I got an email from freedom2choose.org and forces.org that said their servers were down. The smokersclub link requires a sign in from their home page. Evertime I get a newsletter I get the same message when I click on a link. Try this link and navigate to log in: The Smoker's Club, Inc.

    Positive E-Cigarette Article

    13th paragraph (I think) Line 4 and 5: My primary care doctor and cardiologist both contribute the change to me stopping smoking and vaping (instead.) I would use attribute rather than contribute. Love the article!

    Genetic Predisposition to Nicotine / Marketing E Cigs to Kids / Young Adults

    I respectfully submit that the link offered to demonstrate a psysiological/genetic predisposition to nicotine addiction is also related to developing lung cancer and is suspect at best. From your link: "More precisely, they found a genetic configuration typical for nicotine-dependent...

    California vote on e-cigs coming--Gov. vetos--defers to SE v. FDA case

    TBob, I fear truer words have never been spoken. We are in the midst of one of the biggest social revolutions that I have seen, almost as big as the "hippie" movement. The pendulum swings out...it swings back in again. What a shame that so many people can be hurt by these machinations and forced...

    almost three weeks smoke free and fatigue set it

    Hey Cinderoo, Nicotine withdrawl actually occurs with in days of stopping intake. If this is occurring 3 weeks after cessation it is probably unrelated to withdrawl. Have you noticed any other symptoms that may aid in narrowing down the probable source? Have you been exceptionally busy prior to...

    Non-smokers, Smokers and Vapers

    Thanks for the response K, Although I've smoked for many years in this matter I'm a newbie. I thought I had developed a heck of a habit over 35 years but the staining was a surprise to me. My gimmick to reduce the amount I smoked was to only smoke cigarettes halfway down, then discard. Maybe...

    Non-smokers, Smokers and Vapers

    What is all these references I've been seeing regarding yellow fingers? It's everywhere on this forum...are these RYO folks? I find that even hard to believe. I've smoked cigarettes for 35 years and have yet to get yellow fingers. What in the heck would cause yellowing of the fingers? A blue...

    It a conspiracy!

    The tobacco companies' have attempted to sell versions of the e-cig that heated the tobacco versus tobacco derivatives but there was no market and charity groups such as ACS wanted it removed from availability. The e-cig technology is not new, or original, a form of it has been on and off the...

    Didn't care about health benefits!!

    Hey Kristen...I picked up an e-cig not for any perceived health benefit because to date the evidence is scant. I'm a smoker, I've smoked 35 years, and have never tried to quit except to demonstrate to myself that I can. I simply enjoy smoking. When the e-cig technology became known to me as a...
