    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Thad...really. Have you thought past the humerous PSA. What will be the backlash? We've already had groups monitor this very site to glean info that was cited in the court case with the FDA. Do you really think there will be no counter to your efforts indicating that you correctly quote the SHS...

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Sorry Thad, for getting your moniker wrong. I won't use Thaddeus though it is a great name. It appears citing "medically valid" information from a perceived "authority" is paramount in your project. You cite the SG report...probably the 2006 version The Health Consequences of Involuntary...

Madness acheived its status by portraying weed turning well adjusted teenagers turning into sex-crazed lunatics with zero evidence. I think that's a far cry different from a...

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Let's take this down to the street level... Any message that fosters the perspective that smokers are: Killing their fellow man, Stinky, or stinkify others, Litterbugs, Poor, Uneducated, Nicotine addicted, Should be socially ostracized from every entertainment venue known to man...

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Quote: "Ladyraj, your case is not at all lost. To any smoker who does not believe that SHS presents a significant risk to non-users, my answer is: If you truly do not believe you are putting your family in danger by smoking, then you should stop smoking for the sake of your own health rather...

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Why of course! :) From your post "If you are legitimately concerned about offending people by addressing SHS mortality, I'd certainly be open to other suggestions." My response was rather tongue in cheek because I had expressed concern that I thought was legitimate....but evidently left a...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Hi mac, respectfully I disagree with the percentage of population for smokers/vaporers. About 48 million smokers, 12 million pipe and cigar smokers, and a guesstimated 1 million vaporers. That's approximately 61 million. The USA has about 306 million people and only 75% are adults...or about...

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Oops! "legitimately concerned"??? Is that versus illegitimate concern or an oral exercise in pursing my lips and blowing smoke up one's tailpipe? Do I need to be vetted before I express any concern as to IF it has merit? Or wouldn't I have to express the idea before one could decide if it is...

    Ha ha! Yes I know how you feel with the anger and frustration at how legislators are going about mandating this or that all willy-nilly without reading the pros and cons in the bills they pass! HaHa! One has to laugh at these brazen tactics...otherwise we'd explode! I gave you the link to my...

    So - are we getting it or are we not - nicotine

    Hi all, I was a heavy smoker for many, many years and thought eliquid had finally provided a replacement for a behavior I enjoyed so much. Well it worked for about 2 weeks...no ciggies at all, great energy, sense of pride I was back in control, etc. And then...crash and burn, something is...

    I'm hoping my spikes in BP even out by controlling my nic levels and my body adjusts to the process. :) My Doc is behind the PV too!

    Thinking about getting a gun

    I learned to use weapons in the USAF and found that I was quite good at hitting targets. It's alot of fun and a stress reliever to go to the target range and blow away your troubles. So, I'd say go for it! Try it you may like it:) The advice about trying out various weapons is...

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Thuliam, I have no idea why you mention the "adopting the stance of BT". BT actually does not dispute the SHS evidence and they cite the same references and links you offer. This fight is not about BP, BT, or any other alphabet group...it's about the choice to reduce harm via alternatives from...

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Please note that I am not asking anyone to fight the SHS studies but one doesn't have to jump on the bandwagon when the harm reduction aspect for primary smoking is the stated goal of advocacy. Sorry, If I spoke too frankly, but there it is...a dissenting opinion.:)

    PSA/Ad: "Think Outside The Pack"

    Thulium, I read Dr Siegel's blog everyday. Further, I have read the Surgeon General's report (2006) on ETS, The EPA's 1993 info, and almost everything out there regarding ETS. I've researched the topic for years and found most numbers originate from very few sources and then are picked up and...

    blood pressure changes???

    I'm 53 and always had low blood pressure even as a 1-2 pack a day smoker for 36 years (103/70) would spike higher depending on stressors (120/70) migraine/pain (138/70). General medical info: Normal BP is 120/80, prehypertension is 139/89, 140/90 HBP 1) The top number is systolic BP: people...

    Nhaler, extremely bad service

    Great news the 5 volt option with two 3 volt batteries has been proved: Page 18 at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/video-reviews/54575-when-5-volts-not-really-5-volts-18.html Edit: Drew has stated he will produce a better test of the Xhaler and will post it once completed. :)...

    Nhaler, extremely bad service

    In the last few weeks on the Janty forum there was a call for tester/guinea pigs/reviewers for a new product. Loads of people volunteered or nominated someone. There are numerous people who contact suppliers to "test" their new products and offer reviews for our viewing pleasure. There was an...

    Zofryer, I tried and failed to make that point. ;) Regarding the CDC factsheet: "Exposure to nicotine and secondhand smoke is measured by testing the saliva, urine, or blood for the presence of a chemical called cotinine. Cotinine is a byproduct of nicotine metabolization, and tobacco is...

    I think the CDC (and other groups) carries those stats. Here is a current CDC fact sheet that may be useful: Smoking and Tobacco Use :: Fact Sheet :: Secondhand Smoke :: Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) :: CDC I figured out #2 along time ago but it's not me the ad is geared towards and...
