    Health effects

    Maybe take a look at this: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-vaping/3305-list-symptoms-when-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html There is no short answer to your question, and there is no straightforward, honest answer, unless it is phrased as a scientist would...

    How to Get Around Future E Cig Taxes

    Yes, the Australian pituri plant, Duboisia Hopwoodii, is the best alternative. Other Duboisias may also have promise. Choice of cultivar is important, some have the same amount of nicotine as a tobacco plant, some have unwanted alkaloids like scopolamine. However it is almost certain that the...

    The future of E figs ?

    I meant state and fed governments? The tobacco industry won a huge victory when they got the MSA deal - they are cast-iron guaranteed a future at low cost. Is that what you meant? As Bill Godshall says, the MSA is a bad deal for the public. Cigarette firms' profits are guaranteed. Also...

    Warning - Freak vulnerability on ecommerce

    As far as we know, this can only happen if you are running an A/V with its own proxy, such as Avast with the Web Shield turned on. Otherwise all the data so far including the security people's advice on browsers / OS / devices is wrong. If you have no antivirus then this looks like a first. If...

    The future of E figs ?

    See my post #25. Doesn't matter what they say, doesn't matter what they do. Conveniently, any country which had high smoking prevalence can't get substantially below 20% smoking prevalence. There is no country anywhere that is an exception once 20PR operates. All they have to do is block ecigs...

    The future of E figs ?

    Doesn't matter what anyone does after the 20% Prevalence Rule operates - smoking prevalence can't be significantly reduced except by THR. That's why they're all going nuts trying to block ecigs. In Sweden, 66% of tobacco users are snusers and 33% are smokers (Snus is their specially-processed...

    How to Get Around Future E Cig Taxes

    OK, that freezer/genny stuff was all over the top maybe - but: a) Plan for the worst and hope for the best :) b) Never believe any politician, their job is to make their job easier, not your life. And if you have some land and want to grow your own, then consider the pituri plant (Duboisia...

    How to Get Around Future E Cig Taxes

    In the end people in some places in the world will need some form of protection against supply problems. Who knows exactly where this applies, we won't have any hard facts for a couple of years. Here is a way to protect yourself from supply issues. I've lived off-grid a lot so these solutions...

    The future of E figs ?

    The States need to protect smoking as they win 2 ways: the tobacco tax revenue and the MSA payments. Apparently NY and California are the biggest winners in the MSA stakes, and if that is the case then you can expect the fiercest opposition to ecigs to come from those two states. As it does...

    The future of E figs ?

    In the EU / UK ecigs will be gradually strangled in order to kill them off, the legislation is already in place to do that (TPD Article 20). This comes in May 2016 at the latest. After that they'll take about a year to get the enforcement running properly. The idea is to make it too expensive...

    Sure, go ahead. I'm not sure how critical this alert is but fixing it can't hurt.

    Buying online? Check your browser security for the 'Freak exploit'

    Safari is supported on Apple but unsupported on Windows any more. That means it should probably be uninstalled from Windows as it's not secure.

    My Freedom Smokes & Unauthorized Transactions

    Also it is useful if you know what antivirus you are using and how it scores for security. You can check this out in several places but the easiest I know is this one, it's set up to be simple, and you can go through them to run HijackThis tests or whatever if you are into that (complex searches...

    New to ECF the largest Vaping forum on Earth, and no doubt the one the tabloids will all write about.

    As Susan S explained so well above, 'family friendly' has its own specific meaning on the web. If you understand the term NSFW without looking it up then you'd probably be aware of the issues. If not, then - like a journalist getting into something new - then it has to be looked up. It's...

    Warning - Freak vulnerability on ecommerce

    @Nermal Looks like your browser / OS combo is vulnerable - if it connects OK then it can be exploited. Take a look at the browser / OS details page and see if there is a patch. Unless you have IE it will be patched fast, maybe it already has a fix. What do you have there? Just means buying...

    Buying online? Check your browser security for the 'Freak exploit'

    See this post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/computer-security/657493-warning-freak-vulnerability-ecommerce.html It only affects online purchases - https traffic is not secure if your browser fails the test.

    A security warning for ecommerce purchases has been published Friday March 7th. Some browsers have an HTTPS encryption vulnerability that can lead to your data being stolen by the web traffic being intercepted and the code easily cracked. Check to see if your browser passes the exploit test...

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of nicotine?

    This thread has been closed as there is sufficient information available now. Nicotine is not really best viewed as a 'throat hit' ingredient - or as a performance enhancer, except for those with specific issues.
