    What are the advantages and disadvantages of nicotine?

    If you suffer from certain forms of cognitive dysfunction, or you think that your family has a genetic predisposition to degenerative or auto-immune conditions (if more than one parent or grandparent suffered from Alzheimers, Parkinsons, dementia or ulcerative colitis, for example) - and...

    how does everyone feel about e-cigarettes?

    Hi Alicia, Thanks for following this up. I finished the citations and then converted that post into a PDF as others requested it in a portable format. I'll try to link it below. [PDF now updated with live links - see next post] In reply to J.A.: Yes, there was a lot of negative...

    Why Safety First needs to be pushed

    This is completely wrong. We know all about the previous bangs and the press caught on to it in the end. They lap this stuff up now - they'd be all over it. The last one made the national press and even got mentioned on the floor of the State senate in a debate. It is not impossible for this to...

    Why Safety First needs to be pushed

    Probably not in the US if it is a mechmod bang, the serious ones we know of had police, ambulance, fire and hospital reports, and the press snapping at their heels. This one seems to have a news blackout on it so maybe it happened to someone in a federal witness protection program or something...

    Why Safety First needs to be pushed

    Yeah, those kids in the cloud chasing vids have to wear welding gloves, I heard. You probably can't even get any views on your vaping channel now unless you hold a red hot mechmod with welding gloves and get a large hole in your head from a fullbore driptip at 2,000fps.

    Why Safety First needs to be pushed

    Looks like an autopsy photo. Close range GSW, 9mm maybe, from 12 inches to the right, slightly forward and slightly below the entry point. The bullet would have travelled back and up, just catching the lower front right of the brain. Betadine cleaning or post mortem yellowing? So it looks like...

    Anyone tried/like the Dekang range?

    Dekang have superb quality control but their ethics are 'flexible', by our understanding of such issues. Their clean-room production facilities are top-of-class, and they have the funds and facilities to ensure high quality feedstock and product. But as anyone who has had extensive dealings...

    Is sub ohm now considered safe??

    The sub-ohm issues are these: 1. If you run super high amps then if there is any kind of a problem, your battery needs to be high quality. Virtually all today's batteries are high quality, so that's not a problem - any genuine IMR or hybrid battery should be safe even if you cook it. In the...

    what happens if you dont change your coil?

    People experience huge differences in their equipment performance because that is vaping - there is no 'normal'. For some people, a coil lasts 3 days and it's done - clean it, rebuild or chuck it. Others get months out of a coil. It all depends on so many variables that no single answer is...

    Non-smoker thinking of vaping

    If you all wish to continue this conversation in its present form, you might consider moving to the Outside and continuing there instead, otherwise a Moderator may come along and close this thread to avoid bloodshed. It is probably finished anyway. The Outside is a private area where you can...

    how does everyone feel about e-cigarettes?

    I've put a link to it in the Library as it's probably a good resource for informing politicians in general: 'Advice on ecigs for a politician'. The specific issues will be different in every locale but the general stuff about each of the propaganda topics is applicable everywhere. Thanks.

    how does everyone feel about e-cigarettes?

    @WildChameleon Labour and Greens will do everything in their power to ban ecigs, their attitude is represented by Linda McAvan. They will have a 3-line whip on any ecig-related vote, with instructions to vote to (a) medicalise them, and therefore require a pharmaceutical license, and therefore...

    Advice on ecigs for a politician

    A researcher working for an MEP* posted, asking for comments on a newspaper piece the rep had authored. The thread contains various replies including a comprehensive one (see below) that contains materials that politicians might generally find of use. There is a UK slant to it as that's where...

    A vaping consequence

    If you can afford it and think it worth the effort, get your doc to check out your thyroid values. In rare cases we have heard of things showing up at this time that had apparently been suppressed by smoking. Nothing to worry about really, but it's something to check out now while it's...

    Non-smoker thinking of vaping

    Kind of like the opposite to Chantix, then. :)

    how does everyone feel about e-cigarettes?

    The EU political situation is probably a bit weird to outsiders. It's weird enough to those who live there... Here's a short description :) It all started out as the Common Market. That was free trade area where European countries had no taxes on goods imported from neighbouring countries...

    how does everyone feel about e-cigarettes?

    As I understand it, she's quoting an article written by her boss, an MEP (a rep who sits in the EU parliament at Brussels) from NE England. The first para is her intro, then it goes straight into the article. Hmm, maybe I can edit it so that's a bit clearer... [OK done]

    how does everyone feel about e-cigarettes?

    Thanks Chrissie. It's not hard to write this stuff as it basically writes itself :-) Finding the refs where I originally got the facts from is agony though...

    how does everyone feel about e-cigarettes?

    Hi Alicia, Thank you for your interest. You asked for opinions on the text quoted, so please allow me to reply with a UK-oriented critique as that's where the MEP concerned is. The UK vaping community will be very pleased to see this approach and will assist wherever possible. There are are...
