    17 Sep 2014: E-Cigarettes and Maintenance Therapy: A Smart Public Health Approach

    :) Oh yes - I love the pro-vaping articles / blogposts that are written by non smokers and non vapers. The people who do not smoke or vape but who totally get it. Have you see this one? By the wife of a smoker who switched to vaping? It is excellent. Reconsidering Electronic Cigarettes: A...

    17 Sep 2014: E-Cigarettes and Maintenance Therapy: A Smart Public Health Approach

    @Painter: well that makes sense. If you still get demonized and if you still have to stand out in the cold, then why bother switching to vaping? You might as well smoke. Which is - usually - precisely the intention of anti-vaping legislation. Keep the tobacco gravy train rolling by removing...

    [09/17/2014] ASH: New survey finds regular use of electronic cigarettes by children still rare

    excellent find :thumb: Thank you for posting it! And interesting story, @Nate760 And now, just imagine that e-cigs without nicotine (or e-shishas) had been invented by the food industry: Flavor without calories! No sugar, no calories, no tooth decay, only flavor in your mouth! Heck...

    16 Sep 14: Memo to public health grandees: vaping, vapers and you (by Clive Bates)

    @Sirius: FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt - it is a propaganda tactic. See here Fear, uncertainty and doubt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And I cannot make heads or tails of the rest of your posting. Except that young people can be quite naive. Yeah, most of us start out...

    16 Sep 14: Memo to public health grandees: vaping, vapers and you (by Clive Bates)

    That is horrible. And I am very sorry to hear that. This is precisely what the enemies of vaping are trying to achieve with their FUD propaganda campaigns. Make no mistake about that. Their funding depends on a high number of SMOKERS. And your daughter and her unborn child are of no concern to...

    Health chief steps down after crude 'e-cig' rant on Twitter

    Yeah, that claim is so outrageous. Can you not see the many millions of blind smokers (and ex-smokers) in the streets, trying to find their way with those white sticks? With a smoking prevalence of approx 20% of the population, those blind smokers must be all over the place. (duh...) And...

    Yup. It is called "cognitive dissonance". And it is not OUR problem that those people suffer from cognitive dissonance. exactly. And the current health fascists do not care about human lives either. ......... @BruceNye: Great blogpost and very pleased to meet you! :) I think your...

    Memo to public health grandees: vaping, vapers and you (by Clive Bates) - recommended reading! Especially for those who wonder why e-cigarette users can be quite militant - all we want is to live our lives. Is that too much to ask? (Background story: some so-called "public health"...

    Drugs Sold as Ejuice Hospitalize Teens

    Exactly. In the 1970s, some people whom I knew would use an empty Coca Cola can to fashion a "vehicle" for smoking.... (a certain substance). I have never heard of attempts to outlaw Coca Cola cans. I have also heard of young people sniffing glue. As far as I know, glue is still available in...

    Demonization tactics have opposite effect for obesity

    good find! :thumb: Well, yes. That goes without saying. Hm... as does the simple fact that stress responses also lead to increased smoking. Nice vicious circle, eh? Somehow, the expression "downtrodden masses" comes to mind...

    New claims vaping leads to hard drugs

    @AegisPrime: After suffering a death in my immediate family in late 2010 which threw me completely off balance for a year (my younger sister died in my arms at 43), this could be my story as well: Lucky for us, we did not start drinking or doing other nasty things. And yes, vaping was a...
