    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    oh goodness gracious, long held beliefs... remember Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny? ;) I hope that too :) Until then: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. /edit: That is not intuition, dear ;) Let's leave it at that.

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    Let me get this straight: The lady is a smoker, i.e. she inhales tobacco smoke. Which contains nicotine plus a lot of harmful substances. People smoke for nicotine but they die from the tar. (Professor Michael Russell, 1976) Now, she considers consuming nicotine harmful - even if it is...

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    Yes, that would be nice if you guys and gals could help us with EFVI. But alas, you have to live in Europe for that :( And actually, the pro-vapers are very much united. :) I see a lot of people from all over the world regularly on Twitter and in various pro-vaping Facebook groups. US news...

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    @AndriaD: Big hug to you, dear. And it is always interesting how the press publishes so many things about depression when a famous person commits suicide. Then they call it understandable, very widespread, nothing to be ashamed of... etc etc. Yeah, when a famous person commits suicide...

    Your avatar. ......why?

    uhm... my avatar is a picture of myself. ;) Taken at a Renaissance Fair, in a medieval cloak, with a "shoulder dragon" on my shoulder. It goes well with my sub-title "Dragon Lady". And that goes well with my personality :D

    EU EU CHIEF: OUR WORK SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPARENT (9 Aug 2014)

    English is not my mother tongue, and I am not familiar with this use either. From the context, I would suppose that it may mean "unrestrained" - like in "not wearing a seat belt". - Can native speakers of British English please help out?

    Hahahahahahaha! :D Do not share the truth - share only government-approved propaganda :lol: Welcome to the Soviet Union, eh? ;) I would say that such a forum is a waste of time. Let them wallow in their misery and their lies. Not our problem :tongue:

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    I can see your point. And yes, nicotine has benefits. People smoke for the nicotine (but they die from the tar). Actually, in the days before the smoking bans in the office, we had a colleague (manager) who tried to quit smoking. He was unbearable. Intolerable. It was impossible to work with...

    EU EU CHIEF: OUR WORK SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPARENT (9 Aug 2014)

    Absolutely. And please remember / note that they went from European Economic Community (EEC) - with emphasis on trade - via European Community (EC) - with more political clout over the member states - to European Union (EU) - a Soviet Union -like artificial entity with a central rule-making...

    EU EU CHIEF: OUR WORK SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPARENT (9 Aug 2014)

    Precisely! As a citizen of the biggest net payer in the EU, it never ceases to amaze me how our government whines that it has no money to spend in its own country / for its own citizens. But it is more than willing to fork over billions of taxpayers Euros for any EU purposes whenever the EU...

    EU EU CHIEF: OUR WORK SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPARENT (9 Aug 2014)

    Oh goodness, if you take a look at the political process in the EU, it is enough to make you sick. You do realize that a handful of unelected bureaucrats make policy for all the people in all the 28 member states, right? And that, e.g., Germany or Scotland have no more say in deciding those...

    threADS

    I agree. Especially when recommending starter sets or liquids to new vapers, I do the same thing. Sure, for liquids, you can have 100 vapers = 100 taste preferences. But I usually recommend a vendor where the liquids taste like what it says on the bottle, and not like a chemical factory, if...

    To all e-liquid/e-cig stores worldwide: Don't accept any of my orders until further notice!

    say what? Hm... I spent 5 Euro a day on cigarettes (one big pack, discount store). That makes 3650 Euro in 2 years. There is no way in hell that I have spent that amount of money on vaping supplies. Even though I have a considerate supply of vaping hardware, liquids and DIY stuff. Never...

    EU EU CHIEF: OUR WORK SHOULD NOT BE TRANSPARENT (9 Aug 2014)

    Oh dear. I suppose your opinion on the EU is likely to change some time in the future. You have read the TPD and you know that this is what the lobbyists and their unelected puppets made of the 8 Oct 2013 decision of the (elected) European Parliament to keep e-cigs freely available as a...
