    Interesting, perhaps the same thing going on with our vapes?

    CDC asked to retract statments on teen gateway effect.

    I like seeing the CDC's "study" publicly contested :thumbs: thank you OP for posting this! I am especially pleased by the fact that the article actually states one of the reasons the study is flawed, rather than just saying a vaping group opposes it for no apparent reason (as I would expect...

    Interesting, perhaps the same thing going on with our vapes?

    Here is a link to the CNN article: Autism and vaccine study results questioned - CNN.com Basically someone "proved" the link between vaccines and autism by reanalyzing CDC data. There are two possible glaring flaws here: 1) As stated in the article, "If you analyze data enough times and...

    FDA Oregon Health Authority Comment to FDA deeming

    We have nearly 20,000 active members, but we have none from Oregon? At all?? :confused: I find that a tad hard to believe...

    FDA "Health" Departments all over the country submit identical comments to FDA

    And of course they won't be bothered to compile a list of organizations who are opposed... or individual people, for that matter. Wait, did I say "people"? I meant "anecdotes." :evil:

    A well reasoned positive article from an Irish GP

    An excellent article indeed! :thumb:

    FDA FDA bans 7 Star Ariva and Stonewall dissolvable tobacco lozenges (that are very similar to NRT lozenges)

    I was too, but I had speculated that they might not be available in the U.S. :closedeyes: Nic water would have been nice, but they banned that too. Imagine a world in which they banned cigarettes, only cigarettes, but allowed every other nicotine product to be freely legal. That would...

    FDA CDC again grossly misrepresents NYTS e-cig youth usage data to deceive, scare and lobby for FDA deeming reg

    Thank you so much for your efforts Bill. This, I think, is the biggest problem with media nowadays - they care a lot more about their business than they do about reporting actual news. Forum members were talking about this awhile back. We thought maybe it would be a really interesting special...

    Is it time to boycott CVS? The 'no tobacco' policy may be worse than you thought

    That's exactly it - the quit-smoking message "brought to you by the CDC" combined with the request for donations from the ALA, is a double whammy. It sounds like it's only a matter of time before they start bashing e-cigarettes in some way shape or form, whether it be in another in-store PSA...

    The Dangers of E-Cigarettes: Toxic Metals Exposed

    I agree with twgbone, the graph is BS. One of the easiest ways to mislead people about the information found in a study is to make a graph. Simply changing the scale of the graph can make the numbers look dramatically different, as you can tell by this example. Also, the fact that they...

    FDA "Health" Departments all over the country submit identical comments to FDA

    I just ran a cursory search of comments from health departments in my state. I have yet to find any identical to the one in this thread, but they are equally bad... it looks like I have some work to do :( What I find the most interesting is that all of these anti comments completely ignore the...

    The Dangers of E-Cigarettes: Toxic Metals Exposed

    The data shows that nickel and zinc are both present in higher amounts in the e-cig vapor than outdoor air. Upon further inspection, I find that the differences are within their respective margins of error, and can therefore be considered negligible. Nevermind :) it very well could just...

    No solid evidence that e-cigarettes aid smoking cessation unlike the nicotine patches, gums and medications approved now

    That's what I meant :laugh: that he could conduct his own poll if he would like. I would refrain from conducting a poll like that because I know it's been done before. Thank you for the survey link too, that'll be interesting to read :)

    The Dangers of E-Cigarettes: Toxic Metals Exposed

    We cannot assume that the few metals found are actually coming from the air. We need to take into account the possibility that they are actually coming from the metals inside the e-cig until more studies are done to confirm or refute that. Again, it is a very minor finding. All things...

    The Dangers of E-Cigarettes: Toxic Metals Exposed

    The abstract posted by the OP does show slightly higher levels for a few metals in vapor than outside air. The researchers concluded that these are probably from the metals in the device itself, and I agree that is likely. However it's not enough to warrant any kind of urgent concern. It must...

    The Dangers of E-Cigarettes: Toxic Metals Exposed

    From the abstract: Organic species had lower emission rates during e-cigarette consumption compared to normal cigarettes. Of particular note was the non-detectable emission of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from e-cigarettes, while substantial emission of these species was observed...
