    Vapers with lung problems, I need your advice

    It turns out my mom was already one step ahead of me and ordered two of the same flavor, one all VG and the other the highest PG they had, to see the difference :) idk what flavor or from what vendor though. She said she could have him try those. I think he'll do fine at 24 mg, but I want him...

    Vapers with lung problems, I need your advice

    I was wondering if anyone here can help me come up with some good ideas for a new setup for my brother. He has been smoking 1-2 packs a day for about 20 years, and also used to work a job where he may have been exposed to asbestos. He had a spontaneous lung collapse about 2 years ago and he...

    FDA Extremely well done (and not yet available) FDA comment

    I can't argue with you on this one :) it takes many years for longitudinal studies to be conducted, that combined with all the different kinds of flavorings it is difficult to say what the potential health consequences could be. In the future there could be ways to narrow it down though. We...

    FDA Extremely well done (and not yet available) FDA comment

    Almost 50% of the population is afflicted with a mental disorder at some point in their lives. Nicotine has been shown to treat most mental disorders, or at least be a useful adjunct to treatment. So, nicotine would be quite useful for a large portion of the population, whether it be for...

    This is Great Media

    I love this! They call out public health officials' confusion of vaping with smoking, they emphasize that it has been proven to help people quit, they spoke against the flavors attracting kids nonsense, and they referred to Dr. Siegel's study! :thumbs: I also love that they use the term...

    This is another instance where they deny the truth and twist the studies. We know that vapor isn't harmful to bystanders, but because studies found that the vapor contains something, they claim that something is harmful and the unsuspecting innocent populace should not be subject to that...

    FDA Extremely well done (and not yet available) FDA comment

    Diseases that nicotine can treat, just off the top of my head: Alzheimer's and other dementias, Parkinson's and other dyskinesias, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, attention and dissociative disorders, Crohn's disease. There are more, certainly, but these...

    FDA Extremely well done (and not yet available) FDA comment

    For the record, nicotine has been shown to have a few harmful effects - it does increase heart rate and blood pressure in the short term, when can lead to a minor increase in health problems in the long run if used regularly. Also, a recent study came out showing that nicotine may impair the...

    I have seen this before, and I loved it! Definitely a must-see :D

    Kent, you know I always appreciate your point of view :) the point of my post was to rebut another post that painted conservatives as all good and liberals as all bad, by presenting the opposite view. Thus, when combining the two views (as people who read through all these posts will do), it...

    Exactly. I, for one, am registered independent and am more than willing to vote for whoever supports my views, through both their rhetoric and legislative history. Given the current state of affairs, vaping is now the #1 issue my votes will be based on. Other issues will be taken into...

    Allow me to present an opposing point of view: Conservatives believe in maintaining the status quo at all costs. Work primarily for the affluent of our society. Cling to traditional values no matter who they harm. Emphasize the values of one religion, one race, and one gender above all...

    I was planning a brief comment regarding the political issues up for discussion... But, I agree with DrMA's request to keep the thread on the topic of the article itself. So I will refrain from commenting further on those issues. Moving on... Here is a quote from the article: This is...

    Uproar over e-cigarettes

    Note that at the end of the article they are taking a poll on opinions of e-cigs on airplanes :D I voted for "smoke" them! I also noticed that the latest comment is from a non-smoking individual who says that he hopes all smokers will switch to e-cigs because he is allergic to tobacco smoke...

    FDA 23 self proclaimed health/medical groups sign CTFK letter urging FDA to make Deeming Regulation even worse

    Unfortunately none of this surprises me. All of the signatories and the authors get giant amounts of funding from big pharma, and they're going to make whatever ridiculous claims they have to make to protect their financial interests. I do find it interesting, however, that they keep making...

    Proposed Ecig Regs not Sitting Well with Retailers

    ^ I agree, New York state is draconian about their cigarette tax money :( just ask the natives next door who are constantly having to fight to make the state honor their age-old treaty :facepalm: (For those who are unaware, NY state is constantly trying to force the indian reservations to pay...

    I do love Bill's posts, but I agree that the partisan rhetoric has got to go. All is does is alienate people who still support Obama, and it does not help our cause to alienate anyone. Furthermore, I hardly think that all of this nonsense with the FDA is entirely because of the president. We...

    18 Aug 14 - Huff Post - Can We Please Stop Being So Overdramatic About E-Cigarettes?

    I now have much love for huffington post :wub: this is the first time in a long time I've seen a major news outlet publish a positive story about e-cigs :vapor: good news indeed! Added note: the e-cigs they show in the pic, with the gold swirlies on them? I used to have those, back in 2009! :D...

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

    Ah yes... the age old art of indoctrination. It is not difficult to get someone to hold a lifelong belief as long as you teach them in the proper setting. I'll never forget how I was taught American history in elementary school... Christopher Columbus "discovered" America (ha!), and from that...
