    "Girls with dreams don't smoke or vape" - teaching our children to be prejudiced

    My thoughts exactly! Smoking never kept me from going to college and getting my degree, but people looking down on me and telling me I wasn't capable nearly did. I was hoping society would learn by the next generation, but I guess not...

    FDA CDC once again requests e-cig users who have a cigarette disease to contact CDC (so CDC can falsely insinuate that e-cigs caused the disease)

    ... or those vials of plague diseases like smallpox and anthrax they keep losing track of for some reason? :glare: It amazes me that anybody still trusts these guys with disease control. They're really not very good at it.

    NY Times article reveals (but fails to acknowledge) that tobacco usage bans (including vaping bans) at college campuses are unenforceable and unenforc

    As I noted in another of my posts, at the university where I used to attend, all the campus wide smoking ban did was lead to more cigarette butts on the ground, since they removed all the ashtrays... it was so bad that one student organization was considering handing out pocket ashtrays to...

    FDA CDC once again requests e-cig users who have a cigarette disease to contact CDC (so CDC can falsely insinuate that e-cigs caused the disease)

    I find this interesting: We are looking for people with the following conditions: ... Have used electronic cigarettes along with tobacco cigarettes instead of quitting because they thought it was better for their health than smoking cigarettes alone and yet they experienced a severe health...

    Thank you for the tips Berylanna :) As for Roswell, the PR to legislators moves are recent. I do believe that they are trying to push an anti-ecig slant to garner more research money. They've been conducting research on vaping for the last couple years, then came out with the famous...

    FDA New CDC survey confirms that e-cig use by nonsmokers has been virtually nonexistant, but misrepresents survey findings to news media

    The real question is, does this matter enough to argue about? No, no I don't think it does.

    FDA FDA Guidelines: Establishing That a Tobacco Product Was Commercially Marketed in the United States as of February 15, 2007

    That's interesting because it was just published. They may be preparing for the possibility that the court will force them to exclude e-cigs from these regulations.... although, at the same time, they are also not mentioning anything else in this document that they consider a tobacco product...

    Update: I have looked into this. There is no bill yet, but there are plans to draw one up. The bill is to ban all sales to minors county-wide, and to ban vaping in places where smoking is already prohibited. Vendors have voiced their concerns that an indoor vaping ban will affect their...

    Ecig nicotine juice severe headache.

    s528, I just read through this entire thread and you are being confusing and difficult. Yet, I will attempt to work with what you have said. First of all, you have had a headache for a month straight. Yes, you need to see a doctor. I know you said you are not seeking medical advice, but I...

    FDA Should I donate to help fund Dr. Michael Siegel's new study?

    This is exactly why I am so disappointed with his conduct at the end of this. He has been a powerful voice in our community for a long time, and he has done a lot to advocate for us. But to publicly accuse CASAA of asking him to rig the study when they did not do so is unacceptable. That is a...

    FDA Should I donate to help fund Dr. Michael Siegel's new study?

    Thank you Carl. I am very sorry to see Dr. Siegel make such accusations. I know you and CASAA were only asking for him to change the study to produce more reliable results, not more "positive" results. It's sad to see him twist that to such an extreme.

    FDA Should I donate to help fund Dr. Michael Siegel's new study?

    Fwiw, this is pretty much exactly what I was taught in school back in 2006-ish when I was a student of psychology and social sciences (before I switched majors anyway). In fact, we were taught very explicitly to trust data from these over surveys, because they are so well-controlled and "people...

    FDA Should I donate to help fund Dr. Michael Siegel's new study?

    I just read your entire blog post. Carl, are you absolutely certain, without any doubt, that it was CASAA which Dr. Siegel was accusing of asking for the study to be rigged? When I first read his post I honesty thought he must be talking about someone else, as I know CASAA knows better than...

    Vaping at a gas station

    Remind me to never move to New Jersey then. For some reason I keep ending up with cars that have defective stop valves, which means every new person who pumps my gas requires instructions if I want more than a couple gallons of gas :glare: I'd much rather just do it myself...

    FDA Should I donate to help fund Dr. Michael Siegel's new study?

    This is unfortunate. I hope that he and his team will not give up entirely, but instead will use this experience to help plan for a future study which will be more fruitful and earn more funding. I have been thinking a lot for the last few days about this and, while I maintain my position...
