    FDA new york state, vaping indoors can be punishable by criminal misconduct?

    No one said you were lying joose. I live near where you are, there is no public vaping ban by law anywhere near here (for those who are unaware, NYC is hundreds of miles from Buffalo, on the other side of the state - their laws are not applicable here). There is talk of a potential ban in...

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

    Understandable, but as both I and Seniorboy noted in our posts above, it is simply his fundraising goal, i.e. what he hopes to achieve, not the minimum amount required. He wants to raise that much money so that he can have a very large sample of subjects for the study, since each individual...

    FDA bolsters claim for chantix safety

    I can't help but wonder if Pfizer's appeal to the FDA to remove the black box warning has anything to do with them feeling the need to boost their sales to compensate for profit losses due to vapor products......

    Jut seen this....NY

    Seeing this now for the first time, coming from the area where I live and work. Idiots :facepalm: The institute (Roswell) who is claiming all those toxins in vapor is indeed the same institute who conducted the famous study where formaldehyde was produced in a clearo by dry-burning it to...

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

    I need to respectfully disagree with CASAA's position on this. Granted, I applaud CASAA in all the work they do, and I will continue to support them in any way I can. I simply disagree on this point. The proposed cost is high indeed, but keep in mind that is just his goal for fundraising...

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

    From Dr. Siegel: In BSCiTS, we hope to conduct a six-month, randomized study that looks at changes in smoking behavior over time when smokers who wish to quit or cut down are offered a free, ten-week supply of either nicotine patches or electronic cigarettes. So basically, each smoker will be...

    Another MSN Article.

    I want to add one more thing about the study that I caught my second or third time reading it. This, when combined with the data on those who dropped from the study, explains everything. I'm honestly shocked I overlooked this before... When the authors describe their methods for analysis...

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

    True. Most of what I hear from the average person is something along the lines of "How do you know that's safe? No one knows what they put in those things!" :glare: It does depend on the environment though. I went to a wedding once in a town I'd never been in before and my vaping got...

    You are absolutely right, I misread that the first time through. My mistake :)

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

    Right, but it's not just a matter of winning over ANTZ, it's a matter of winning over the millions more people who are sitting on the fence about these issues - and since second and third gen products are more effective, a study like this could do that :)

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

    I'm going to attempt to address many of the above points without multiquoting the whole page... First of all, Michael Siegel has been a very strong advocate for e-cigarettes for years. Yes he has a history, and you may not agree with it or with everything he says, but that doesn't mean he does...

    Another MSN Article.

    I finally got ahold of the full-text study - it was a pita to obtain! I wasn't able to get to it by searching for it through my university's database; I had to go through the university (to log in), then go to Wiley online, go into their "oncology" category, find the Cancer journal, and then...

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

    That is actually perfect, because if he were a known vaper then it would be easy for ANTZ to call him out for being biased and possibly injecting that bias into his research. We need more non-vapers on our side. It would not look good for us if only vapers come out with studies in support of...

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

    Thank you :toast: and actually I thought your post had some excellent points as well, most notably this: If we could get some of these popular youtube personalities, (Rip, Todd, etc.) to plug at the end of some of their new videos an appeal to donate to this super-important study, imagine how...

    Thoughts? Kanger Aerotank VS Aspire Nautilus

    I do not have a vamo, so I can't tell you which tank would look better on that particular mod. However, I recently bought both the nautilus and the aerotank. Even when using the exact same flavor and after rebuilding the coils in both, I still get much better flavor, throat hit and vapor from...

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

    This is why this study is so important; from Dr. Siegel's blog post on the subject: "While two trials have been conducted in other countries, none have yet been reported in the U.S. However, we believe that the FDA will require research from the U.S. in the new product applications. Three...

    18 Sep 14: Be honest about yourselves Public Health

    According to these rights, as stated: If a person or group of persons (say, Kangertech) chooses of their own volition to manufacture vapor products, and also chooses to make them available for purchase by any other persons, then another person (say, dragonpuff) therefore has the right to...
