    Smart politician?? Can it Be??

    I like this part: “It just demonstrates we don’t even know what we are opposed to,” Pirri added. Yes!!! :toast: I wish more politicians had the gall to say this out loud! Well done! :thumbs:

    18 Sep 14: Be honest about yourselves Public Health

    Absolutely wonderful blog post, thank you for sharing! :thumbs: I love the way the writer so eloquently describes the gradual rise of the public health lobby: "The problem is that today's society has produced a parasite otherwise known as the Public Health lobby. Since the 60's, these people...

    San Diego City Council approves onerous, FUD-based restrictions on vaping

    This reminds me of how they "banned" smoking at the university I used to attend. It's a huge campus - up to a 20 min walk from one end to the other - and they wouldn't even allow smoking in the parking lot! They said you had to go across the street. All it led to was all the ashtrays being...

    My frustration with "journalists" writing articles on E-Cigs... (Rant)

    Exactly. Like my friends in the past who felt the need to quit their 2 cup a day coffee habit simply because they fear being addicted to it. I've even been told, many times in my life, that I should quit my lifelong prescription medication because if I don't really need it (and I do, but some...

    [09/17/2014] ASH: New survey finds regular use of electronic cigarettes by children still rare

    So vapor products are not only a threat to big pharma (lost revenue from quit smoking products), big tobacco (lost revenue from cigarettes), and big government (lost tax revenue), but they also have to potential to be a threat to the food industry as well... This is horrifying and delightful at...

    FDA FDA announces E-Cigarette workshop (DEC 2014)

    I agree. I think they want to rewrite the deeming so that it is more applicable to e-cigs, i.e. they want to write it so it's easier for them to really crack down.

    How much is too much???

    The simple answer is, at this point there is no "recommended daily allowance", as you put it, for any vapor ingredient. There are some inhalable medicines that are based in PG, but the recommended dosages for them are primarily for the main ingredient, i.e. drug that's suspended in PG, not for...

    World Vaping Day 2014 is coming up soon

    When I clicked on the tagged location closest to me on the map, it described when and where the event will be held in March 2012 :unsure: I'm not even sure if there's one in that city this year, or any city near me. Is there an updated list of locations for these events?

    FDA FDA announces E-Cigarette workshop (DEC 2014)

    That's exactly it. When looking over the list of questions, you can tell they are really nitpicking at every single tiny little detail about vaping that may, possibly, potentially, lead to a (minor) danger which would "justify" the FDA exerting control over the market to protect us from...

    ibuprofen and vaping

    You say that you're getting a feeling in your neck and shoulders that is similar to what you get when you are stressed, but you don't "feel" stressed. I can't help but wonder if you are actually really stressed about something but are ignoring it because you've gotten into the habit of doing...

    E-cigs under fire by an Orwellian Shadowy Cabal

    Everything about this is spot on with me. I always feel like the current issues with vaping are the perfect representation of how broken our system is. It almost feels like we're at the center of it all. I try to tell myself that's not the case, but it always appears to be that way. At the...

    FDA Why are makers of Cigalikes lobbying to ban vaping?

    Fwiw, it didn't seem to me like the discussion at hand turned to religion per se. I was under the impression that people were simply using religion as an example of how our government doesn't actually represent the people proportionally, i.e. the people who get elected are less likely to...

    Study demonstrates that dry-burning may be bad for you

    They also mention in this study that 5 of their 28 samples contained significant amounts of ethylene glycol, to the point of being "the dominant compound" in these liquids :huh: I want to know who made those liquids...

    Another abysmal study of ecigs surfaces at European conference

    Thank you for warning us ahead of time :facepalm: I, for one, am curious to see what the experimental conditions were in this dismal excuse for a scientific study... did they deliberately expose the mice to vapor created under unusually high temperatures? Hmm... we shall see. I do like that...

    E-cigs under fire by an Orwellian Shadowy Cabal

    Unfortunately this thread did not show up on my google search, but I did find... <snipped> EDIT: Ah, I see I've simply come back around to the monstrosity linked in OP's original post. My bad.

    E-cigs under fire by an Orwellian Shadowy Cabal

    Ok I poked around a tad (as much as time permits at the moment), and yes I am thoroughly creeped out :blink: though not at all surprised. First, they changed their name from Public Health Law & Policy to ChangeLab Solutions. The former name indicated clearly what their organization is all...

    Drugs Sold as Ejuice Hospitalize Teens

    You're right, it is absolutely not proof of anything. But that doesn't mean that it can't, or won't, be used against us. ANTZ aren't exactly known for spreading truth, and because of their tenacity for twisting things to their liking, I don't foresee this going well for us.

    Are E-Cigarettes Less Harmful? Yes And No

    Re. the now infamous metals study - here is the original thread on that topic: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/media-general-news/598590-dangers-e-cigarettes-toxic-metals-exposed.html The OP linked both the study abstract (as the full text is not yet available) and the raw data from the...

    Drugs Sold as Ejuice Hospitalize Teens

    This is very bad for us. This is proof that "they" could be "putting anything in those" and that you may "not know what's in those things," as ANTZ have been touting for years. This is the proof they were looking for :mad:
