    Another Good source Published Today in Addiction.

    I cannot access the full article. Clicking on either "full article" or "download pdf" takes me to a log in page. I may find other means of access as a university alumni, but how can those who are not access it?

    FDA Personally unworried about the regulations

    I reiterate, I have hope because I've done something, because many of us have done something. We all need to make sure that politicians know we care about e-cigarettes and our access to them in order for the regulations to be revised in a way that is less harmful to us. Unfortunately, when...

    The final countdown to August 8th - your FDA comments NEEDED

    I've posted several comments and haven't noted the tracking numbers, I didn't realize CASAA wanted them til like yesterday :oops: my apologies... no doubt many other people haven't kept track of theirs. If we search for e-cigarettes or e-cigs, count how many are clearly pro and how many are...

    E-cigarettes and vaping ‘may cause lung cancer like normal cigarettes’

    I can't even begin to tell you how furious I was when I first saw the commercials advertising antipsychotics (re: Abilify) as a useful adjunct to depression therapy! :mad: Those drugs were designed to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder - they are very strong drugs, extremely sedating and...

    FDA Personally unworried about the regulations

    I believe that someday the truth will come out, because in the end truth always wins eventually. It could happen soon - maybe within the next few years the general public will have a better understanding of vaping and its potential to nearly eliminate smoking-related disease. Then the...

    Amish vaping...

    It is kind of a prevailing myth that Amish people avoid anything having to do with electricity... a few Amish sects do, but the majority will use a little electricity here and there. I live near a few Amish communities as well (smaller ones, no doubt, but still...) and I've seen them purchase...

    E-cigarettes and vaping ‘may cause lung cancer like normal cigarettes’

    I can attest to this personally. I am on lifelong therapy with one daily medication, and I vape high dose nicotine; before that I smoked at least a pack of cigarettes a day. Without nicotine, I would probably need at least 2 or 3 more medications just to function, let alone do nearly as well...

    FDA I can't locate one of my comments

    Did you submit it as an attachment? Those cannot be searched. Otherwise, they may have not read it yet. With the large volume of comments they're receiving, it's unlikely they're reading them in order. See if it turns up in a couple more days. If you happen to have a copy of it handy, you...

    FDA 27.07.2014 - Glantz to FDA - FDA should prohibit of use of flavors

    I love how Glantz didn't even bother discriminating between tobacco flavor and non-tobacco flavor this time :confused: well yeah, when you put it that way they are all flavored! :facepalm: This is ridiculous...

    FDA I think we need to push the zero-nic angle in our comments

    :closedeyes: please do not put words in my mouth, that is not what I meant at all... My point is, what is our larger cause here? Is this just a hobby for you, or is this what got you away from analogs? When you quit smoking, did you do so by vaping zero nic? Sure, you don't want them taking...

    The final countdown to August 8th - your FDA comments NEEDED

    A gentle bump :) I just saw this elsewhere and it reminded me of our struggle: "The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one...

    Permanent cold, throat irritation

    For starters, you've been sick for a year and a half?? Have you been to the doctor? (I see you're in the US, so I understand if you can't afford to go to the doctor over a minor issue...) I agree that it might be allergies. Sometimes at a certain age you just start having allergies almost...

    FDA I think we need to push the zero-nic angle in our comments

    Many others have theorized that because e-liquid doesn't have to contain nicotine, all of the other components of an e-cig cannot be considered a tobacco device. An example is here...

    The final countdown to August 8th - your FDA comments NEEDED

    Comment tip: Take all the things you have issue with, and split them into separate comments. For instance, write one comment about your concern for your health if you go back to smoking, write one about the relative safety of e-cigs, one about the importance of access to different flavors, one...
