    UPDATED New York State Call to Action

    Not true. The bill as written refers to the New York State definition of "tobacco product" (as found in the Public Health Law). I've written about that before. See, eg, this post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/law-e-cigarette/156600-new-york-sales-ban-next-steps-18.html#post3109713...

    IVAQS Project Briefing

    Yes, you did assume. Wrongly. The second data collection run took place, after that admitted disaster of an "update" (yes, I heard it). There are a lot of people throwing around unfounded and wild accusations and rumors. While the initial speaking out on the first set of data without the...

    New york sales ban next steps

    Mark, while I truly appreciate your taking action, and loved the passion of your letter - A1468 is the bill intended to ban sales of ecigs. So a vote against it a vote we definitely want. So I don't quite understand this line in your letter: "I can not believe that you are going to vote against...

    UPDATED New York State Call to Action

    I think he was referring to your "garbage" link too, Tom, not to your post. :-)

    ProVari feeder system???

    Why not try an eGo tank atomizer? There is an adapter for this on the ProVari site: Ego-T Adapter (LOL - the only reason I know about this is because I was helping out my niece in her search for a new ecig, and having recommended tank atomizers for her, lamented that not being able to use a...

    UPDATED New York State Call to Action

    So far it is Tom. I monitor the New york State Senate and Assembly sites weekly, specifically checking for meeting agendas in the committees these bills are pending in. That would be the Senate Health Committee, and the Assembly Codes and Health Committees. Neither the Rosenthal/Klein bills...

    IVAQS Project Briefing

    Why should you make such an assumption? As far as I am aware, a second data collection run has been done, the raw data is therefore all in, and what remains is the necessary analysis by an air quality scientist. Actual publication of the study in a reputable journal is the ultimate goal, but...

    A tribute to Trog and The Screwdriver

    I have to add a "me too" here. Used ecigs off and on starting with an Njoy penstyle in January 2008 - but it wasn't until my first beloved SD in November 2008 that I was able to make the switch away from cigarettes a complete and total one! I have quite a few SDs, and they are still my one...

    Fda To Regulate E-Cigs As Tobacco Products

    LOL - you cannot have it both ways. You're the one who made the legislative intent argument - as a basis for arguing that ecigs could be construed to be within the coverage of the PACT Act, as currently written. "[E]specially in light of the preamble (statement of Congressional intent) that...

    Fda To Regulate E-Cigs As Tobacco Products

    Anouk, no one ever said the PACT Act could not be amended to cover other tobacco products, potentially including the ecig, because of course it could! But no, "containing" neither does, nor, I submit, would ever be construed to, equate with "derived from". Further, all tobacco taxation...

    What was the major reason you started smoking?

    Sorry Elaine, but I really can't vote in this poll due to the lack of an appropriate choice. For me it was boredom. Literally. I was fifteen, and had a summer job on a really quiet and isolated private island - doing dishes. One older sister was the family's nanny, one was the cook, and I, the...

    Ideas Please

    SD, Kemp Hannon is the Chair of the New York State Senate Health Committee. We need people to work on the statewide bill that would outlaw sales of ecigs, yes. But, the proposed New York City legislation, including ecig use in its comprehensive smoking ban (even including outdoor locations...

    Ideas Please

    I see you have both Florida and NYC listed as your location. Right now, probably the biggest and most important challenge of all is the pending NYC regulation that would amend the smoking ban to include ecigs. If you do have free time, please consider working on that. If NYC does do this, it...

    Can ecigs and eliquids be allowed in luggage or purse on airplanes?

    3 ounces is 88.7 ml. So that's the largest size bottle that can go in your quart baggie. I've traveled with a few 60 ml bottles in mine. 3 oz to ml - Google Search You can take as many bottles at or under that 3 ounce limit as will fit in one baggie, and that is several, but I doubt you...

    PG is an effective germicide for influenza and pneumonia

    Kilo, you probably aren't aware of this as you seem to be a relatively new vaper (per your ECF join date), but, as a result of those studies from the 1940s, PG has been approved for use, and has been used, as an AIR disinfectant in hospitals, food establishments, major transportation centers...
