    Nicotine as a natural cure

    I have done a lot of research into the "nicotine is a poison/is nicotine bad" issue and idea. A LOT of research. This is what I keep finding over, and over, and over. On the nicotine danger side: -Nicotine is a POISON. -Nicotine is EXTREMELY TOXIC, and it is one of the most toxic substances...

    In your life, have you ever quit and 'relapsed' back into smoking? What was it like? - A Dubd1c3 Poll

    I'd like to collect some account as to what going back to smoking was like. This poll is not to imply that you returned to smoking after using PVs. This is a general relapse poll about any time you ever relapsed. I don't really like the term 'relapsed.' I will say 'returned to...

    E-Cigs for Quitters only?

    Well this raises an interesting issue. It relates to whether the method of attaining nicotine should determine, or at least influence, its identity. Why should e-cigs be exempted from pharma NRT? Because it is "pleasurable"? Should nicotine gum be used recreationally? Most will say no...

    Nicotine as a natural cure

    I was not challenging your personal experience, only giving a view on your statement that "nicotine is bad because it is highly addictive."

    Nicotine as a natural cure

    Anything that stimulates dopamine release is addictive, but to say that all of them are bad is unreasonable. Assigning bad or good labels to a thing are methods of interpretation of that thing, not intrinsic properties of that thing. To say it is bad because it's addictive oversimplifies the...

    Do you know a lot of "non-smoker" vaporers?

    Zelda, The FDA will use whatever information they can find against e-cigs if they decide that's what they want to do. To suggest that young people shouldn't seek out alternatives, or to say that seeing young people vaping concerns you is suggesting that young people should either smoke or...

    Do you know a lot of "non-smoker" vaporers?

    I don't understand this. I am a young smoker in my early 20s and I have switched to vaping. Luckily, vaping came along when I was a 5 year smoker instead of a 25 year smoker. I will be quite honest, vaping hasn't really captivated my age bracket as I had originally thought. I vape in...

    Maybe the issue is geopolitical... (USA v China)

    I have a theory that e-cig criminalization actually succeeded in New York and NJ because of Pfizer and JnJ (Big NRT) are headquartered there... combined with existing anti-smoking efforts there... ban success.

    Maybe the issue is geopolitical... (USA v China)

    See now isn't that kind of... illegal? Microsoft can't sponsor a law that makes Macs illegal, can it? I mean, honestly. Are antitrust and monopoly even real words anymore?

    E-cigs in Popular Media

    I have considered this greatly. In the past, smoking in film has been more or less arbitrary since we were in a 'smoking society.' Recently, smoking has very specific purposes in film. Directors include smoking in film deliberately and for special reasons. Lately, you will find smoking used...

    Nicotine as a natural cure

    This particular article is a pro-nic essay for an "herbal drink" featuring nicotine- there are much more credible sources out there describing the health 'benefits' and uses of nicotine. Make no mistake about this, Big Pharma has been interested in these effects for a while now. NUMEROUS...

    E cig law status

    For the US, there is a September rehearing between SE/NJOY and FDA. If Leon's decision is reversed, we will be in some trouble and FDA will be able to stop import of devices and juice. Sign the petition at http://www.ecigssavelives.info to help. UK e-cigs ban information YouTube - UK BANS...

    I feel the registered ECF suppliers should link the petition on their sites.

    Feel free to work on it, I may bust out my Photoshop skills too. We have all summer but we should all get on something like this soon.

    I feel the registered ECF suppliers should link the petition on their sites.

    Doesn't it make sense that the registered suppliers here on ECF should have some kind of visibility or awareness of the http://ecigssavelives.info/ petition on their site? It would get a bunch more signatures IMO. Suppliers should do something simple like this to get in the legal fight. I...

    A) Who are the alphabet soup good guys & B) Who are the lawyers challenging FDA in Sept?

    A) We all know about alphabet soup bad guys, who are the alphabet soup good guys? So far I've got CASAA, ECA, VC, ECF of course... others? Also, I heard FDA appeal is in September. Is there a news article or source about this? Who will be arguing for e-cigs? Do we know the firm/company?

    Does this device exist? Say I have 10 batts and I want to charge them all at once with one wall outlet. How can this be done? Does a rack charger exist? Can it be made?
