For those of you who have noticed the barrage of stories today about a new "study" (junk) published in the journal Pediatrics, below is an excellent and concentrated response. If you run across any of these stories on the net, and there is a place to add comments, please add the link below and...
A new article in the Spectator (UK) health section that everyone should read. Excellent points made, and a shout out to ECF in the text.

I saw that Smoky Joe posted some videos from the summit last week, and I ran across these on YouTube today. There are a total of 20 videos from the summit (16 individual presentations, and 4 panels), and I recommend you take some time to watch them all. Watch 1 or 2 a day, or binge watch them...
Just found this video on YouTube which was published a few days ago, which involves a panel discussion in the UK on the subject of vapor products and public health. It's a very good discussion, so please take the time to review it when you get a chance.
Another great article posted today by Dr. Carl Phillips, this time about the PHE 95% number and why it's actually bogus. He gives and excellent break down of the types of risks assessed in the studies used in the analysis and why they do not correlated to one another, nor do they support the...
Another great article by Dr. Carl Phillips (he's on a roll lately):
New claims about burden of disease from smokeless tobacco are utter junk (the short version) | Anti-THR Lies and related topics
Yet another excellent article by Dr. Carl Phillips on the major issues surrounding the (mis)use of epidemiology with regard to smoking related deaths (and I assume illness can be applied as well).
Sunday Science Lesson: So how would you estimate how many deaths are caused by smoking? | Anti-THR...
This is an excellent article from Dr. Carl Phillips which I feel that anyone who is doing any type of vape advocacy should read and take to heart.
Ecig proponents need to learn lessons from other activists | Anti-THR Lies and related topics
Here's an excerpt that I think summarizes the point...
I recently found this YouTube channel and I wanted to share it with the community. They've produced 9 short videos in the past week or so, and they approach the subject of vendor and consumer advocacy with a great deal of passion. Please take a moment to view some (or all) of their videos...
This is an outstanding piece from Dr. Carl Phillips on the recent discussion he had with a group of scientists on the subject of reducing nicotine in traditional tobacco cigarettes as a deterrent to smoking:
On the complete absence of ethical etc. thinking in tobacco control (in the context of...
A follow up article on the CDC report in the NY Times, emphasizing the historic drop in combustible cigarette consumption by teens and giving credit to e-cigs.

Yet more incentive for states to kill the vapor products market.
An excellent article by Carl V. Phillips that explains (in plain English, mostly) the difference between vapor and aerosol, as well as solid particles vs. liquid droplets. It's worth a good read (or two) to gain a good understanding of the subject matter, and as a tool to educate others on how...
I'm really surprised this didn't already get posted here. Dr. Phillips (a well known THR advocate) has posted an entire satire piece on the hazards of e-cigs. Anyone who reads his articles / posts regularly knows that he has a sharp satirical whit, but it's usually woven throughout more...
A generally good op-ed by Michael Siegel, in which he basically calls out those in tobacco control that demonize vapor products:
Michael B. Siegel: The Misbegotten Crusade Against E-Cigarettes - WSJ
The issues I have with his opinion are the regulations he recommends for diacetyl and...
I forgot to mark the day on my calendar, but I've been 3 years smoke free because of vapor products, as of yesterday. AND... I've been on ECF for almost as long and have learned a great deal from this community of great people, and made a few friends along the way.
Vapor products and ECF...
I saw this in my news feed yesterday, and I'm wondering if anyone from the U.K. could verify this story or similar situations. It's in the Daily Mail and I've heard that the DM is not the most reliable source, so I'm a bit skeptical.

A fairly decent opinion article from the NY Times, which is rather unusual as they tend to push the FUD. It still has some major problems with the facts, but it's not too bad considering the source:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/19/opinion/will-the-fda-kill-off-e-cigs.html
Gregory Conley of the AVA (American Vaping Association) wrote this article and it explains at least some of the opposition we face. The focus of this article is that of Big Tobacco, and while some might feel that BT is not the largest player (myself included), I do believe it's a good angle to...
