    CASAA Call to Action opposing proposed e-cig usage ban in New York City

    All Cuccinelli did was interpret the existing statewide smoking ban law in Virginia - correctly. As written, it simply does not cover the use of e-cigs. Legislators write the laws, not state Attorney Generals. No smoking ban anywhere in existence before the rise of e-cig use covered the use of...

    Urgent New York - Rosenthal at it again! This time, a purported public use ban.

    Well, Galef's bill, very similar to Rosenthal's but with some added matters, has now been officially introduced: Bills Both bills are now pending in the Assembly Health Committee.

    Urgent New York - Rosenthal at it again! This time, a purported public use ban.

    For further reference, here is the current smoking ban law in NY: State of New York - Regulation of Smoking in Public and Work Places. Rosenthal's proposed amendment simply sticks the phrase "including electronic cigarettes" into the existing definition of smoking.

    Urgent New York - Rosenthal at it again! This time, a purported public use ban.

    See this: Bills Unsurprisingly, based on Rosenthal's two utterly stupidly written previous bills aimed at outright sales bans, this proposed statewide use ban is also ridiculously written, such that in it's current state it fails to effectively ban vaping in public, even though that is its...

    Sorry for the delay in answering Bumpi - I had already stepped away from the computer when you posted. Anyway, the FDA did say they intended to release the proposed deeming regulation in April, but that announcement was quite a while back. There's even been a change in the head of their Center...

    ~The Billet BoX~

    Guys, the Vapefest BB was sold at auction to raise funds for research - not at all comparable to the kind of sleazy grab it up and sell at huge profit tactics we see in the classifieds or on FB with regard to highly sought after devices!

    Hey Annie, been okay. Was away on vacation for two weeks, and then really busy catching up at work this week, so I haven't been here much. Yesterday and today was a heck of a long catch up! I'll be at Karen's table most of the time, so come look for us there. Don't know if Mike's workshop is...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    Yes, but how many smokers spent years on the not-so-merry-go-round of smoke, quit attempt with (very expensive) pharmaceutical cessation aids, smoke some more, then another quit attempt with the same or different (very expensive) pharmaceutical cessation aids, and on and on and on, and would...

    The rest of the Story, E ciggarettes ARE safer than the Stinkies..

    I just posted this in the health section in a thread about the formaldehyde finding in the above study, but it really bears repeating here: Dr. Mike and those suspecting PG in the formation of formaldehyde appear to be wrong. The particular study mentioned here does not specify the specific...

    Formaldehyde in e-vapor

    Dr. Mike and those suspecting PG in the formation of formaldehyde appear to be wrong. The particular study mentioned here does not specify the specific makeup (or PG versus glycerin content) of the liquids studied. BUT, many of the same authors are presenting a paper at the SRNT meeting in...

    Here's my solution, recently acquired. I was looking for a pipe rack since I have three pipes, but then realized that if I got the right kind it would work for my special Zenesis as well (and other tube APVs). It would look just as cool with six Zens in it though. This particular rack is an...
