At a resort in Mexico recently, whenever I would sit at an outdoor table and start vaping, a waitress would bring over an ashtray.

Dillworth Plaza, in Center City Philadelphia. This is a large outdoor plaza, and I was rather innocuously standing off to the side. And security personnel asked me to leave / stop vaping. I was kind of incredulous, but ultimately found it kind of chuckle-worthy.

The budget document states in section C1-6 "a 40% tax on the wholesale price of other tobacco products is proposed, including smokeless tobacco, large cigars, loose tobacco, and e-cigarettes." That, and a reiteration of the above are the only references to e-cigarettes. Now to parse exactly...

#3. Tried cig-a-likes several years ago, but they simply weren't strong enough and kind of a hassle. In March of 2014 I went to an e-go kit, and quit analogs instantly and overnight. This was an accident, as I was simply trying to save some dough. From there, a Protank 2 mini, then an MVP...

People seem to sometimes forget that there are many state governments that have a large stake in analog cigarette sales. When the analog sales decline, so too do revenues, and this seems to upset the elected and appointed officials who then have less revenue to "work" with. Wasn't the whole...

The money quote for me was: (Referencing previously one of those 'but we don't know' statements) "This logic is in defiance of what studies accomplish. Studies seek to show something is harmful and/or to show that it is more effective than a placebo and competing treatment." Which was really...

Oh, this is thought-provoking alright, but... Point #2 is a bunch of Malthusian drivel that's been proven wrong over the last several centuries. Dark and sinister indeed.

Right on Rog, understood. :toast: Words in fact do matter a great deal; I, for example, never ever say the e-c&* word.

Yes, I've been thinking about when I'm going to be saying to myself "Remember when juice cost 8 bucks a bottle..." I don't know when, but looking at some of the NJ proposals, it's not encouraging.

Very, very true. People, including legislators, have much bigger fish to fry - attention spans are limited, competing priorities are scattered everywhere, and so forth. Everyone has differing day-to-day concerns, and on this forum, we're hearing from quite a cross-section of the population...

Awesome! Can I vape on the bus? Pleeeeaaaassse? :)

Thx Rog, and please pardon my ignorance. I understand the point more clearly now.

Indeed. Let's not forget that progressive thought was responsible for quite a lot of very hard censorship during WWI, prohibition, endorsement of eugenics practices (later including the Tuskegee syphilis experiments at the end of the progressive era), indeed the FDA itself (which in response to...

I concur with Anjaffm. In my case, it was mint flavor with red wine - errrr.... not so much. But try a sweet-ish tobacco flavor, I thought it was nice, with wine anyway. I don't drink very much beer, but it seems as though some pairings could happen. Start with tobacco mixes, and then maybe...

I agree with your statement completely, although it seems as though the original article tried to insinuate something completely different. The insinuation was playing into biases about mental illness, i.e. they're vaping because of something abnormal about them. It's a variation on an old...

What I'd like to see city councils (including my own) do is allow the vape at the discretion of the owners. That's sort of the way things are going here - some establishments are cool with it, so they don't ask anyone to stop. That said, the vapers for their part should be polite, with no huge...

I call the action "vaping." As for the method, I usually say "The Vape" or simply "Vape." I used to smoke, but no longer do, so it's not smoking; I very politely correct everyone that does call it smoking or references smoke. As noted in the post above, I am a "vaper" (and certainly not a...

Farsalinos also questions what I was wondering with this: how hot - how much power - was the juice being subjected to? At a high voltage or wattage with a tank system, you're going to burn your juice. And what vaper enjoys burnt juice, anyway? I burned some juice early on while getting the...

Taking a break briefly, but eGo twist with Zen Juice Frostbite. Protank II Mini. Shortly, back to Evod with RY42; this goes with red wine ane food, tastes kind of like light maple.
