    Class Action Against the FDA

    GEEZ, I wish there was such a thing as class-action lawsuits here (in Nicaragua). They´ve already banned imports and sales, based on the US FDA´s analysis.

    status of e cigs in South America

    Can´t say, for Ecuador. I recently found out the hard way that they aren´t legal in Nicaragua ! Possesion is OK, but sales and imports are banned, all based on the US FDA analysis. I guess I´ll be smuggling e-liquid, LOL ! It´s ironic that all the natives here are genuinely interested in...

    Class Action Against the FDA

    Hmmm ... There is at least one negative fact identified in this study : Propylene oxide is an epoxide. Epoxides are known mutagens and carcinogens, although there was a study done in France which showed no co-relation between epoxides inhaled in cigarette smoke and lung cancer. Also, it...

    Electronic Cigarettes Could Be The Invention Of The Century Read more: Electronic Cigarettes Could Be The Invention Of The Century | Everything You N

    OK, so it's not a bona fide news story. It is still a good review of e-cigs, available for all to see. While the author's goal is to generate more traffic to their website, it is good info, nonetheless. If it wasn't good info, it wouldn't generate the traffic. This really isn't much different...

    Are Guns Medical Devices?

    Oh No ! No, no, no, no ! You can't have sweetened soy milk, you can't even have sweetened vegetable juice. That's the whole point. So how do you feel about un-sweetened soy milk ?

    Rising tobacco taxes encourage black market in cigarettes

    As an international mariner, I have access to tax-free cigarettes. I used to smoke Kool's, and in 2009 was paying $12.50/ carton, delivered to my door. I'm not sure if it was my latent honesty or simple lack of time that kept me from getting a van full. Maybe it was just my utter amazement that...

    E-Cig advertised as a cessation product

    Undoubtedly, it's a miracle ... I'm surprised that it is not represented to work best for smokers under the age of 18. (NO LOL!)

    ACLU stance on PV's?

    We recently re-located to the top of Hog Mountain, in GA. One of the things that we had to do was get our well-water tested. There is no note of any Flouride (of any type) or any other 'contaminant' that shouldn't be there naturally ... Oh, wait a minute, the water-testing labs are in on this...

    ACLU stance on PV's?

    I did. I take it you did not understand my post : My drinking water supply comes from a Well, not a public source.

    ACLU stance on PV's?

    I suppose I'll be one of the people to survive Sodium Flouride. If I catch anyone from the government attempting to put anything in my Well, I'll either shoot them or turn myself into the local booby hatch for treatment of paranoid hallucinations, LOL !

    ACLU stance on PV's?

    Offended ?!? Naahhhh, I was looking for a good laugh, just didn't expect to find it here, LOL!

    Are Guns Medical Devices?

    One definate result from this new legislation will be the disappearance of all beverage vending machines. I mean, who is actually going to purchase soy milk, rice milk, etc., from a vending machine ? There is a reason those items aren't currently vended. If I was a vending machine owner, I'd...

    Why has no lab tested the E cigs???

    DEG has shown up in cheap VG. I would bet (if, in fact, it was really there at all) that the Chinese used non-USP grade Glycerin, and that was the source of the DEG. Just my $.02 ...

    E-cigs under attack in Colombia since 1st of July!

    It reads about as good as the Spanish to English translation posted by the OP. Unfortunately, I can't do much better. I am not surprised, though. Back in the early '90's, I lived/worked in Cartagena and San Andres, Columbia. Back then (maybe now, also) the official Government was always quick...

    Got pulled over last night with e-cig

    This could be regarded as off-topic, but after DaveP's post (he may even rec'v the channel I was watching), here goes ... Just yesterday I saw an e-cig commercial on TV (Atlanta, GA). At first I just sat there in amazement. IN fact, the entire 60 seconds the commercial lasted had me sitting...

    New business in Pacific View mall sells e-cigarettes

    I didn't like the way it started, but really, they did give e-cigs a fair shake.

    Anyone speak metric?

    For sure, the values we want to be evaluating are the amount of TSNA's ingested, for all substances, else there really isn't a basis for true comparison.

    Regulatory Capture -- I didn't know that someone had put a name to it, but it definately explains the forces at work against vaping and e-cigs ... I don't suppose that there's a simple resolution for it ? Besides shutting down the FDA, that is ...

    Blah, Blah, Blah

    Hmmm ... It would appear the Nazi's were the first to recognize the dangers of Tobacco smoking. This paragraph really amused me ... Sounds a little paranoid to me ... "the wrath of the Red Man against the White Man for having been given hard liquor."
