Ten years smoke free. :banana: Thank you to all of ECF, Oliver and the founders, mods, staff, and members and for helping make vaping accessible to the masses. Couldn't have done this without you.

Only healthy alternative to smoking is quitting, study says Includes: So vaping reduces COPD risk by a bit more than half, but doesn't eliminate it (I'm not sure how they can really tell that one, but ...) The effect of nic on arteries is not exactly unexpected, but I'd anticipate a reduced...

Smokers, do not apply: U-Haul won't hire nicotine users in 21 states U-Haul. Not even medical institutions like hospitals or whatnot. U-Haul. What's next for employees? BMI? Genetic testing? Pizza monitoring?

Is it possible to translate the facebook [MEDIA] links into an actual URL? Either manually or via the parsing process? I'm not assimilated, so certain types of FB links don't work, and all I get is some number (and even then I have to 'reply' to the post to see it). Looking up the number in...

Save the children! Tax it and ban it! Surgeon General issues rare advisory calling for local taxes, indoor public vaping bans Also cites "kids don't know that Juul contains nicotine" pseudo-fact. (Like they can't feel it :rolleyes:) They lie on surveys. Duh. I'll guess that most here have...

Thanks ECF for helping me through EIGHT YEARS without smoking. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to Oliver for recognizing the "modern miracle" of e-cigs and starting ECF, all the ECF staff, all those that keep up the fight, the snails ( ;) ), and all the people here that make the...

a person or a thing. Tired of politics and such, so here's what I hope is a "fun" thread. The trick is you have to supply the answer too. People or things that you think others will remember and go "Oh! Yeah! I remember that" or "Wow, I didn't know that/they ended up..." I'll start with...

Y'all know about that button not "working" sometimes (it functions, but image is bad). Note, I was able to clear Flash data, clear FF cache, and while it was asking to "Allow Adobe Flash to...?" the normal image showed. But if I authorize ECF for flash, I get the "white bar button". :/...

This afternoon marks FIVE YEARS without so much as a puff of tobacco. I have e-cigs to thank for it, and ECF in particular for helping me understand and stay with these alternative-nicotine harm-reduction devices. It's been a long journey, making new friends, offering and being offered...

Arizona to stop hiring smokers soon | General News I assume the "Ebola-cigarette" in the quote above is really "E-Cigarette". I also assume that people in Arazona that state not-hiring-smokers isn't penalizing them should think things through more thoroughly. Note that IDK if they can tell...
