    How old was your daughter when she started having psychosomatic reactions to perfumes? Some of the people who have reported respiratory problems in their children had kids that were too young to really be able to talk themselves into the respiratory problems, and they subsequently cleared up...

    Vaping...More harm then good? For me yes...Im done!!!!!!

    I read this whole thread back when it was a lot newer than it is now, and I can't remember for sure but I seem to recall that the AP was merely stating that he had not gone back to the physician when all the other many symptoms started to show themselves. For some reason I seem to believe that...

    Vaping...More harm then good? For me yes...Im done!!!!!!

    It's rather complicated to explain exactly where on the page it would be, but it is in the prescribing information for physicians and healthcare professionals. There is a list that contains EVERYTHING that is in a given prescription, what the medication is suspended in, what it is preserved...

    There have been people who have had family members have breathing difficulties around their ecig vapor. Not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but there aren't a whole lot of vapers ballsy enough to post any problems, either.

    Fired for ecig use

    Is Massachusetts an 'at will' state? If so, they can get rid of you if they don't like the color of your socks. And if you've only been there 2-1/2 weeks, it may not be that cut and dry since usually they don't even need to make up a sock reason for not keeping you. Hopefully your next...

    That would depend on where the Starbucks is and where their tables are set up. I believe all of California does not allow smoking within 25 feet of a doorway. And Starbucks as a company apparently includes vaping in the same category as smoking, so whatever rules they choose to apply- and they...

    Vaping...More harm then good? For me yes...Im done!!!!!!

    Could someone please confirm this for me...send me a link to the page of at least one asthma inhaler that contains PG. I have checked ProAir, generic albuterol, Ventolin, Symbicort, Spiriva, and Advair, and not a one contains PG. Yet everybody keeps repeating that PG is in these inhalers. I...

    I notice that the Boston study does not make any mention of the flavorings, and I think that's where the danger is going to lie. But it is a good start; hopefully someone will eventually take it that step further and look at everything.

    To all my ecf brothers and sisters.....please read.

    My pulmonologist had a completely different reaction, so I don't know if it's a matter of battling specialists. Mine took issue specifically with some of the ingredients in the flavoring, and took even more issue in the fact that there were a lot more in them that I did not know of...

    Do you have the actual article? All that this is one physicians summary that it shows promise, clearly states he can't declare them absolutely safe. It does mention some of the carcinogens being lower level than in cigarettes, but it doesn't mention chemicals that can cause damage other than...

    Could you please point me to some of those sources? I've gone through all my asthma medicine and can't find PG in any of it, and between my daughter's and mine and various prescriptions through the years, I've got 5 different inhalers sitting here. And also, just to be clear, nobody knows...

    anyone else have shortness of breath?

    Around 4 years ago as part of a routine physical as a smoker they ordered a CT scan and pulmonary function studies which showed signs of early COPD. In the interim, I have lost my insurance so I have somewhat tied my physician's hands in the sense that I can't afford to do any studies; $125 an...

    anyone else have shortness of breath?

    I'm a bit disheartened that you've gotten no better after a year. I had some shortness of breath related to smoking but it was work-aroundable. Switched to vaping and in two weeks felt great. About a month after that, switched to a different juice vendor and started deteriorating almost...

    anyone else have shortness of breath?

    Could you please provide confirmation on this? I have heard it stated repeatedly but I have been unable to find any of the respiratory inhalers or nebulizer solution that have PG in them. Some may have in the past, but there also used to be asbestos in all sorts of things until it was...

    Analog look-alikes

    I am not sure exactly why you have appointed yourself the definitive voice on all things vaping. The fact that I was able to quit cigarettes and now vaping without variable voltage and high voltage confirms that your self-declared expert opinion is still merely an opinion, valid for you but...

    Analog look-alikes

    I guess it depends on how much of an inconvenience something is to you. I was a 2 pack/day smoker, started with Riva/eGos and from there a big battery mod, but ended up after a couple of months going with the automatic KR808. It was a great size and with their Wow carts gave me a great cloud...

    Japan crisis

    Yoplait does their fundraising for breast cancer in conjunction with the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. There is a big difference between making donations through a soup company or a yogurt company in conjunction with an charitable organization filing documents with the IRS and handing...

    Japan crisis

    It is worth pointing out that when Safeway or other companies do a fundraiser for a "cause", it is always in conjunction with a known charity, with the charity on scene or providing their information so that the donors know where their money is going. So it is unnecessary to video anyone at...

    Is steeping an urban legend?

    I still hold to my theory that if after months there is that much of a change in flavor, the perceived improvement is actually the flavoring degenerating out of it. I think to do a truly accurate trial, you'd need a vendor or a really good juice mixologist to mix up several batches of a...

    Vaping...More harm then good? For me yes...Im done!!!!!!

    It goes from bad to worse. So now, not just have people suggested that it is related to past cigarette use, we now have a doctor poster diagnosing the OP with a DSM-IV psychiatric disorder. By the criteria you self-proclaimed medical experts have set up, it will be difficult if not...
