You're very welcome, DC2. :) That interview rattled me to the core, and I remember it well. I emailed her soon thereafter, and here's our brief exchange: Me: And her response: Her last name suits her, I think. :evil: A very sad state of affairs. :(

Is this the one you mean, DC2? http://constantlyfurious.blogspot.com/2009/10/nurse-smokers-just-have-to-die.html (I had an email exchange with Nurse DeVille-Almond over this way back when. Grrrr....)

Glad to hear about the law students, and I certainly hope we can get 90 more comments before the rapidly approaching deadline....

Done (and it worked fine for me in Firefox). :)

So many vapers, after speaking with Dr. Sumner, said they felt truly listened to. I think this article shows that they were. :) It's almost as if he thinks we're actual human beings or something. :blink:

That's a big +1 on the Snowdon book. And the federal judge GMoney is referring to is U.S. District Court Judge William Osteen, who concluded (among other things) that the EPA "publicly committed to a conclusion before research had begun" and "adjusted established procedure and scientific...

Looking forward to hearing the show tonight. Thanks! :)

Well done, Aaron and Jacinda--THANK YOU! :)

I think it took some of us awhile to get to the truth. I know that when I started vaping, I was still buying into a lot of the anti-smoker propaganda (including the lies about secondhand smoke), and I'm guilty of having spouted some of it. I truly, deeply regret that. I was ignorant and...

I love Michael McFadden. To anybody who hasn't read "Dissecting Antismokers' Brains," buy it today! It provides incredible insight into what motivates antismokers to do ... what they do. :blink: McFadden posts frequently around the Internet, and I've never seen him be anything less than as...

Thank you, sherid, for the posts. It took me awhile--a lot of reading, a lot digging, a lot of reassessing much of what I long held to be true--but my conclusion is in alignment with yours. If we underestimate the lengths to which these zealots are willing to go to achieve their goals, we will...

Yes, yes, and yes again. It can take a while to see it (at least it did for me), but everything sherid wrote is the truth. The anti-smokers created this situation--one where the very appearance of smoking (as in, outside, in the open air) is something "decent" people should be protected from...

I join you, Yolanda! :) ACM, don't forget that last year, they tried to ban sales in California, Illinois, Utah, Maryland, and New York. None succeeded. The lobbyists pushing this legislation might have a lot of power and money behind them, but they don't have the truth, reason, or right...

Here's how I handled the out-of-state issue: Subject: Please vote NO on A01468 (electronic cigarettes)! Dear Assemblymember _________, I'm very disheartened to hear of the bill that would ban the sale of electronic cigarettes in New York. I switched to an electronic cigarette almost two years...

In addition to writing letters to our representatives (imperative--and thanks, Elaine!), I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to contact Congressman Darrell Issa, the new chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The FDA is on Issa's "hit list," and I've read at least...

I agree it would have been nice to see more coverage of this (the front page of the NY Times would have been nice!). I found it in a few places: E- ciggies much safer than real ones: Study Electronic cigarettes much safer than real cigarettes, says BUSPH researcher E- ciggies much safer...

My thoughts exactly, Elaine. The only answer I can come up with is that we can't tell. Interesting reading: Here's the link: Survey: FDA Scientists (2006) | Union of Concerned Scientists While there's been a change of administration since this survey was conducted, I'm not at all...

Maybe this is part of the reason e-cigarettes scare tobacco control people so much. As smokers, many (most...) of us accepted what we were told. The organizations doing the telling were, after all, long held sacred. (The American Heart Association? Who'd have thought they were liars? Much less...

Thanks much, D103. It keeps me sane knowing I'm not the only one reading this ... madness. :blink:
