    Vaping in public - where should people draw the line?

    1. Absolutely. Always a great conversation starter to hopefully get another smoker to switch. My only concern is that if I hang around smokers enough I will end up joining them and regreting it. 2. Yep - not smoking so no problems there ;) 3. Bus, train, taxi - just stealth! 4. See above...

    CALLING ALL VENDORS :D With less than 3 weeks until Melbourne VapeFest something occured to me today. I've been in contact with quite a few Aussie vendors so far, but I'm sure I've missed people in all the craziness. I'd like to make a extend a "formal" invitation to all Australian vendors to...

    New ACSH publication - Helping Smokers Quit: The Science Behind Tobacco Harm Reduction

    It's impossible to prove a negative and it's in the best interests of tobacco companies to say their product causes cancer. By admiting it up front it reduces their liability (although with the MSA in America they don't really have much liability left). If they DIDN'T say that, and smokeless...

    New ACSH publication - Helping Smokers Quit: The Science Behind Tobacco Harm Reduction

    The anti smoking Nazis strike again,

    Unfortunately they don't seem to need to justify it as the level of science education amongst the general public is so bad people just swallow any crap they throw out there. "No Safe Level of Tobacco Smoke Exposure?" - Pure BS. There may be no KNOWN safe level, but every chemical on the public...
