He didn't even do that, all he was sorry for was using bad language to insult us. Insulting us was OK in his view as long as he was polite. Ashton's back at his desk this morning by the way, seems a week is long enough suspension for a minor infraction like calling people c**ts. Old boys club...

The WHO have released their position on Ecigs. Not a good read, not as bad as it could have been. Struck me as the WHO being around 18 months behind the rest of the tobacco control industry. I'm not counting Glantz and the rest of the ANTZ, even this document is ahead of them. Main points are...

I don't doubt that, I think the support you get from fellow vapers is important in helping the switch. In fact I often wonder if like the nrt vaping works better because of the support. We now that nrt fails 9 out of 10 times if used without professional help, it claims to be better with this...

FUD, Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. It a common tactic of companies, well some, to attack their competition by creating FUD. IBM and Microsoft both employed this tactic, most political campaigns are based on FUD. Yes it underhand and dishonest but business is business and it's a crime only if you...

Course it's a choice, a choice that has the risk of addiction. But then again you can also choose to end the addiction. The difference is with ecigs we have the choice to continue the addiction without the risk being so high. Yes I understand that not everyone can or wants to end the addiction...

Refusing to employ someone for what they do in their own time is not just going too far, it's borderline discrimination. Unless they are breaking the rules at work, that's stepping into my private life just as much as if they said they wouldn't employ people living together without being married.

I know theirs a pond difference when using the word liberal but I don't think it nannying or a power trip, I think it's part of the liberal mindset. Being liberal means wanting individual autonomy place front and centre in priorities. To get this for the little guy means restricting the power of...

Yes, I think that's the point of the study. To ascertain the interest in the market for manufactures and vendors as much as consumer interest. I don't think they were looking at ecigs or juice in itself as much as examining the market. This is why this study is interesting, it shows the 'gold...

Article has no link to the actual study. Just to show how easy it is to do I'll put a link here, hopefully someone from the WP will see this and learn how to do it. http://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/23/suppl_3/iii3.full Now if you read the actual study youll find it's quit a good study. It...

I think what their looking for is a profile of current smokers, age, ethnicity and socio-economic bracket. I don't think this is about ecigs, though I suspect they will spin it somehow. It seems to be a simple profiling exercise. I would love to see the rest of the questionnaire and judge if...

I'm guessing it something to do with this story;BBC News - Food should be regulated like tobacco, say campaigners Doubt I need to break that link, no junk science as no science at all evident here. It's an example of the slippery slope argument proving true. First the came for the smokers...

Asked to pass this on here by one of the EFVI UK peeps. The last run of boxes has proved successfully so it worth supporting. "We have been working hard behind the scenes for a while now, to try and come up with an idea to fund the next batch of Dodo boxes. We've currently run out of the first...

See this is how de normalization works. We are trained to be 'sensitive' to the appearance of smoke. We get uneasy if we see what appears to be smoke. It works so well that when we see what we know isn't smoke we get uneasy. Fup that! I vape anywhere I used to smoke. I'm old enough to have lived...

As I commented 81% of respondents are smarter than the reporters. I mean ecigs are safer than smoking so it's the other 19% who don't know this that I would be concerned about, did they take up vaping because it was more dangerious than smoking? Or because they didn't care either way? Half of...

Good points by the blogger. All of which we as former smokers can now relate to. I wonder if we were smokers would we be as much in agreement, I remember when I smoked I really liked the taste of tobacco, has gotten so accustomed to the accompanying taste of smoke I hardly noticed it. Now I...

The thing is why didn't they consider these umpteen studies showing vaping is safe? Instead they ignored them and will continue to do so no mater how many studies show any product is safe. see below as to why. The drawback is proving that not only is a product safe in itself but that it has...

The thing is this regulation isn't designed to take away our ecigs, well maybe some of them, it's designed to stop further uptake of ecigs.

What struck me was the date for products to become subject to this regulation 15 feb 2007. I don't think any ecig was already on the market then so every vapor product will have to apply for aproval once this comes into effect. Their is mention of a long lead in for ecigs maybe longer than the...

FYP I obviously don't agree that we are doing anything wrong by vaping where smoking is prohibited as we are NOT smoking.

This study maks no difference anyway, their minds are set against ecigs. If they were not a study like this would make them go, "send this guy some money, we need to know what makes these new fanged things work so well!" Instead they will say "send Stan and Pru some money, we need a study to...
