    Dimwits in Congress...

    It is indeed simply rolling vaping products into the PACT act which passed in 2010. I am all to familiar with it as I order snus from Sweden. The PACT act makes it a big hassle to order snus online as it raised the price considerable. International UPS shipping is expensive and the required...

    FDA The Vuse application for PMTA

    "The FDA’s premarket application process requires tobacco manufacturers provide not only information on the composition, design and manufacturing process, but also chemistry, toxicological and behavioral studies that demonstrate the product − when used − is appropriate for the protection of the...

    Trying to stop skoal

    Zyn does have nicotine but no tobacco. I believe they use nicotine salts. It is used like snus and the nicotine is absorbed via the mucus membrane like all the oral smokeless tobacco products. Another product is "ON". It is very similar to Zyn and also uses nicotine salts. There are some...

    Trying to stop skoal

    No problems. There are lots of good alternatives out there. No one way is inherently better than another as they are all very low risk compared to inhaling smoke from cigarettes. The trick is finding something that works for you.

    Trying to stop skoal

    I am a bit late to the party but I do have a few suggestions and questions. The biggest question is why do you feel you must quit smokeless tobacco? Most people are grossly misinformed about the risk of American style smokeless tobacco. Smokeless tobacco has very low risk at least comparable to...

    PACT act and electronic cigarettes

    It is questionable as too if big tobacco is involved as I have never seen any evidence of it with the original PACT act. This is more the work of the tobacco control industry. The problem with this bill (besides just being a very bad bill for anyone who orders on line) is that many vape shops...

    PACT act and electronic cigarettes

    This bill would roll vaping products into the PACT act. Many in the vaping community are probably not familiar with the PACT act. I am all too familiar with it as it hit snus users in the US in 2010. The PACT act put restrictions on shipping for cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. Among a few of...

    What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

    Damn, this thread is still kind of kicking the can down the road.... pretty much like me. Thought you folks might be interested in this one. The long time snus users on this thread might remember the glory days of pre-PACT act. Ahh..... those where the days. Guess what folks..... its back to...

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    I have a very recent model and I can assure you it is more then just some early inconsistencies. My top has definite leakage. I also noticed it is fairly easily bumped out of center as it doesn't appear to click into place. It is simply a compromised design decision. They could have gone with a...

    Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis

    I to get some leaking from the top (along with leaking from the bottom when it is laid on the side). It is pretty much a design flaw. They tried to make it as easy to use as possible for a rebuildable so we have the sliding top fill. It is a weak point that is prone to leaking if not perfectly...

    Can't believe it, I think cigarettes are the WORST thing ever now...

    I read through this thread with amusing interest, and then I came across this post..... which is so completely full of lies and misdirection you should get a job in the tobacco control industry. It really is where you belong. First off, all forms of western smokeless tobacco (Those from Sweden...

    Hello, and a thanks!

    Looking at population studies, your oral health problems are not at all the norm. Something that makes me question your issues is you mentioned that Swedish snus gave you problems. I have been in touch with many long time snus users, and there has been zero oral health problems. Studies out of...

    Hello, and a thanks!

    Why would SK not be around? Smokeless tobacco has at least as low of a risk factor as vaping. It is fine if it is simply a personal preference, but there is no health gains by switching from smokeless tobacco to vaping.

    FDA rule change could push smokers to vaping

    It is not just a bad idea, it is pretty much completely loony tunes to believe it would work. All it will do is create a huge black market and then cigarettes will be completely unregulated, just as what happened during prohibition. There are much simpler solutions. The easiest and most...
