Point taken and I agree. :-)

Thank you Csardaz, you've made some very fine points. The focus should be the fight to keep our products available and not the petty grievances of a war of words between researchers. I know the people on this forum will generously donate to a cause deemed worthy in that effort. I'm not defending...

Excerpt: "Indeed, I described the situation to researcher colleagues outside the e-cigarette community and they agreed. None of us could put our finger on a per se ethical violation (though depending on the exact rules at Boston University, there might be one), but we all agreed it felt very...

Thank you for the replies. Let me clarify my position. The word "scammer", as it pertains to funding, is an inflammatory word that elicits a negative association. Back-peddling via assurances the party is probably not a "scammer" does little to ameliorate this association. If I want to warn a...

Respectfully, even if this is not a CASAA statement, linking to content that contains the word "scammer" seems inappropriate. :2c:

Hi Kate, I can only assume since big pharma has vested interests in the outcome of this case that their lobbyists and FDA "consultants" are dancing in the streets! The act appears premature unless the FDA is privey to info we don't have. The FDA is establishing their case of tobacco smoking...

Such bad news!

I have all of the versions of the stick and have never encountered a problem with charging via USB. If you post in the Jantyworld link under suppliers I'm sure mik or Eric could help you out. Have you tried plugging the usb cable into the wall charging unit? If the cable works via the wall...

V.....a/Sativa/...... claims by Banzhaf New claims against the dangers of e-cigs: "Potent" ......... Now Available in E-Cigarettes, Warns ASH Excerpt: "If manufacturers -- or even users, since some fill the e-cigarette cartridges themselves -- are already adding not only nicotine but also...

Completed both surveys, thanks Kristin and SJ!

Thank you for all you do VocaleK! :) This is what I posted to the comment section: The smoking alternative, referred to as an e-cigarette, has an inherent value of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked by individuals who use tobacco products. This benefit alone would justify the smoking...

Regarding the FDA petition... this is what I posted: The smoking alternative, referred to as an e-cigarette, has an inherent value of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked by individuals who use tobacco products. This benefit alone would justify the smoking alternative as a product that is...

Thank you Sun! :)

Thanks for the reply Janetda, I thought the info was important because it gives us insight into what our enemies are thinking. The PV has grown by leaps and bounds this last year and have managed to clean up most of the "health claims" that got us in hot water, but even the low tar claims are...

The tobacco control journal has an article citing various suppliers in their footnotes....mostly regarding claims made that are "unsubstantiated" and need more research. Most claims by suppliers seem to have been gathered from their websites. Electronic nicotine delivery systems: emerging...

Please excuse and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the "reduced harm" risk product a part of the HR1256 tobacco bill as it applies to a "safer" tobacco product? Thus to be a "reduced harm" tobacco product...the PV must first be classified as a tobacco product. Or are we abandoning this...

Beautiful work as usual! :)

Make it, I'll buy it!

I agree, the PV is an smoking alternative and it's full potential has yet to be realized. But I suspect that terminology is clouding the issue. For instance: Current NRT products are lifting their "cessation" only instructions and going towards the alternative usage "in places where you can't...

These are the pertinent facts as I see them but please advise me if I'm way off base: E-cigs were put on the market and avoided FDA pre-marketing approval based on the stance the PV was NOT a combo drug/medical device (nicotine delivery device) and as such didn't need pre-approval...
