I'm in the center of the debate about e-cigs & the proposed ban in Indianapolis. Tomorrow I'm going to Indy Vapor shop to have my photo taken for a big article being written about e-cigs & health for The Indianapolis Star. I did an hour long interview for the reporter yesterday. Please visit the CASAA Call to Action page & send an email to the Indy City Councilman telling them that ecigs don't belong in a smoking ban. Vapor is not smoke! Seriously! I need all of the help I can get!

They didn't vote on it or take public comments. They are planning on doing that at the next meeting. Now is the time to act, while it's still in committee.

CASAA.org

Yep, that's where I was that said 1/9. OK, thanks for the clarification, I will send to all they have listed at the bottom then! :)

Good morning everyone! I thought this was an interesting calculation done by a fellow vapor;) on how much nicotine is actually in certain vegetables ! for all those people who may have an argument about how nicotine is "bad" for you, remind them every time they eat fry's or baked potatoes just what they are taking in!! how awesome is that :) :thumb:



After spending an extraordinarily long time figuring out exactly how much nicotine eggplants contained, I found a proper source and made this page to make Google more helpful in the future. The data is taken from the New England Journal of Medicine vol 329 p437, available here.
Vegetable Nicotine in ng/g g per 1µg nicotine
Cauliflower 16.8 59.5
Eggplant (Aubergine) 100.0 10
Potatoes 7.1 140
Green tomatoes 42.8 23.4
Ripe tomatoes 4.3 233.0
Pureed tomatoes 52.0 19.2
1µg of nicotine is the equivalent of sitting in a vaguely smoke filled room for three hours. A cigarette contains about 7mg of nicotine, of which 1mg is absorbed. In other words, 100g of eggplant contains 0.01mg of nicotine, and 10kg of eggplant is equivalent to one cigarette. However, absorbtion rates from ingestion are low and nicotine is quickly metabolised, so the effect isn't nearly the same.

Morning! I am placing an order and I was wondering if there is any sale or discount code going on right now? I did look back a ways, but I didn't see anything I'd consider "current". Also, there was no code on the site. BTW, on the home page of the VAL site, i see sticky balls shown on the rotating pics, but I can't find where to order it...HELP!

Also, just wanted to say thank you to Aimy, Jon and SassySadie for setting my Mom and Sister up with vaping wares...you guys are awesome! I've been trying to get them started for months! That's another 2 family members that are analog free...now totaling 6 including me! YAY! :D

AG, I'm proud of you for taking such an involved stance! You stand for all of us. I'm sending out a letter today. We have a long road with this battle, but every victory brings us closer to showing the ignorant masses that ecigs are mana from heaven.:angel:

In other news, I heard on the radio this morning that there was a study done on nicotine patches...they do ZERO for helping people quit smoking long term. dur.
