Leaford, you and anyone else can post it where-ever you like. The internet is an open medium. I couldn't stop you from posting a link even if I wanted to. I'm delighted you have it on your blog - and what kind words too!
edit: You're right leaf, I did miss those. gonna add them now.

Also, on the list of symptoms you attribute to e-smoking, instead of one list, then just asking if they were persistent, I would make more clear whether they were short term temporary symptoms, recurring symptoms of short duration, or persistent long term symptoms. I would suggest repeating the list three times, once for each, so we can seperate which symptoms appear to have which patttern of occurance rather than lumping them all together.
Great job on the survey! I took it and it was nicely done. I agree with Leaford. This could be used as evidence in our fight against the FDA and Big Govt.
That seems quite a big thing to change at this stage maybe and I'm not totally sure I understand what you mean I'm afraid.
I can say this though - the data is available in a spread sheet form also where each user's info is laid out individually, so depending on what symptoms they checked, you can see if they persisted etc in their case if that's what you're after. I guess I could do up a graph with this data showing which symptoms persisted and which didn't.

Sorry if I seem like I'm hammering on nitpicks. I just want to make suggestions for improvement; if not now, in future versions of the survey.
Nice survey...I just completed it. The last question, "If you have switched to using electronic cigarettes in place of smoking tobacco products, do you think it is likely that you will return to smoking tobacco products in the future?", I presumed that these devices would be LEGALLY available to me in the future. If these devices were to become unable to obtain, I would most certainly go back to tobacco cigs.
I mean, Just asking if they are persistent isn't breaking it down enough and could give dangerously wrong impressions.
So, ask Have you experienced temporary one time occurances of the following symptoms, and give the full list, thenm ask have you ever had recurring short term occurances of the full list, then if they've had long term persistant occurances.
Some symptoms may be temporary, some might come and go, some might go on and on. If a lot of people get headaches, it makes a big difference if they are rare, like if you vape too much, or frequent and long term like whenever you vape. We should make those differences clear to avoid giving the impression that minor occasional problems are common and frequent, not just whether they are persistant. IMO.
And of course, maybe just file it for the next edition.
Hi Steampunk - I have in the additional info beneath that question :
I think that makes it clear hopefully.
Leaf, no worries about nitpicking, I need nitpicking. just I'm not totally getting what you mean and it seems a bit of a big thing. what do you think of my suggestion in the previous post which I edited? Does that come any way to solving the issue?

I think I understand you clearer now. It does seem like a bit of a big thing at this stage. What I did was list the symptoms and then ask if they were generally temporary etc, but you are right I didn't break it down and go into as much detail as I could have. Definitely next time, I'll take that on board. As each submitted survey stands on its own in the spread sheet and a new graph can be made with this data, I hope that will go some way to getting what your after.

The point is that you just ask that question once per user for all the symptoms, but some symptoms may be persistent, while others are not.
Right, exactly. This survey CAN'T be a one time deal. Not if we really want these to succeed.
Damn, how can I go back and look at the results without taking the test, er um I mean, survey, again?
I can PM you the URL again if you have closed that tab/window. The only reason I'm not posting it openly right now is that if people see the results first, it might skew their answers and it gives people an incentive for taking the test 8-o I mean survey 
too
I will post the URL for the results page though once I have a decent amount of submitted surveys

Fascinating survey, and well worth the time it took me to fill out. Thanks for putting it together.
