Air Force Surgeon General lays ground work for AF ban

[vailgal]

I just wonder who the actual puppeteer of the FDA is, concerned citizen/lobbyist or big tobacco. With the seemingly lack of comprehensive research and conclusive findings. One has to question it.

20 years usaf, they ban anything "questionable" by FDA or Surgeon General, until such research and complete legalization, they will continue the assault to "warn airmen" of the dangers! Of course warning of the dangers of BULLETS being shot at you also carries some risk, thats ok because it falls under the title of "Defending Your Nation" and you must do this, Oh, and dont "CURSE" while you do it, as that is also frowned upon! does "hypocritically stupid" even begin to describe military logic in regards to regulations?

E-cigarette users suffer from potentially serious symptoms including racing pulse, dizziness, slurred speech, mouth ulcers, heartburn, coughing, ........ and sore throat, the FDA says.

And the FDA's point would be?? Compare e-cigarette side effects to other products that contains nicotine:

Mouth/teeth/jaw problems, headache, heartburn, sweating, or ........ may occur. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, stop using this medication and tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Common nicotine withdrawal symptoms can occur when you stop smoking and include dizziness, anxiety, depression, or trouble sleeping, among others.

Chewing the gum too fast can cause lightheadedness, dizziness, hiccups, nausea, vomiting, or trouble sleeping. If these effects occur, chew the gum more slowly.

If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Serious side effects are more likely if you continue to smoke while using this product. Do not smoke while you are using this medication.

Stop using this medication and tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: severe dizziness, mental/mood changes (e.g., irritability, trouble sleeping, vivid dreams), numbness/tingling in hands/feet, swelling hands/ankles/feet.

Stop using this medication and seek immediate medical attention if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: chest pain, confusion, severe headache, fast/irregular/pounding heartbeat, slurred speech, weakness on one side of the body.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), trouble breathing.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Now, what were those side-effects of inhaling smoke again? Weren't they something like COPD, asthma, chronic bronchitis, heart attack, stroke, and cancer of the lungs, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, bladder, stomach, cervix, kidney and pancreas?

I don't get any of those symptoms from vaping. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

Same here. But, I had most of those symptoms when I smoked.
