    Good video. While it's entirely possible there are 'invisible' (by this method) 'poisons', this is a *good* Joe Public image. Take a snapshot and circle 'e-cig' and 'normal cig' blown through, and mail that image along with any/all correspondence with the FDA, government, etc.

    Maybe that *will* jar some brain cells loose in our government(s).

    The sad fact remains that even if the ultimate truth reared up and bit them in the ..., it would still not change the current state of affairs with e-cigs.

    It's all about the money, not about the truth.

    Loved the video! I quit analogs when the last tax hit May 2009. Wasn't the easiest thing I have ever done. Sometimes I think I would love to just buy a pack and smoke till their gone! Seeing the video reminds me why I quit. Thanks!!

    If my video can keep at least ONE off the analogs, it was totally worth making. :)

    This is my first post although I have sought a lot of answers through the postings of others. What motivated me to post is that my Npro atomizer quit and while I am waiting for a replacement, I picked up a pack of my old cigs (B & H lights). I had my first one about an hour ago and I still feel sick. My palms are sweaty, my stomach hurts and I just feel pretty icky all over. I hope the mail brings my atomizer soon! I don't know how many more analogs I can survive. The gov must want their taxes, because banning e cigs will not make me healthier.

    It's not the e-cigs doing that. That's your body turning into a non-smoker. I felt like crap for a bit after quitting analogs too, but that feeling went away and now I feel so much better. :thumb:

    Love the video dude! and some nice facts stepped in there about PG as well. Sadly in the eyes of the FDA and the government at large, its not about the common sense of it being not as bad as real cigs, or about it being an alternative to smoking real cigaretes. It has absolutely everything to do with control. There's nothing the government or the FDA likes that they don't have control over. Reminds me of an old saying "Don't steal, the government hates the competition".

    Sad fact, but true. And people let the government get away with this.

    The USSA is reduced to an impotent benevolent dictatorship in which China owns a good share of. I'd love to see China tell the US to go .... itself and embargo our asses. That should be fun to watch.

    Sad. All those people that died during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc, died for this sh*t.

    More people in this country worry more about who wins American Idol or what happens to Michael Jacksons corpse than what is actually happening around them. Govt loves this sh*t.

    Big Jim, I remember my Dad doing this when I was young. He first took a drag, inhaled, and blew it though his white t-shirt. Then, he took a drag, didn't inhale, and blew it through his t-shirt right next to the other brown spot. It was much much darker. The difference in color intensity was really obvious. The brown stain from him inhaling was much lighter then the stain from where he didn't inhale. He then said that what wasn't present in the lighter stain was still in his lungs and that I shouldn't smoke. I remember showing this to my sons when they were young too, since I didn't take my Dad's advice. My sons, who are now 24 and 31, don't smoke!

    And what he said was 100% true. The lighter stain was from him inhaling it. What was trapped was in his lungs.

    I blew into the paper towel without inhaling. (I'd gag if I did) If you want to see an even bolder brown stain, try it with a no filter cigarette. I may make an updated video using an analog with no filter to actually see for yourself the horrid crap that gets sucked into the lungs. It's nasty.
