Move over NBC, CBS is coming on strong:

(or in case you want to D/L it for your amusement - someone should really do a satire of this, and post it on YT)

It's polyethylene glycol time, folks ("used in antifreeze")

He did get one thing right: nicotine doesn't cause cancer.

That was really awful. Dr Black Sweater just sounded ignorant. Some cancer doctor he is!

Although PEG-400 (polyethylene glycol-400) has, in the past, been used in ecigs (and should be no major dangers in using); for the most part PROPYLENE glycol is used in ecig liquids.

Roger, I love all you find for us. I don't know how you have the time. I do believe though, that you should change your screen name to: Roger Cronkite. Then you could sign off each day with "and that's how it appears today (insert date)".

LOL ... that's a very high compliment, BTW. TYVM!

(Wire services training is top notch. Accuracy matters in journalism just as it does in mathematics, engineering and science.)

A more detailed analysis of this despicable video (which I'm posting right now in a double-day roundup) indicates that CBS put out 11 falsehoods in a mere 132 seconds (12 seconds each). The good Dr. (who is also a USC prof.) appears to be responsible for ten of them.

I suppose USC doesn't like UCSF getting all the credit for slanted opinions.

They don't want them to get all of the BP grant money.

Everyone wants to get in on the act. The stupidity in this country is becoming overwhelming.

I wanted to let everyone know that Cinder Ella at Halo has all but admitted that Halo's e-liquid does in fact contain Ethanol, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 400), Triacetin, and Benzene. I have been demanding to know this information for some time for the health and safety of Halo users but Cinder Ella and Halo continue to divert, deflect, give non answers and close threads when users directly ask these serious questions. Here is a link to the most recent Halo thread where I have directly asked Halo if these types of 'proprietary' ingredients are lurking in the 'Natural & Artificial' Flavoring' ingredients. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/halo/547695-pg-vg.html?highlight=halo

I have repeatedly asked Halo if their product contains PEG 400 as well as Triacetin and Benzene but they continue to hide behind 'N&A Ingredients' giving non-answers, closing threads etc... Customers have a right to know if they are ingesting potentially unsafe chemical ingredients.
