Anyone know a good article to give doctors?

[jeffree]

Just returned from my annual physical, and my doc (well known in town) seemed genuinely pleased, even surprised, that I haven't returned to cigs. Maybe it's my passing the two-year mark, but for the first time, he wanted to know more about vaping and how it might help his other patients who come in reaking of cigs. I take his interest as a positive sign.

I told him I'd send him an article and some V4L cards. I've got plenty of cards, of course, but which article? I'm not sure it has to be a published study, but I need something with a more professional, balanced tone. Anyone happen to have a link to a good intro. to vaping article for doctors and maybe even their patients?

Perhaps you should contact CASAA; I believe they have an "introductory packet" of scientific studies etc.

On a personal level I argue my/our point of view with all of my colleagues (medical students residents and attendings) that I think will have an open ear and not black list me

"Show me the long term ill effects of vaporizing nicotine if you would? Are you aware of the Snus studies in Sweden?" Usually draws a frustrated blank from the nay sayers. And my gf HATES smoking and being a medical student and quite intelligent, has come to refer to what I do as "vaping" and is no longer bothered by it at all And a close doctor friend of mine feels the same about it. (struggled with cigs himself)

But I packet or research would be great!

Jeffree,

You can just about pick any article from:

http://www.tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com/

Yes, I'm still around. Mostly just reading.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

I have had good responses from the medical community here when it comes to ecigs. I used to work in a retail ecig store and the owner actually spoke at a medical conference and was very well received. He put together a packet of info that was to be put in waiting rooms of 27 local physicians offices. Personally, I had a trip to the ER not too long ago and when the doc was gathering info he asked if I smoked and I said "no, but I use nicotine." He asked how I managed that and I told him I used ecigs and he smiled, nodded and said "good."

My wife has mentioned to our D.D.S. and M.D. that I'm now on e-cigs instead of tobacco. Both were very pleased to hear that.

Thanks, everyone. With your help, I decided to send this article to my doc. I like its even tone and broad focus: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/centers-institutes/population-development/files/article.jphp.pdf

The abstract alone says it all. Cheers!

My sleep apnea doctor was very interested in vaping as an alternative for his smoking patients. I think I'll send him that same thing, jeffree.
