Hello fellow Vapers!
I've been thinking about how much better I am going to feel as I continue my transition from analogs to ecigs. After having smoked a pack a day for over 40 years, I am already down to a half a pack a day and I've only been vaping for a little while. This really works!!! If nothing else, I feel better mentally knowing I am doing the right thing by swapping one bad habit for one good habit. Or am I?
How many times in the past even with FDA approval on different medications have the people who were prescibed said medications either died, got very ill or had genetically deformed offspring? Only after the science community contiuned its research on said medication and found out that it did cause severe health issues? This happens all the time, more so when a new drug flies under the FDA radar or some exotic herb from another country is sold in the U.S. to some unsuspecting consumer looking for a fast cure. Afterall the pharmaceutical companies hate the FDA and are eager to get their drug on the market regardless of how it make hurt somebody. It's all about greed.
With the advent of ecigs and especially ejuice, I am relieved at this point in time to not hear of any health risks associated with vaping. It almost seems too good to be true and causes me to wonder why Britain want to ban ejuice. But has the FDA and the vaping industry in general really done sufficient research and testing on e-juice to say with 100% confidence that e-juice is totally harmless? When we purchase a bottle of e-juice do we really know what it contains? Just recently I heard reports that DEG was discovered in e-juice imported from China after several users of the product fell ill. Although I'm not really surprised to hear this given the numerous other health issues associated with different items imported from China since they have very different (low) quality control health standards in their country than the U.S. But sometimes even the U.S. public can get ahead of itself and make huge claims that something we take into our bodies is harmless only to find out later that someone either died or fell ill after consuming it.
I for one would like to know what is in this ejuice. I don't feel comfortable squirting a foriegn substance into my tank and then inhaling it without some piece of mind as to what I am consuming. If I'm not mistaken there are a couple of companies that do provide content labeling on their e-juice bottles and I thank them for that. I am inclined to use their product for at least I am making a more informed decision about the consumption of that product.
So let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Let's hope these vaping companies will decide to do the right thing to protect the health and safety of those who trust them and consume their ejuice. If one company can do it, why can't all companies follow suite? We all want to know that vaping will not cause us any long or short term health issues. I for one would like to see the vaping industry step up to the plate and further that goal by labeling their e-juice and conduct additonal studies as to the possible health effects of vaping could not hurt either. After all we are just fooling ourselves if we think constantly introducing a foriegn substance into our lungs that is not supposed to be there naturally is good for us. We know cigarettes can kill us but how many people died and how many decades went by before the public was really made aware of the bad effects of smoking? It's all about the good ole American dollar over human life and capitalism at its finest.
Let's proceed with caution and encourage companies to be more responsible and do the right thing as much as they can to promote full-disclosure and do more independent studies of e-juice. At some point I predict this e-juice will hurt somebody especially if it contains anti-freeze. Just a thought!
Happy & Safe Vaping!
