Vaping and smoking are not very different things. Both involve a decision to ingest nicotine in any way we can.
And I respect your point of view, all i know is that i FEEL smoke of any kind, not just from tobacco is wrong, my body tell me this, so i don't want smoke everywhere specially where is children aroud.
For me are two very different things, maybe due to my type of adiction, i can be fine just vaping without nicotine, non regular cigarette can give that.
I've only suggested to read exactly what FORCES is.
This product already exists. It is called nicotine inhaler, clinically tested, completety safe, not made in China at all and sold in any good pharmacy for some $45. Good luck.
Yeah, I know, but it taste like ship!
Riddle80: Regretfully, I don't think organization will accomplish anything. Not worth the effort. Only someone of Dr. Laugesen's stature can argue on behalf of battery-powered nicotine inhalers.
Better doing this than nothing or step aside, all we want is to "centralize" info about studies and sources of information.
Using this devices without nicotine is valid, they give to regular smokers something that other devices can't, the visual and motion feeling of smoking, so i know this gonna be controvertial but name this as a "electronic nicotine inhaler" isn't accurate either, if it can be used without nicotine, beside using the word "nicotine" will freak out a lot of people, just like name it "e-cigarette" was a bad idea, a lot of user can use it in combination with clinically tested nicotine delivery systems such as patches, gum or nicotine inhalers please read:
Fake Cigarette E-Z Quit Inc's Smokeless Artificial Cigarette
When you inhale through an ArtificialCigarette, you replicate the actions of smoking, but without inhaling deadly smoke. The cartridge releases a mint-like flavor which refreshes your mouth and makes your lungs register the inhalation. Reaching for an ArtificialCigarette is as easy as reaching for a cigarette. Holding and handling an ArtificialCigarette keeps your hands occupied as if with a cigarette. This helps reduce your feelings of deprivation.
I'm not sure we have a very convincing argument that vaping is healthy with the nicotine factored in there though. That's the thing. We've switched delivery methods and perhaps it's healthier but we're still addicted to a substance that I think most would assume is unhealthy. And if we're wanting to do it in public with little devices that look like cigarettes, in front of children who might think it looks cool, we're doomed. I've seen plenty of comments here from adults saying they thought the e-cig sounded/looked/seemed "cool." But, that aside,I hope you are vocal about your needs on this project here because I would love to help. I read your post earlier but I just have no idea how to go about it. If you guys get some basic ideas going and want input, I'd be all over that, so please keep this community posted!
I don't mean to sound like Debbie Downer with my thoughts on the anti crowd, but having "hidden" from a few for years now, I just have a viewpoint based on my personal experience. However, I say we go for whoever, everyone, everywhere. We sure can't lose by trying! I think any idea is a good one at this point.
You are right, the cool toy-cigarette look, name and misinformation about this devices is causing the bans, the goverments don't want us to "smoke" anything, because it could be attractive again, we need a totally diferent scope on this, is very probable that big tobacco or big pharma companies jump into the business but we as user or potential users need to be well informed on any aspect of this and for that we need pro-active people like you,
riddle80 can explain you more than i do due to my really limited english.
