BBC video on how SAFE E-Cigarettes are!!!

I've always argued that from an apolitical, pragmatic standpoint polities should be holding vape workshops and distributing starter kits to smokers rather than enacting regulations. In terms of basic economic efficiency, vaping is a win/win/win in terms of ending the economic drag associated with smoking and related health care costs and stimulating small businesses on the local level.

This is a FANTASTIC idea / suggestion.......BINGO!!!!!

That instrument is meant to measure the amount (percentage) of carbon dioxide (CO2) in your blood gasses. You take a deep "cleansing breath", exhale completely, take a second very deep breath and hold it for a number of seconds then blow into the device for as long and as hard as you can. CO2 is a normal product of respiration so the reading would never be zero.

As there is no combustion involved in vaping we aren't taking in all the extra CO2 that we did when we smoked. Where I work we do this voluntary "healthy workplace" event every year where they take your blood pressure, calculate your BMI, do a non-fasting blood cholesterol test - and if you wish, for smokers test your CO2%. As a 2PAD, 40 year smoker, when I blew that exact same test over a year ago my CO2% reading was 44 or 45%. When I did it again after about 9 months of vaping exclusively (I was an "accidental quitter" btw) the reading was 2%.

And insurance companies can't tell the difference between a smoker and a smokefree tobacco/nicotine user why? That appears to be a pretty straight forward, inexpensive testing method.

You are absolutely correct - my bad, mixing up CO and CO2.

I went back to try and edit my post to remove the "2" (and associated descriptor) so as not to spread dis-information, but the edit button doesn't show up. Possibly because the post has been quoted. Please make sure not to replicate my error.

The edit function goes away after 48 hours. Let me know if you'd like it done for you at this point.

Yes please! I absolutely do not want to have someone read and then use the information I provided when it misses the mark, chemically at least, by a single Oxygen molecule!
