Cattaraugus County, NY Health Department proposes e-cig indoor use ban

[Johnny2puffs]

I can understand the concern of your Health Depts as to the decreased revenue in taxes as the use of ecigs is escalating but do not agree with their excuses. This is not all to do with MONEY.
I also understand the concern as to health as we all know that some products from the East have had deaths occurring due to illicit and cheaper ingredients used.
The eliquide must be regulated and tested by authorities before it can be distributed into your country. Or any country for that matter. This is my primary concern. As an avid ecig vaper, I would want this liquid regulated.
Imagine thousands dying from contaminated ecig jouce from China.
Hence it must be regulated as are normal cigarettes.

What possible contaminant could be deadly in the small quantities of liquid used in vaporizers? Even an extremely heavy vaper uses less than a few teaspoons of e-liquid per day, even if the liquid was contaminated it would be nearly impossible to get a lethal dose.

I understand a bit of paranoia about things made in foreign lands that have not had a perfect quality record, but don't let that put things out of perspective: The FDA found "about 1%" contamination in one out of 18 cartridges they tested (how did they know to look for DEG? Because non food-grade PG is only 99% pure) and the so-called "carcinogens" they detected were measured in the parts per BILLION....and all that is before you dilute it with more than 10,000 parts AIR by vaporizing it instead of lighting tobacco on fire and inhaling smoke.

Thousands of people dying??? To date there have been exactly zero reports of death or serious injuries caused by e-cigarette use...probably because no one has even suggested how it is POSSIBLE for a e-cigarette use to kill or seriously injure someone. Prohibitionists like to pepper their rants with words like "carcinogens" "poisons" and "antifreeze", but these things are in the air we breath and the food we eat and the beverages we drink every day. The DOSE makes the poison. E-cig cartridges contain about as much nicotine as a cigarette, but because most of it is not lost to combustion and sidestream smoke, one cartridge can replace multiple cigarettes.

Not everything is so black or white. There are countless shades of grey in between.

Have you ever seen a list of what is in cigarettes?

I'll take my vapor without arsenic, cyanide, and formaldehyde, thank you very much.
And that is just a fraction of what you'll find in a cigarette.

OK. I get your point. I was worried about this for some time. Thank you.
