E-cigs' liquid nicotine causing poisonings - CNN.com

It is just a piece making its round on all the major news nets. They are too lazy to do their own reporting so they all grab onto the piece of the day.

"Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, told Hamburg that the agency's delays were "disgraceful" since makers of products such as tutti-frutti flavored e-cigarettes and strawberry-flavored cigars have "an insidious strategy to addict our children to nicotine.""

E-cigarette rule coming 'very soon,' U.S. FDA chief says | Fox News


Disgraceful.... man don't you love politicians... We got our children posting pics of themselves in their undies to get their 15 minutes to last 30 minutes.... Yet... this is taking to long. I don;t even want to bring up Obamacare... I wonder if Malarky will speak about that.

Speak about what?

There's gotta be kids getting their grubby little hands on the fruity flavored Nicorette lozenges but I never seem to hear about that.

Yep, news isn't about the facts anymore.

so more people are calling poison control, probably because more people are reading articles meant to make them afraid of nicotine solution. what the article doesn't mention is the percentage of the calls that were actually warranted, or how many people called out of fear but actually had no illness.

And hats off the to the freakin moronic mother who waits til after her kid gets a hold of it to move it up and out of her kid's reach. God help us I hope she has no alcohol or heavy duty narcotics in the house.....

I just had a little bit of a debate at the grocery store when I ran up there real quick for lunch. My daughter ran into the store real quick so I'm sitting in my car having a vape. This lady starts putting her groceries in the car next to mine. She thought I was consuming illegal substances so I politely educated her and she had to bring up kids getting a hold of the eliquid. She had a kid with her who looked to be about 13-15 years old. I smiled sweetly and pointed to her Cool Whip can and warned to get it out of precious' reach so there would be no risk of him huffing it.......

Needless to say that pretty much shut her up.....

Like I just said over on the other thread "Wonder if the ANTZ got sore fingers making all those calls to the CDC"

Yes, and let us not forget gummy bear vitamins and now antacids. Yes, you can OD on vitamins... Good grief....

Oh you gotta be kidding me. Ok so most us on here were cig smokers before vapors. So we put down the horrible, evil analog cigs and pick up a vapor and some ejuice.
Let's analyze that for a sec. Is it healthy? No it's not. Is it better than an analog? Yes, exponentially better. Is if harmful to bystanders? Probably not(although ok scientific evidence Is conclusive). Is it better to bystanders than analog? Yes definitely.
So what do we do? Make it out to be equivalent to smoking {OTHER STUFF} in the middle of a busy shopping mall!
Goodness gracious I hate the media
