Of course it is actually no more relevant than a discussion of caffeinated vs decaf coffee drinking.At the AEI conference on participant said 70% which reflects my own observations at a local shop where I have hung out for hours on many occasions.

Tofu.
Yeah the 95% number is meaningless and based on pretty bad science. I can't find the study they used to reach that number, but it's there. Carl Philips in one of his earlier blog posts, tears apart that study, if you care to search for it in his site. Here's his latest blog post about the 95% number :
Saying e-cigarettes are “95% less harmful” is a very bad idea (part 143 of 10,000)
Your position implies there is something equally terrible with vaping. I don't take that position.
Hey, I like most of that stuff too. My point is, saying he is promoting vaping to minors because of the posters on his wall is about as valid as saying any label is targeting minors. In other words, both are equally invalid.What about the KISS poster? Kids AND old people like them...
EDIT: I'm 49 and a Star Wars fan. Have all the DVD's. Saw the first movie in 1977 when I was Ten. My Grandfather took me. He used to take me to James Bond movies, too. So there.
There ya have it! Your line. Now, we don't all share the same line cause we're all different people with different points of reference. All good, we're still a community with a common interest and goal...save vaping.
smh.... every time i put a 'face' on the FDA,, its Hitlers.... i promise you if i ever hear of radical event targeting the FDA.. i wont care. our forefathers are rolling over in their graves about how aMerica has changed from original inception/creation.29 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes (9.3%). Compare to about 9 million diagnosed with COPD. Which is the more serious problem????
Yet the FDA does not even set a recommended daily intake of sugar and its labeling mandates suggest 6 servings of soft drinks per day will satisfy all your carbohydrate requirements....
DC2 brought up the only potential harm we've identified so far
How about the fda just bans the children?![]()
True."Indentified" is too strong - "talked about" is more factual. No instances of B.O. in smokers - as Dr. F has said. I know that he said more than that, but Pierce's study makes it abundantly clear to anyone who followed that line of argument back and forth with Pierce winning out.
I think that when Less say that he draws HIS line with the parents, another way that could be taken is that he considers the line to be your line, where you choose to draw it.
If 10 out of 10 parents choose not to let their children vape, we have exactly the same result as an "age-restriction" would create. But, what if only 9 out of 10 parents do? Then what does that change for you and your child?
The wife and I don't have children yet, but we hope to soon. Should that day come, I don't think I will ever feed my child McDonalds. Should we have a girl, she will not be having factory-raised chicken, or commercial beef/dairy products.
I can effect that. We grow 50% of our food at home, and 90% of what we do but is in ingredient form. I've read up on the effects of modern hormone-based livestock rearing, and I would not be able to sleep at night knowing that I put that stuff in to my daughter's forming body out of a matter of convenience.
That said, do we, based on my feelings, need age-restrictions on fast and processed foods? Or do I just need to do what I think best for my children, and leave you to do best for yours?
Should I catch my son smoking, the whooping will ensue. Should his high-school teacher call me because she caught him sneaking a pouch of snus before his mid-terms, and he articulates to me that he has read up on the benefits of nicotine and went into it with eyes open, then, well, the wife and I are going to have a talk...and then Jr. and I are going to have a talk.
Your suggesting that the line belongs anywhere other than with the parents, and the parents alone, is the same as saying the wife and I need to bring you in on our discussion about how we're going to deal with jr's nicotine-pouch incident.
Would you let your 17 year old have a cup of coffee before his big exam? Do I get a say in that?
i can't find a link,, years ago,, some work was done showing cancer feeds on sugars,, both simple and complex. ---after that i try to stick as close as possible to green veggies and meat. i do love my junk foods,, but try to limit my exposures to them.I have said this to numerous times to my coworkers and I will say this here. Everyone knows this so it's nothing new. This is about money. Plain and simple. BT and BP are .... hurt because they are losing money. I believe BP is sweating this loss the most. It is my firm belief that the medical field has had a cure, if not a way to suppress cancer giving people full lives. But just think on how much of an impact this would have on the money aspect of this. The medical field would lose billions. I could be wrong. But I sure do have to sit and wonder.

I notice that the 95 Percentile is used a Lot in these Discussions.
How Exactly was the 95% Determined?
i wont go out of my way to stop teen vaping........vaping has a very 'chilling' effect on me,,,,,,,,,,and we could use more chilled out teens over the violent we seem to have in our 'village' these days.My opinion on this "teens should not be allowed to vape". Most smokers started smoking while they were young teens. Are we seriously hard hearted enough to say to them "no vape for you to get you off cigarettes, you have to continue smoking until you are old enough to vape"and, I would much rather that young teen start vaping instead of getting hooked on cigarettes in the first place. I truly do believe with ever fiber of my being that they WILL NOT get addicted to vaping.
I prefer "no known harm to humans". It is the most truthful statement possible.It's like I've said with what some call "common sense regulations" - that plays to the authorities, and the 95% number without any justification does that. It tends to make one sound "reasonable" but I'm with Lessifer on this one, given the actual data we have (even from long term studies on inhalation of PG and VG from Dow Chem.), 5% is not "reasonable". Bill G, Brad Rodu and others say that 95% gives too much away and prefer 99.99% etc.


con on the American Public!
And now you've stated your line.
See a pattern here? Everybody has a line, they're line, that they come to from having they're personal experience. All good. But don't expect my line to be where Less's line or your line are.
And...be careful with the whoopin cause raising kids today ain't like when I was growing up.
They kinda frown on dad's board of education. Mine busted that thing across my behind then yanked off the belt and kept goin.
You know, our culture has no problem zombyfying our children, on a massive scale, with all sorts of psychoactive meds, but freaks out over a little harmless nicotine...i wont go out of my way to stop teen vaping........vaping has a very 'chilling' effect on me,,,,,,,,,,and we could use more chilled out teens over the violent we seem to have in our 'village' these days.
