Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I thought it was interesting.

The Opening of New E-Liquid Website Lets Users Learn Truth About E Liquid Nicotine - SFGate

Thanks for that. Looking at the site that the article points to, I quickly realized that it is heavily sponsored by "popular" e-cig companies. While not a bad thing in and of itself, It can lead to biases which can be ultimately misleading to the new vaper. Every page I navigated to poped up an annoying V2 ad. It is a very new site and the information is elementary and limited. It is evidence that public interest is growing. More of these sites should point to these forums. Once that happens I'll be impressed.

"All the issues raised against ecig use are nothing but a ploy that undermines the public’s ability to decide for themselves." Love this line!

FYI, the link above opens on page 2 of the article. Scroll down to go back to page 1.

Thanks for sharing.

That was somewhat bizarre.

Once ECF pays for the advertising, they will.

Good or bad way I see it:

I have tried everything I could to quit I just cant stop myself, so I am going to smoke.

The fact is I know e_liquid isn't good for me, it contains nicotine which is bad for the heart.

Most things are bad for you but it being good or bad isn't really the point blank, its how bad for you is it?

While e-liquid may not be healthy I urge anyone to actually try and convince me that e-smokeing is not 100x less bad for you then a cigaret containing thousands of chemicals. So if some people are going to smoke a less bad for you option exists.

Most people in my experience with e-cigs argue good or bad, reality is nicotine is bad for you, but not as bad as a cigaret so what would you rather someone smoke if they are going to anyway?

Pshaw, it's not like it that hard to get a template and add in your own information. Websites don't cost THAT much to host any more.

lol, the least they could've done is finish filling in the template.

SFGate is the website for the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper.

And the weird part is that a reputable newspaper would republish something like that.
It is clearly one of those PRWeb advertisement pieces.

Of course, advocates are not saying that it is a healthier alternative to tobacco.
.

.
Besides, vapers are not trying out all the delicious and sinful eliquid flavors for health reasons. They simply prefer eliquid over tobacco for the simple reason that it is more fun to use. The variety and dynamic nature of eliquid makes it the more favorable option over tobacco cigarette smoking.

While I don't disagree that it might be more fun, the vast majority of people that I know do it specifically for the health benefits.

It was definately an advertisement. Even so, there are some great studies out there that they could have linked, to give themselves some validation.

Did anyone go to the eliquid.net website the article refered too? Mann is that one obnoxious site. I was trying to find out if they listed their ingredients anywhere on the site. I could not read more than a line or two without a pop up e-cig ad.. I was on the home page for less than a minute had had to close down at least 10 pop ups...

Its straight off of PrWeb, used mostly in the SEO industry. Anyone can "Press Release" anything they want. Wether its true or not, I didnt read the article, just skimmed it. But keep in mind that articles like this are released by just about anybody with a couple of dollars.

Article date 20 Oct. Today's date 25 Oct. The eliquid.net website is down already.

Looks like the boogeyman got them.

thanks for the read, interesting but taken with a grain of salt with the sponsors

 

[RosaJ]

I invite you to read the Bill Godsall (or Goodsall, not sure of the spelling) posts in this forum to get the latest studies on the effects of e-cigs with nicotine on the heart for the vaper and those around him/her.

 

[JENNIFER_GAIL]

Well I didn't say that this was a scientific article, I said that I found it interesting. I really don't care who pays for the article as long as the word is out so that people can make up their own minds about PVs.

Edit- I also found this, which is more medically inclined: Tobacco Control News: E-Cigarette Health Risks; Decline in Greek Smoking Rates - HSPH In the Media - News at HSPH - Harvard School of Public Health

I am so sick of:

A. Discussions on how harmful e-cigs are due to the unknown
B. Living in fear that one day nicotine importation in Australia will be banned

I'm in the UK at the minute and they seem a bit less xenophobic than the Aussies
