E-Cig Opponents Create Smoke Screen - ECF Infozone Article

[ECF Articles]

A new article has been posted on the ECF Infozone: Public health commentators pushing for e-cig bans are doing everything they can to distort the existing research on safety and quit rates. The public relations campaign is looking more and more desperate. The New York Post trumpets that “E-cigs may deliver more toxins than smoke”, using as their expert source a specialist in craniofacial biology [...]

There was a study that purports to show that vapors inhale more nicotine than smokers or at least they are saying this is what the study shows. This is because vapers vape more and inhale more deeply. Nicotine is the toxins they are talking about. I haven't read the study and haven't seen any abstracts so I don't really know much about it.

Of course they are looking more and more desperate, very few people actually believe them. Also, the nyp is pretty much a borderline tabloid if I remember correctly.

I'm a betting man and i'm prepared to bet that the 4 ingredients in my liquid -vg, pg, food flavour, all regarded by the FDA as GRAS, plus a bit of nic liquid - made to USP standards by a laboratory is a damn sight safer than 5000 chemicals a burning Marlboro emits.
I'm also willing to bet it's safer and more pleasant for anyone that meets me.

The fact that e-cigs mimic smoking is precisely the reason for their success. The answer would be to make a safer cigarette to compare with it and then we'd all go to smoking them, but, without any help and interference from BT and BP - that is already what we have done.

"but you get less nicotine from an e-cig and have to vape longer" - i fail to see the problem!

Before the experts start talking about a "comprehensive list of toxins" that are supposed to be in e-cigs, they must first talk about the "comprehensive list of toxins" in analogs. If they had to do that first before they could talk about e-cigs, the experts would have nothing to say.

There is no question that e-cigs are safer than analogs.

As for knowing what is them I'm not sure about that. Unless the vendor lists the ingredients in his juice there is no way of knowing what is in it. Do you know what chemicals are in extracts or tobacco absolute?

Too true, I hear folks throw that "We know what's in our e-liquid" around but the flavorings do throw a monkey wrench into things. And the FDA's GRAS was not for inhalation of PG and VG, it was for eating them. Not the same thing.
