Feasibility of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems in Surgical Patients.

[Mossy]

An interesting study..........I wonder if we will see this reported anywhere
Feasibility of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems in Surgical Patients. - PubMed - NCBI
It comes from Department of Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN

Link? I mean come on, it's bed time!

Sounds to me as if vaping is being encouraged as a smoking subsititute, especially for surgical patients, instead of the patients being forced to go without nicotine altogether.

This is the type of thing we need to see more of. Actual real life scenarios proving the effectiveness of vaping. It irks me to no end when they use the term ENDS but at least it's being used in a positive way this time.

Oh I Think we are going to See a lot more of things like this.

Once Deeming is Complete that is.

This is good news. This good news is a two edged sword. On the one hand
Mayo's smoking cessation clinic one of the largest and most expensive in
the country demonizes smoking and vaping while their surgical department
is seemingly throwing a wrench in the works. Didn't they get the memo?
Could the stakeholders be so brazen in their belief they have everything under
control or soon will have all of the control, they need not worry about overt
hypocrisy? The deeming regs will keep BT happy and keep smokers from switching
and us shriveling on the vine. Then the medical establishment waltzes in
with all these miraculous uses for e-cigarettes and nicotine. Then BT,BP,
the medical establishment and government will extol all the wonderful
things they are doing to improve the health of smokers. Our role as
ground floor pioneers will be forgotten. Er,wait that's not right. We
were written out of the picture a long time ago. Well maybe there
will be a silver lining. Do you think Mayo can break the $20.00 per
30ml price point?

Do you think Mayo can break the $20.00 per
30ml price point?

If it's prescribed in a hospital, it will be at least $50/ml.

My Insurance might cover that.

But I told them I am a Non-Smoker. So asking for e-Cigarettes Post-Op might be Problematic.

If it's prescribed in a hospital, it will be at least $50/ul.

There I fixed that for you.
