Kids don't need flavors to do something stupid. I can't imagine Tide pods tasted very good. Now the new thing is to try and snort a condom up your nose. Seriously who comes up with this nonsense? When I was a teen this level of stupidity was never even dreamed of, much less achieved.
Whippets?

I HATE articles/studies like that that sate that X contains Y but do not give any specifics. So ecigs can produce "free radicals", but how much? How does the free radical production in ecigs compare to the free radical levels in cigarettes? How does it compare to the free radicals produced in the body after eating fats/oils, processed meats, or drinking alcohol? How does it compare to the free radicals found in many prescription drugs, ambient air in many cities, etc.? Without answering these questions, their statements are utterly useless to draw any meaningful conclusions from.

Just to add that in another article (also from Penn State back in 2015) they at least mention that:

"They found that e-cigarettes produce high levels of highly reactive free radicals that fall in the range of 1,000- to 100-times less than levels in regular cigarettes."

This is in line with what we have said all along, ecigs are not 100% safe but they are many times safer than regular cigarettes. Ecigs are about harm reduction, not harm elimination.

I'm actually considering parts of myself CONSTRUCTED that way, like my stomach acid.

Help, I'm a danger to myself and others!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Yep. Some things are dangerous, but without context, everything's a danger. I might start emailing certain politicians (and especially California ones) the definition of "context." Nothing else, just that.

Think they'd get it? :D I'm thinking they'd just legislate me to wear a T-shirt with a big round "NO" symbol to wear over my stomach and the words: "Contents may be hazardous."

Only 18K did the survey so far.
How many million people vape?
How many US subscribers to YouTube vape reviewers?

There's a catch: only one survey per IP. So if a household fills out more than one survey - only the one counts. If a campus dorm fills out more than one survey - only one counts. Sending from a Starbucks wifi - same. With mobile network several devices may be folded over into 1 IP on the way - only 1 survey gets through.
I'm pretty sure the losses are in the thousands. But yeah, even then it's too little.

Everything was going just fine on this survey here. Until I got to the part of what state do you live in.?
Nope I guess United States territories are not included in this survey. Oh well better luck next time. I believe there's 8 million American citizens live in the territories it's a shame how many won't fill out the survey for the same reason.
