Hi all...just wondering if anyone has assembled an easy and quick to read, informative packet to hand to medical doctors who would like to know more about vaping vs. cigarette smoking? If so, could you please provide a link.
If there's not one, it would be great to create one so that we can just pull up the info, print it and hand out to our docs. Possibly get it stickied for the masses here. :)
I am going to my orthopedic doc tomorrow and he is very interested in finding out more. I know he's a busy guy or I'd have him come to the forums to read more. He is so amazed that I was able to quit smoking, he'd like more info.

that would be good. but most health care professionals are savvy enough to "google" the info and do their own research. they key is to introduce them to the fact that ecigs exist.
read my post titled "educating physicians" under new members forum.
some might be leery and skeptical of it, but the bottom line is that if you got a COPD'er or person with emphysema or some kind of parenchymal lung disease, who is very resistant to quitting analogs, this is definitely the best and possibly only option.
make sure you bring your ecig to your ortho surgeon to demonstrate. thats what i did at my internal med appt this week.
i work in surgery, so dont be surprised if the surgeon bawks at it. they are a different breed, esp if they are older and set in their ways. luckily i work in a facility that employs mostly very young surgeons, right out of residency, who are very cool (though it makes me at age 45 feel VERY old).
