That FDA approved NRT programs whether prescribed or not have started boosting their advertisments, Lately.
I have noticed a lot more quit smoking commercials that support the patch, zyban, ......, hymnotism, nicotine gum, Chantix,etc.
Sounds to me like the government is trying to play hard ball and broaden the sources that seek the approval of the FDA. I am sick and tired of this crap trying to bring us down and take away our right to use a product that actually works at a better rate. The patch has a 7 to 15% success rate whereas the e-cig has an 88% success rate. I have conducted a study( part of that study was on this site where I asked questions in the frequency of vaping thread) that encompassed over 25,000 vapers, 42,000 smokers, and a control group of 12,000 non-smokers /17,000 previous smokers that quit. (numbers rounded to simplify)
After conducting this study and building my report:
I have found that 37% of vapers quit analogs the day they started vaping, 62% quit analogs within three months or less of starting vaping, and all combined detail gives an 88% success rate for smokers transitioning to a healthier choice. By the way, out of the 25,416 vapers that participated in this study... 7,241 have reduced their nicotine levels to zero and continue to vape flavors. 12, 578 vape 11mg/ml or less and stated that they are continuing to reduce their intake but do not plan to quit nicotine all together. 5,597 stated they just started vaping and plan to stay between 36 to 24 mg/ml for the first six months to ensure they stay away from the analogs.
What I didn't tell you on the site when I asked questions in the frequency of vaping thread is that I was part of variable studies. In support of vaping .. These studies gathered figures on the patch, nicotine gum, chantix, zyban, and hypnotism.
I am not going to list all the figures for these studies but I will say that hypnotism id the only section that busted the 30% mark for a success rate. These margins are substantially appropriate for me to claim that if research backs up long term effects in health for e-cig users.. Then, the vaping community is likely to grow eminsely over the next five years and of course, the success rate will rise along with its growth. Right now, I have only collected data in my study for a little over 25,000 vapers... and with the success rate sitting at 88% among this study, this rate can only change by a margin of 12 to 15% , and if I might add.. blows any FDA approved NRT out of the water. It would continue to do so even if the rate were only 20%.. but I can tell you that there is noty a chance in hell that we will ever loose this fight with the FDA because :
1: Vaping is a healthier choice and I would like to hear from anybody that can prove different.
2: More smokers are likely to start and stay vaping.
3: Outside of the people who desire to collect, Vaping is less expensive that the market price for a pack/carton of cigarettes. ( At this time, but may change if the FDA gets their grubs on the market. They will probably drive up the cost on the e-cig hardware and e-liquids.)
There is a lot more data that I have collected but for now.. I would like to keep this data impertinant to the public. Less ammo for the FDA to try to use should I make it known and I am in cohoots with a Board of Lawyers and health professionals, along with various pertinant parties for our cause. They have decided to use my labor and reported outcome, as an opportunity to support the e-cig community should the FDA throw a red light in our direction.
I would like to take this time to show my appreciation to all of you who took part in my study on this site and I would also like to give a shout out to all the moderators, commitee members, and Smokey Joe for all the support.
Thanks Once Again,
Tom
