Hogwash I tell ya!!

As I sit here vaping my morning French Vanilla Cappuccino and drinking my coffee, the news comes on with some interesting findings. Well it now appears that the University of California as determined that there is no link between quitting smoking and ecigs! And then there's a ....* saying that the FDA has no regulation on the stuff so it's hard telling what kind of dangerous chemicals we as vapors are putting in our bodies. Are you kidding me?! My wife, son, myself and numerous friends are approaching 6 months anolog free. Granted, we are still getting nicotine, but not all the nasty stuff in the anologs. We are working our way down on nic levels though. I DIY our own juice, so yes, I do know what we are putting in our bodies!

If you let it continue to rile you up you'll suffer an aneurism trust me It's a constant p---ing match between governments and vapers in this game, don't worry, we'll win eventually Bogus science and payoffs can only last for so long, vaping is forever!
It's the same in the enthusiast PC market lol

 

[meanckz]

indeed....you should post a link to the story/video if you can find it

and yeah, most of these kind of stories are just fear-mongering un-informed bull poop
I don't credit or even pay attention to any one of those pieces of garbage stories
I don't have time to waste to listen to masticated and regurgitated word vomit.

only time I really pay attention is, if they speak of limiting or banning my fun & relax tools and implements

Wonder if they would get the same results testing Nicoderm CQ, Nicorette Gum, etc? After all it is Nicotine substitution.

One thing I have learned in 60 years
Get what you can while you can before someone somewhere tries to take it away.

Well, some news agencies run SOME positive news stories:

Stop Smoking News and Video - FOX News Topics - FOXNews.com

E-cigarette vapor contains nicotine, not other toxins | Fox News

E-cigarettes primarily used to quit tobacco, study finds | Fox News

...BUT, just this morning Anna Kooiman did a story about e-cigs not helping quit smoking but just replacing it. Pretty much p...ed me off.

Ain't it the truth!

Electronic cigarettes may not help people stop smoking: study

I will fight the fight, but I will also prepare. I know lots of machine shop owners. 100mg nic liquid keeps just fine properly stored. Wire, batteries, cotton, PG and VG I am not so worried about. On the political side, I refuse to vote for anyone who supports restricting my liberty in any way, including the e-cigarette issue. Not only will I not vote for them, I will do my best to work against their effort to get elected or re elected.

Well me and my husband were smoking for over 20 years. Me a pack and a half a day, him 2 packs. We would have never quit if not for vaping. I never really wanted to quit because I enjoyed my smokes. I tasted vaping and I was hooked. I've lowered my nic to 6mg. I think there are lots of people who quit the stinkies after vaping. These people doing these articles/news stories need to interview some real vapors and stop speculating based on biased opinions.

True, true.. And quit doing the testing on those damned ole Blu's and cigalikes. Tried those as well.. Yep still smoked an analog after I put it down

....Bogus science and payoffs can only last for so long...

Al Gore is making a tidy living from it.

It's too big of a cash cow for politicians to ignore. It contains the EVIL nicotine, so it can't be good! First they demonize/marginalize it, then sin tax it to death. In the end, only the user loses, and we are too small a group ( in the overall picture) to make any difference. Win/win for politicians.

Oh FFS!
These ppl are just wanting REGULATION! Superficial regulations hurt society imo. I just bet BIG TOBACCO has this STUDY paid for.

Well said!

Yeah, ban Nicotine and legalize the Green Vegetative substance.....Give be a break already!!

Couldn't agree more! It's all about whose lobbyist has the most money for pocket lining.

That's some crazy stuff right there. But it boils down to "TAXING"

 

[Bigflyrodder]

I really don't get it, only thing I can think of is that Big Tobacco must be pushing extremely hard to get all this FUD out in the public. There was an piece in the NYT the other day called something like "Death By The Barrel" that talked about how dangerous liquid nic is and that vapers have it around the house in yummy fruity smelling flavors that just beg kids to drink them and points out that a tablespoon of nic juice used for mixing will kill a child or even an adult.

The article p****d me off for sure but what really put me over the edge were the reader comments. Good lord people, I'm not going to come to your house with a bottle of 100mg nic, take the cap off, put it down on your coffee table, and tell your kid to drink it. Should there be regulations about what does into the juices, sure. Should there be warnings on the labels and should age qualifications be strictly enforced, absolutely. Am I traipsing around town handing out poison to little kids? Mmmmm...don't think so.

Dang, now I'm all wound up. Who started this thread? grrrrrrrrr
