This is a US agency that has the task to protect people. Why are some vapers afraid of it?
If FDA finds something wrong in vaping then you should be glad they are protecting you, right?
OK. Enough! I need to go back and clean some stuff up.... I need this to stop now!
I keep reading about FDA, and I dont know what that is. Let me look that up.
..
Interesting:
The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), cosmetics, animal foods & feed[5] and veterinary products.

The only thing that I may have against FDA or any other agency similar to it from other countries is that they didnt yet ban smokes. Other than that, I dont see anything wrong with the FDA censoring or at least regulating vaping IF theres anything bad with vaping. You people should be glad they do it if it were the case off course.
Trust me, Im really trying but seems hard with some folks.
Yes, I understand your frustration. But it seems a bit excessive to ban someone because they have a different point of view than yourself.
Me, I would just ban people that would use a very colored language. As long as we keep the discussion civilized I have no issue with a proper dialogue.
My action of posting here now has a single important purpose. So there is dialogue, ideas shared so other people have more than one point of view.
Most vapers here do it because they need to. It seems safer than smokes. For me, discussing how nice and cool clouds and flavors are is like bragging about the latest insulin shot gear and how cool it is to do it.
Watch what you ask for! My friend and working partner died in his sleep last Saturday at 52 years young. He did not even know he was sick. We were out working the day before. Never said anything to his wife about not feeling well either.
I don't think many Americans who have lived here their entire lives have any idea what it is like to live under authoritarian rule- like the Czechs and Romanians have. Both fought for their freedom- in our generation; one through a peaceful revolution; the other through violence...
I really don't understand why some don't want any regulation at all. Everything is regulated, to an extent- even air and water...
Young boys get pretty easily hooked on high tech gear, having the newest toy out there and pumping clouds so they could impress their friends.
I may be sort of an idealist, but shouldn't excess use be frowned upon? Like making the latest quadruple coil builds for blowing HUGE clouds? Or getting the maximum flavour? Especially when almost no one on this site knows the chemicals used for flavouring? (sure, there are a couple that could jump in and write the chemical formula but you're very few, please relax).
I am a biker, and also active on some bikers forums. And there are excesses as well, like people riding on one wheel, or riding real fast splitting lanes. While it may seem cool (like blowing huge clouds with chemicals that are not fully researched) they usually are getting slapped by the community if they try to post such crap.
I can understand the need to vape, I understand the talk about gear that could be more efficient in helping you stay off smokes. Like lighter gear, packs more energy, battery keep up for longer days, larger tanks for liquid (to keep you less busy through a busy day), less intrusive etc. Yes, I can understand that, and it's good talk.
But high watts, 10 coils in parallel, unknown chemicals as flavours, that I don't get. It shouldn't be so easily presented, and the community should think about these things. About how vaping comes across to the other side.
Finally got to the end of this discussion, lot's of hate, lot's of good discussion.
bob808, I see your point with the non-smokers thinking this is a cool healthy vice and about vaping being not quantized on it's health aspects.
AndriaD, tough ol gal who knows what she wants.
and Silver eye's, glad ya stopped posting.
Hope all had a great Christmas and a fantastic new year.
...I'm definitely not an "ol gal"....
No, you're a southerner and down here our momma's still teach us to say yes ma'am, no ma'am, please and thank you.
