I had to look at the date published 5 times!!! originally published yesterday? OMG. it talks like an article from 2008! where do these people COME from? caves in remote areas of the universe?

Looks like the article has been updated:

Editor's Note: Many WRAL viewers have questioned the assertion by Adam Goldstein, director of UNC's Nicotine Dependence Program, that inhaled vapor from electronic cigarettes "could be several thousand degrees when it hits your lungs."

Goldstein's office replied: "We can’t find any citations about the temperature of the vapor specifically, but there is concern about the pulmonary respiratory effects of the vapor itself."

And comments are open until 8pm tonight. It looks like the comments are having an impact!

there are numerous cases of death and dangerous side effects from chantix, and none from vaping. yet this doctor that gets funding from pfizer says chantix is safe but vaping 'may' be dangerous. Chantix Official FDA information, side effects and uses.

 

[Brewmaster B]

Just commented and quoted some particularly enlightening statements made in the article, like: "Goldstein and others working in UNC's program do offer up to five different products to help smokers looking to quit." and this priceless one: "Although FDA-approved smoking cessation aids are only about 30 percent effective, they do give smokers a much better chance at success than if they attempt to stop on their own."

Comment added! What a douche.

It's fairly evident that Dr. Goldstein can't be bothered with actual research if it doesn't help his bottom line.

You don't need any citation, research or study, just common sense and a 3-year-old's IQ will know immediately that it just can't be several thousand degree.

He must have had a case of verbal ........ then when he said it was thousands of degrees..

 

[darkstorm]

"In spite of that popularity, Goldstein said he's concerned about long-term effects of nicotine mixed with the hot vapor.

"It could be several thousand degrees when it hits your lungs," he said. "We know there are short-term adverse pulmonary respiratory effects."

Several thousand degrees? What a quack.

.......
Later that day..
I think instead of attempting to email one man to convince him he is dead wrong would be counterproductive .. what i am going to do is share my story.. our testimonials to the world about our experience with ecigs make a difference. The people at CASAA work hard for FREE to protect our right to vape as well as keeping us informed on the latest legislation.

Share your story.. more on that in this thread.

I agree with the doctor, one should not vape on Mercury or the surface of the sun. It would be hazardous to your health. (surface of the sun is about 5300 degrees, decidedly unhealthy)

 

[Plettschner]

Just an FYI, comments are open 'till 8pm.

 

[mkbilbo]

OMG! If you are going to lie, at least make something up that is remotely believable.

Seriously! Pyroclastic flow from volanoes only hits around 1800 F! And that'll incinerate you on the spot.

What clown college is this guys degree from?

 

[mkbilbo]

one more thing.. if Chantix is a 'nicotine receptor blocker' then why does this 'doctor' have to put his patients on the nicotine patch AND Chantix?

Hm... I know!

So there's more nicotine to block!

I make pottery and have a kiln in my garage. It has to get up to about 2000 F to vitrify the clay. Now, I've apparently been wasting lots of energy using that 240 outlet I had the electrician install. Who knew I could just use a ecig battery to power that thing? Or maybe I could just blow on the pots after taking a puff.

 

[mkbilbo]

Mebbe he saw an ad for the Volcano Magma and took it literally?

 

[mkbilbo]

No, wait! He heard it was called a "personal vaporizer" and figured that's what it does!

 

[e-pipeman]

Never forget that, when those opposed to e-cigs make ludicrously ignorant statements in an attempt to advance their cause, they actually advance ours.

Am I the only one who would like to know what the TH fells like at over 1000 degrees I may get a bit over nic'd. Can you imagine how fast you would go thru juice
