Not sure if "Liking" actually as a "bump" effect?

 

[Stosh]

I'm in NJ, but this is worth a bump...

 

[Berylanna]

If you are going, please take info about PEER-REVIEWED studies.

 

[Uma]

Emergency bump

 

[Berylanna]

Bump and be prepared to prove ANYTHING you say.

Or bring some (sealed, labeld) flavored mix for Pina Colada, and/or something else sweet. (Not the alchohol.) Then accuse them of allowing people to mix toxic alcohol and child-friendly flavors in the kitchen sink.

As Berylanna says.

 

[Elizabeth Baldwin]

Bump for this.....

Drexel School of Public Health peer-reviewed study of e-vapor:

BMC Public Health | Abstract | Peering through the mist: systematic review of what the chemistry of contaminants in electronic cigarettes tells us about health risks

One of the Farsalinos studies:

Evaluation of the cytotoxic potential of e-cigarette vapor on cultured cardiac cells: a new study

Other articles (not necessarily peer-reviewed but still "official"):

FDA and EPA studied and approved propylene glycol use in hospital and other air:
EPA & FDA: Vapor Harmless to Children | Minnesota Vapers AdvocacyMinnesota Vapers Advocacy

Now doctors say e-cigarettes do help you quit smoking, so why ban in public places? | Mail Online

Studies, some peer-reviewed, some not, ALL better than the ANTZ junk:

Learn About Electronic Cigarettes

And, last but not least, and probably more important on the West Coast than the East, even the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY severely criticized the Stanton Glantz study that the U.S. dept of Health and Human Services endorsed:

Gonna be hostile territory:

Panelists will include Patricia Henley, director of the Office of tobacco Prevention for DPH, and D.J. Wilson, tobacco control director for the Mass. Municipal Association.

Hostile INDEED!

"The forum will include opportunities to ask questions and engage with the panelists. This is a great opportunity for parents and other concerned citizens to get educated on an important local public health issue."

Be nice. Let the ANTZ do the nasty crawling and stinging.

Can we get some parents and grandparents to go? Can someone ask if it's a good idea to push a child's parents back to smoking? Or a kid's grandparents into dying?

What are the TOTAL Massachussets poison control statistics for nicotine poisoning counting patches, gum, lozenges, cigarettes, and matches (matches can be VERY poisonous!) Are ecig raising the total or replacing some of the other stuff in the total?

 

[Suss]

 

[Berylanna]

Ok, sorry. Just suggestions. I found the Oklahoma statistics really easily but basically I'm saying this event sounds like a setup and I'd rather see Us set THEM up. But....I have an active fantasy life that often features bad results for ANTZ.

I'm on the West Coast, I'm not going, so I'll pray for y'all.

Calm.......I need to keep calm.

I just stumbled onto this uk list of studies, which some I'm sure are crossovers to here.

Gosh, there's more but my brain is on vacation.

 

[honeycombdome]

Work has been slow lately so I plan to do some more research and note taking tomorrow before the meeting. I want to be as informed and composed as possible if presented the opportunity to speak. I admit though, it might be hard not to let frustration to ANTZ rhetoric and propaganda show through.
