I love the 'medicinal steps' thing. A plumber sees everything as some kind of pipe or electrical issue, and a doctor sees everything as some kind of medical issue.
Tobacco products or alternatives have got nothing at all to do with medicine in any form.

There's the tendency to categorise things like smoking as a 'disease' or 'disorder'. Like tobacco use disorder or whatever they call it now, which according to them has to be treated with a medical product.
A doctor commenting on 'hunger disorder' in the near future...
"We don't know if pie is safe or effective in the treatment of hunger disorder. While we've had anecdotal reports of pie and other foods helping with hunger disorder, we can't recommend them. We just don't know what's in them. We need more clinical trials to establish pie's long term safety and effectiveness. We recommend talking to your doctor about FDA approved hunger remedies like Dexedrine*, Ephedra* and Rimonabant*. I AM the lizard king!! Winning!!"
* Not FDA approved hunger remedies

Because we all know how deadly the "hand-to-mouth cycle" is. That's much more important than eliminating the smoke exposure.
The last time I tried to quit (long long ago in a far away place) I had this strange compulsion to knit. I resisted and didn't do it. Now I find out that is one of the keys to quitting smoking. Believe me I'm kicking myself. If only I had known.
Why oh WHY do people go on and on about the hand to mouth cycle?
AS IF IT MATTERS.
My infant daughter has already, at three months old, developed hand to mouth. EVERYTHING she can manage to get in her hand is going in her mouth.
Is she doomed?

From the article:
Good luck with that one. Ecigs, to me, are the ultimate de-stressors. Nicotine replacement in a lozenge doesn't help with the hand to mouth urge. In one quit attempt, I ate at least a roll of lifesavers a day. When I went for a dental checkup, my dentist said, "What has changed in your life! You have a couple of cavities." My answer was that I quit smoking and started eating lifesavers. He smiled and told me to get some sugar free mints.

she does seem open minded. but wait until she gets a hold of the 'official literature' on ecigs. i wonder if she'll still be willing to consider.
Hmm...I don't see her as being open minded - just using CYA to not look like she's against people quitting smoking or if it comes out later that e-cigs are safe and effective. I think we can expect to see that tactic used a lot from now on..."I'm not saying people should quit smoking any way they can, BUT I can't recommend e-cigs."
Seems reasonable on the surface, but its really just sidestepping the issue while still sending the false message that e-cigarettes are ineffective and/or dangerous.

Behavioral changes ? I smoked for 46 years and I enjoyed every minute of it. The only reason that I stopped smoking was that I found e-cigarettes to be even more enjoyable and relaxing than smoking was. I have no intention of changing my way of living, to make society happy.
End of rant.

You may be right or maybe she doesn't want know anything. It's easier that way. Or and I think this an outside chance, she may decide to look into it and open that CASAA link.
Hmmmmm the dreaded hand to mouth syndrome. Cousin to the worse disease that affects many so called "experts" foot in mouth syndrome. Yes they aren't fda approved, big deal, niether are vitamins. Small list of things that aren't approved but no one spouts off about over and over like they do about pvs. Vitamins, diet pills, energy suppliments, herbal medicines, and the list goes on and on. To be honest I don't trust the fda anyway they are the ones that approved alot of those medicines that have been recalled in the last few years because of deaths. So not having fda approval doesn't really mean squat to me. Done ranting now everyone have a great day!
