I don't know about you but I just love ordering 15ml of juice and then just dumping it down the drain. Sometimes I even buy twice that much just to go out and sprinkle it on the lawn, you know, just for kicks :facepalm:

Exactly, lol! And I rip open brand new pre-filled carts and flush them down the toilet and into the water supply!

I spent hours last night reading through CASAA literature and learned a great many things I wasn't previously aware of. Here's an excerpt I found particularly interesting (bold emphasis is mine):

From the CASAA document "ECA The Facts About Electronic Cigarettes"

"Health Impact of Tobacco Smoking
• More than 440,000 people in the United States die of tobacco-related diseases each year (approximately
1,095 deaths per day or 45 deaths per hour), accounting for one in every five deaths and representing
the single largest cause of preventable death in the United States.
• With more than 4,000 chemical compounds, 60 of which are known or suspected to cause cancer,
tobacco smoking is thought to negatively affect every part of the human body.
• Tobacco kills more Americans than AIDS, drugs, homicides, fires, and auto accidents combined."


I am so thankful I gave e-cigs a chance. I've even been buying starter kits for my family and friends (on my dime), because even if I can get just one person to put down analogs, then it's worth every penny.

Recent studies show that cigarettes are killing hundreds of people daily. I'd say that seems to be a flaw in cigarettes too, which smokers expose to themselves, their pets, children, strangers, friends, furniture, walls, clothes, hair, carpets, windows,appliances, pillows, plants, dishes, fans, air, cars, other peoples air,pets, children, strangers, friends, furniture, walls, clothes, hair, carpets, windows,appliances, pillows, plants, dishes, fans.

Can you see the flaws of cigarettes? So stay away from e-cigs, they have dangerous flaws.

The media always looks for "the angle".
Recent studies prove you can't fix stupid.

I'm not sure if you know this or not... but I confirmed this with a confirmed source of Woman's Worlds magi zine... so IT MUST BE TRUE... But IF you mix your E-Juice with some DDT... then sprinkle it on your Lawn to kill some ants and get rid of the e-juice you just ordered so you could dump it out... Then Wait 3 months... Then mow your lawn and Smoke it... You might get the sudden urge to dance in the town square .... naked smoking e-ciggs... you will then totally burn off all the calories you have eaten in 10 years.... Which is so TOTALLY better than going to a Dr and talking about weight loss... because after all... what do they know... 10 years of medical school and I am supposed to trust that ignorant bas***d a person who clearly doesn't want to help me (hey the shorter time I'm a customer the more they make. Right?). Just want to point out the time he gave me that stupid polio shot.... alot of good that did... I didn't even HAVE polio when he gave me the shot!!!! That fraud was just charging me for stuff I didn't need.

Just so everyone knows I will be releasing a weight loss plan along with some fake photos of me and falsified testimonials about the success of this unconventional weight loss plan on the internet. But keep in mind... such information should NOT be shared freely... because If I really gave a 2 rice grains about you as a human being I would just tell you how to reach my falsified success... but, because I feel the need to take advantage of your insecurity... I will be charging a small fee of $250 per month for access to the PDF. You can thank me later (after the credit card charge has gone through)


Of course if you really want to lose weight... you could just do what the entire medical community says and "GET OFF YOUR COUCH AND MOVE!!!" but that would be too easy... and I want to make 250 bucks on you. And I am an out of state person who wants to send his kids to UCR, and I will then need to pay for studies that are based on incomplete and unresearched facts.

Thank you all for your support!!!

[/end sarcasm]

just saying that anyone can publish anything... they don't have to back it up with truth. Its up to the individual to find the truth.

Hmmmm - that document was created by the now-defunct ECA. It could use some updating, as well...

"Health Impact of Tobacco Smoking
• More than 440,000 people in the United States die of tobacco smoking -related diseases each year (approximately
1,095 deaths per day or 45 deaths per hour), accounting for one in every five deaths and representing
the single largest cause of preventable death in the United States.
• With more than 4,000 chemical compounds, 60 of which are known or suspected to cause cancer,
tobacco smoking is thought to negatively affect every part of the human body.
Tobacco smoking kills more Americans than AIDS, drugs, homicides, fires, and auto accidents combined."

Yep, it's part of the anti rhetoric that we often quote without really thinking about it. The antis want to end ALL tobacco and nicotine use, so they freely substitute the word "tobacco" for "smoking," even though most smokeless tobaccos are not the cause for the diseases and illnesses they cite. If you read things carefully, you can see how, by doing this, they manage to vilify ALL tobacco to combat our efforts to promote tobacco harm reduction.

Think if they did that for driving fatalities:

"Over 10,000 people a year die from driving" sounds pretty ominous for everyone who drives, until you know that the whole truth is that those 10,000 a year die from driving drunk.

And especially now that e-cigarettes are classified as a "tobacco product," we definitely don't want to be using the word "tobacco" where "smoking" is what is really meant!
