My reaction whenever someone says e-cigs are bad as regular cigs

[noi_max]

Some people you just can't convince anything otherwise.

 

[tiggerrts]

I tell people if they were truly bad then why does the FDA allow for the same ingredients to be inhaled in the cessation product inhaler's, in an asthma attack inhaler, or in a nebulizer for infants with RSV? Usually stops them cold and makes them think.

Yeah, e-cigs are horrible. Smokers don't die and the government doesn't get paid. Hate 'em.

 

[Syn007]

What?!! Who said that???

Just like this...

My mother's asked me to quit before stating that she's read (on the internet) that they're worse than cigarette smoking. Didn't get more info, but had to wonder exactly where she read that.

Then again, if I sent her to a parody news site, she'd probably believe most of that stuff too.

If its on the Internet it has to be true! You can't lie on the Internet! <eye roll>.

I don't have a cool meme. But I tell them that I know for a fact they are not as bad because I use to have 5-10 life threatening asthma attacks a day, and now I get maybe 1 very mild attacka week! The PG is used as a base in my asthma meds... so HOW can it be just as bad. And they usualy shut there mouth there. And I say yeah... thats what I thought.

haha those are great! I just ask about they're sources, what data have they actually read, or is it something they "heard"

I usually fall back on the old - "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person."

 

[Jarski44]

Well, having always been one who's ready for a debate, I just ask them if they think that or know that. Then ask them based on what evidence. Then proceed to use evidence and logic and destroy their argument. When all else fails, I simply inform that smoking was my choice, and so is using an e-cig, their opinion isn't relevant, nor is it of consequence.

 

[tiggerrts]

Tell them that PG and VG are both listed in Mucinex Cold medicine to be used by adults and children, approved by the FDA. Only found that out today while using it from being sick.

Electronic cigarette solutions contain purified or distilled water, food-grade propylene glycol (generally regarded as safe by the FDA) and/or vegetable glycerin, 0% - 3.6% pharmaceutical-grade nicotine (same as that approved by the FDA for use in gums and patches; not considered a cancer risk) and FDA-approved artificial and natural food flavorings. When used as intended, it is nearly scientifically IMPOSSIBLE for those ingredients to have the same health risks associated with cigarette smoke! tobacco harm reduction experts agree that smokers who switch to e-cigarette vapor eliminate or very nearly eliminate all of the health risks associated with exposure to cigarette smoke, simply by virtue of the lack of toxic and carcinogenic ingredients.
