The most important way this is related to vaping is that we need to know the facts about things like this, because some of our political representatives will use a case of nicotine poisoning as justification for trying to pass legislation that makes it illegal for you to buy e-liquid. Yes, that's stupid...it's also true.



What exactly does this have to do with vaping?

Yes. This is worth repeating both loudly and often. Those who have the power to interfere with what we do are swayed by information... sometimes accurate and sometimes inaccurate. As vapers, if we choose to actively participate in the process to try to keep them from interfering, we have to be armed with accurate information. We have to be sure of our facts. It's the only way we can shift from defense to offense.

Many things in excess and extreme amounts can be deadly.

Here's a news story about somebody who died after drinking too much water. Why don't the ignorant anti-vaping people actually do something useful with their time and start a campaign to ban the potentially deadly and dangerous substance known as H20? Good luck to them with that.

What's sad is there was this young mom who participated in a water drinking contest held by a radio station in hopes of winning a video game system for her kids. She didn't win, but she died a day later from water intoxication.

Or how about the Collage kid and the 3 others whos lives are screwed up with Felony charges pretty lame real criminals get off all of the time yet they waste the courts time and money prosecuting some kids who will most likely never do anything worse than a speeding ticket. Our justice system is out of whack!

If you drink enough water in large enough quantities, it is toxic as well. So should water be outlawed?

Water Intoxication: Just How Much H2O Does It Take To Kill A Person?

There is arsenic present in apple and grape juice. Should fruit juice be outlawed?

Report: Arsenic in Apple, Grape Juice

An overdose of Tylenol could severely damage your liver. Should Tylenol be outlawed?

Even taking vitamins can increase the risk for sudden death. Should vitamins be outlawed?

The government is not interested in an excise tax or sin tax on water or Tylenol or grape juice or vitamins, friend.

Drinking water is not a "sin." It would be hard for the pols to build a school by taxing water. Good post though [emoji212]

Nic`d Up in Oklahoma!
Oye,

The amount of disinformation out there is astounding! And the other side just loves it some disinformation!

They ARE taxing water. Its comes in the form of punitive fines.They are already doing it in cali. Cali is in a drought or so they say, and yet Arizona is fine. I`m pretty darn sure Arizona gets less rain then cali. The reader can figure that logic out.

And YES, this will be used to target Nic sales, so get your Nic in the next few months folks.

Its not a first ;) !!!

Im in the legal professsion and a true-crime buff so have been watching true crime stories for YEARS (ID discovery shows,movies,docs, whatever is available) and I can definitely recall a similar case several years back.I think it was also the husband doing away with the wife(coulda been vice-versa) but it was most certainly done with liquid nicotine...I remember finding it pretty original at the time...It was BV "before vaping", very few people had too many good reasons to have or want liquid nic around at the time ;)!

:( Now detractors will be using it as another excuse to vilify vaping and point out how dangerous it is to have stuff like that around the house,kids etc.

There was an episode of Hawaii Five-O this past fall about a stolen race horse where the killer killed his victim by putting liquid nicotine into his coffee.

It doesnt actually take a lot of nic to kill a full size human. Depends on the percentage. They have 99% nic available. 1 drop would do it.


But in terms of deaths, a 1 year old died just (a year maybe) ago from Eliquid....

Middle East( maybe Israel) Got into Grandfathers Nicotine. Never Clarified if actually e-liquid or Nicotine solution.
I keep Both at home since I DIY
Mixes are only 3mg
Solution is 100mg

The cause of Death was carelessness on the part of an Adult! the manor of Death was nicotine poisoning.
We live in a Politically Dyslexic world where cause and effect are ofter reversed.:facepalm:

Did anybody actually watch the show?
The guy got convicted on some pretty flimsy evidence--the States nicotene expert didn't much impress me.
A lot of the conviction rests on the fact that the jury just assumend Nicotene is a deadly poison--that evidence wasn't even questioned.
I've used nicotene insecticide and I can tell you for a fact it isn't very effective!

Yea this is it. Paul Curry. A former Jeapordy champion.

What exactly does this have to do with vaping?

I thought there was a GREAT lesson in there for vapers and non-vapers alike.

Curry was intelligent enough to talk his way into several engineering type jobs, one a government building inspector job, with apparently no college
degee at all.

Now, he's spending the rest of his life in The Graybar Resort.

It showed Me that once you've convinced yourself that you're a genius, you're probably not Near as smart as you Think you are.

well lets tally up the score.
1 death by suicide,1 death by murder and one possible death
by poisoning. this i believe is in the last twenty to twenty five years
in the USA. this is a stellar record.
mean while since 1998;NSAID's:
"Conservative calculations estimate that approximately 107,000 patients are hospitalized annually for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related gastrointestinal (GI) complications and at least 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur each year among arthritis patients alone." (Singh Gurkirpal, MD, “Recent Considerations in Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Gastropathy”, The American Journal of Medicine, July 27, 1998, p. 31S)

So uh, is your logic "NSAID's are more dangerous than nicotine"?

I think that's very flawed Mike.
