Not quite sure how to feel about this article

It makes us seem sort of, well, odd....The emerging subculture of 'vapers' who puff on tricked out, customized electronic cigarettes and insist the new technology will save smokers' lives | Mail Online

I don't know about you, but I'm totally not odd!

I don't know... I think I can live with being a sub culture of tech geeks. Even though I do not come near fitting the criteria for the later.

It's actually surprisingly good considering it is in the trash tabloid that is The Daily Mail! In comparison to most of their horrible "articles" it is not bad, it even has decent grammar and interesting photos. It's not very accurate and it's deliberately designed to be shocking or start controversy, but that's what The Daily Mail specializes in. I liked the first photo of the guy exhaling vapor out his nose like a dragon. I learned a long time ago not to get upset by the idiocy that is The Daily Mail and as I said I think this is one of their better articles when you look at it in relative terms.

Hmmm interesting yet odd???

What are you talking about? There is absolutely nothing odd about my mod.

At least they didn't say PG was a poison in antifreeze, and backed it up by saying the Gov approves of it as a food additive.

Cute yes.
Not something I want to puff though...
But to each their own. I recently named my eVic Victoria...

So we puff things like 'Thug juice' and 'Dragons Fart' out of battery holders named Diablo and Caravella while huddling around screens to discuss the best resistance coil to make out of ribbon kanthal..... What's odd about that?

I know right. When I started reading up on vaping I didn't know what to think at first.

This is just a rewrite of the digital trends article.

And the comments . . .

It was no accident that the reporter centered on those who would "stand-out" in your average suburban mall. I'm glad that anyone, regardless of who they are, was smart enough to stop smoking by turning to vaping. But the writer of the article had a definite "slant" in his article.

Note: the longer, full article provided more depth, which was good. But the writer still slanted the article to the outer edge instead of the middle of the road. He didn't capture the large umbrella that vaping encompasses.

"The Food and Drug Administration still classifies inhaling the odorless vapor of an e-cigarette to be smoking."

Is that even true? That statement is vague and confusing. I didn't know the FDA got to define the term "smoking"?

As far as I know the FDA does not have any definition of "smoking" per se.

The question is will they lump electronic cigarettes in with the definition of a tobacco product.
Which they are almost sure to do, some day, maybe.

That still will not have anything to do with any definition of "smoking" which as far as I know does not exist at the Federal level.
