What an idiot. Did he do any research before writing this?

" Each puff delivers nicotine to the brain - fast. It feels good, so we take another hit - then another. Soon the brain's chemical structure actually changes. It becomes hooked into wanting more and more nicotine to make the effects last. At this point, we be hooked."

He makes it sound like people are getting high on Nic. Rolling my eyes.

Bwaaaahahahaha! That article is funny! My comment for him would be "Sorry Mr. Alderman, I don't speak DERP! DERP!" I don't think that would make it onto his comments.

Okay I submitted. I was a bit angrier then I normally tend to be but screw it. This guy is an uneducated donkey or an ANTZ slave.

 

[GraceH]

Thats not the only misinfo in that article. He's snarky and arrogant in his tone. He makes ecig sound more dangerous then smoking.

nevermind the 80% success rate for quitting smoking and then quitting vaping. Nevermind the avoidance of putting toxic chemicals in your body from smoking. The more I think about it the more it bothers me. Grrrr

Vaping is harm reduction . . . Period.

What really ticks me off is that my comment was mainly about big tobacco, big pharma, and the FDA all being in cahoots to keep people smoking. Apparently, you can't try and point this out in the comments.

This guy needs to do some research before he's allowed to write such garbage. As a matter of fact so does his editor. What a bunch of idiots.

"The flavor option is a pitch for younger adddictoids who tend to favor taste enhancements - which means a pepperoni-pizza-.... is surely on its way."

Dear God(dess) won't someone think of the children?

Heh. I'll say it again. I never knew there were rules in the race to quit smoking.

 

[crxess]

Tried to post, would not accept Google acct or yahoo, both of which it claims to take.

Total one sided BS

But, oh my, it must be true.......................I saw it on the INTERNET

Silly person. You must quit smoking in ways that are dull and appropriately prudish. If not how can you laud your superiority over the smokers?

 

[Bob57]

Just an opinion from some one that doesn't have a clue what there talking about.
Last week I saw on "the news" that e-cigs may be harmful to your health?

Oh no,,, I'm an e-.... addict ! 8-o

Makes it sound to me like he thinks vaping makes our brains turn from an organic substrate into...I dunno, plastic?

 

[stefania123]

He says 'it's the German in us.' about keeping set times for breaks. what the hell is he talking about?!!!

 

[stefania123]

and i think he invented that term e-butts for that hack job he wrote.. although e-cigs do not produce butts.. he may be one though.

Obviously not. I love his word, e-..... Considering he's posting his stuff on the internet, it describes him perfectly.

My boss is quite happy that I vape at my desk and don't get up to go outside for a smoke break every hour.
