What is with this having to log in every 15min. It's getting really old.

Are you clicking a link when that happens or are you just getting randomly booted? Some people are having problems with the 15 million thread. Look here. Forum issues | Page 46 | E-Cigarette Forum


ETA - You guys should look at this thread. Dr. F says is is not good to dry burn or torch your coils. A lot of other interesting things but the coil heating part is what shocked me. The end of microcoils? | E-Cigarette Forum

Iffy, that image at The Wall has always haunted me.

There is no way I could possibly express my gratitude to those who have died while serving our country. I try to honor them by making my corner of the world a little better, uphold the values they fought for and remember them often.

Some powerful images. Nicely done.

Each of the 4 states crafted their own individual agreement with the 5 big tobacco companies. I don't believe that any of the states got their money up front.

I'm guessing you're interested in Texas-specific information. Here is some:

The settlement with Texas calls for $17.3 billion to be paid to the state over the course of 25 years, with the first payment having been made in 1999.

Texas has not sold settlement-based bonds. Most other states did.

Texas recently agreed to protect the cigarette monopoly of the 5 big tobacco companies by applying an additional state tax to tobacco products NOT sold by those 5 companies.

Texas spends less than 1% of the money it gets from tobacco on smoking prevention. The CDC recommendation for TX is that it spend 14% of its tobacco money on smoking prevention.

Tobacco companies spend 55 times as much on tobacco marketing in TX as TX spends on smoking prevention.

There are 11 other states that spend even smaller proportions of their tobacco income on smoking prevention.

Thanks for the info, Bells!

I can't log in at all with my tablet for some reason. Was fine before the "upgrade".

Good one.

Now I'm humbled even more. And so very thankful.

Those are awesome! Thank you all for sharing your Memorials today. Here are mine. My Dad & my Grandfather.

Well, my dry burning days are over with. I'll pulse once for a second to look for hot legs & stop there.

Are you using a bookmark? Look around in here and see if you can find something or just ask in there.

Kenna, thank you for sharing. Made me realize just now that I've never seen a picture of my grandfather in uniform. He fought on the wrong side in WWI and the US said he was too old to join during WWII, but he would have. For our side I mean.

We're hoping Dr. F shows up in that thread and explains himself and the evidence a bit more.

The only one it seems to be happening on is the SX thread.

Glad he made it over here. Sad he couldn't do something, himself, about it.

Weird. Report it and hopefully they'll add it to their list.

They almost didn't make it over here. The SS wanted him badly. Then, over here, he had a family to support which he did by being a door-to-door salesman. He always used this experience to illustrate why the US was such a great country.

After the war one of the universities offered free law refresher courses to any veteran. He went over to sign up immediately. The clerk looked at him skeptically and asked who he fought for. "The Kaiser!" She promptly signed him up. He passed his bar exams and worked the rest of his life helping Jews here get their money and possessions back that the Nazis had taken from from them. Was he rich? Anything but, but he did do people right and sometimes for nothing more than an old chair or live chicken. I'm stinking proud to be an American and overwhelmingly grateful to those who've fought to keep us free.

Then he did get some satisfaction.

Wow - that's a wonderful story to have in your family. What a man he must have been.

He really was something but I think they built them differently back then. If they fell down, they picked themselves back up and went on without suing anybody. If they fell in a hole, they worked their way back out instead of waiting for someone to give them a hand out. But man was he ...... at me when he found out I smoked.

ruh - roh! My parents knew I smoked but I never smoked when I was around them. My Pop never smoked and my Mom smoked very lightly for a few years, like a pack would last her a couple weeks. As a kid I remember her giving me a quarter and sending me to the corner store to get her a pack of smokes and I'd come home with a couple pennies change. Oh my - yes times have changed.

I think one of my Mom's sisters smoked, and eventually died of emphysema, but no one else in my family ever did. I was the black sheep. I never smoked in front of him but he was the one person I could never, ever get anything by. Hurts that he never knew I eventually quit.

My parents quit smoking when my brother and I were little. When Mom-s sister visited, Mom would sometimes have one, and we would snitch on her. They finally played the game by putting an empty carton on top of a cabinet.

 

[clnire]

I grew up around smokers. Mom, Dad, Step Mom, step Dad smoked cigars. I was the only kid who picked it up, but I was going through a rough time and it seemed to be the thing to do. I was about 17 at the time.

I remember back in the 80s Mom would love to come visit us in Hollywood, FL cuz on the Indian Reservation cartons were something like $3.50 each. She would fly back to Chicago with a suitcase full. She died in 93 from breast cancer, but smoked til the end. That was when I really started my struggle to quit. Didn't succeed until the end of 2012 when I started vaping.
