Ontario Buddy Needed

[MadValleyVapingMama]

I'm entering the "Driven To Quit" contest and need a buddy to help with moral support ( I don't think I should enter my KSD eGO as my buddy, ) So if any one is interested, check out the sight & get back to me. It's an Ontario contest so my buddy has to live in Ontario.

If I should be so lucky as to win , my Buddy would also win.

BTY, if any other Ontarioans need a buddy in the contest, I am more than willing to oblige.

Not sure if vaping is ok.. But if I win & they challenge me on it, they will be challenged right back.

All I can say is check out the sight & make up your own mind

Can I use e-cigarettes while participating in The Challenge?
E-cigarettes are not regulated as a nicotine replacement therapy and are not for legal for sale in Canada. As we do not know enough about the nicotine levels in e-cigarettes, using them may produce a positive result for cotinine in your urine test and you may be disqualified as a winner, even if you did not use tobacco. We do not recommend using e-cigarettes.

Well I guess that leaves me out

 

[MadValleyVapingMama]

I does state that nic replacement CAN be used, patches, gum, etc. I don't really see the difference. Correct me if I'm wrong but when I read through the sight I didn't see where it said you could not use e-cigs as nic replacement.

Driven to Quit - FAQ

This is where I found it on there site but I would be more than willing to argue it as well. Scroll down to Cessation methods.

 

[MadValleyVapingMama]

Well I have selective seeing as well as hearing. I did not see that. Regardless I think they left it rather sketchy. I am still going for it

Cotinine Urine Test Nicotine Tobacco Detection

 

[lickwid]

I didn't pass as a non smoker to my insurance company after 6+ months of vaping only, so I'm guessing you'd fail their test too

I emailed them and got the same bull that is in the FAQ when I challenged it I got the same crap back again so I didn't enter

This Cotinine test refers to detecting the byproduct of nicotine that has been inhaled. In the driven to quit FAQ, it mentions the nicotine inhaler is approved. My point is that how would they prove the difference between Ecigs and the nic inhaler?

I assume the nic inhaler would test an individual positive for Cotinine the same as Ecigs would. So why can't we just say (if asked that is) that we used the nic inhaler? Which of course isn't far fetched as it shares shelf space with the gum and patches.

IMO the only reason they say not approved is because of the legal issues of Ecigs in general. Not that they will give you a "bad" urine test. I mean did they really have a choice when contemplating the approval of Ecigs for the contest? Not really when it would advocate their use, which would go against Health Canada. That wouldn't help the reputation of the people running the contest.

I entered 3 weeks ago and I'm not worried at all of being disqualified.

I really hope a vaper wins! Then we can all raise heck if the try and disqualify them

I would be happy to both enter and raise one hell of a stink if I were to fail the test. I think there would be more than enough
support from the ECF community to stir up one heck of a hornets nest
