Put down that E-cigarette!

[Chris From Cali]

well that sucks, looks like it could be a long time. So...who's gonna sign up for the study? ha ha I'm down.

You know what would be great...I've heard that they pay people to take studies as there are risks, how great would it be if they had an ad

"Come take part in e cig test bla bla bla $500 bucks"

I'd be on it like white on rice

 

[GoldenP51]

...what we need to do is get Universities to do the studies. It would make a GREAT graduate student project or a good project for a University professor trying to gain some attention.

Great minds think alike!

And Chris...you would more than likely get paid to be part of a study if chosen. Rarely are participants not paid...except in college...then they are given extra credit for classes instead...but they won't just need a student population to study...and I doubt a board would allow student participation in a smoking or vaping study anyway for ethical reasons...it wouldn't get approved, they would more than likely have to go to the general population.

Everything on the internet is 100% true, so there

i cant stop my self from saying this put if the above statement is true then i finally found the best way to e-smoke... that is to put your juice in a frying pan flame on high and put a towel over your head and the pan the cheapest device out there

 

[MrKrinkle]

Im still waiting on my New Amazing DSE901 & RN4081 but as I type this now Im sucking on an analogs hind end and I cant wait to say goodbye to these death sticks once and for all... all hail the E-CIG!!!

 

[MrKrinkle]

I also wonder if we did a background check on (Summer Johnson, PhD) we could possibly find this lady works for a company such as Nicorette or one of the Nic Patch Pusher companies out there???

I must get one of those frying pan things and a couple of gallons of eliquid 8-o

 

[TropicalBob]

A company with the financial clout of Ruyan should offer a free month's supply of Ruyan Jazz e-cigarettes to any smoker over age 18 willing to take part in a survey/study on the devices.

The results would be collected and tabulated by an independent agency with a strong health orientation.

You want respect? Earn it.

Anyone who goes really 'anti' against E-cigarettes will soon start to look foolish in most intelligent peoples eyes. Unlike tobacco smoking there just isn't an argument against E-cigarettes that isn't obviously far outweighed by the potential benefits.

 

[Apollotrigger]

I wish I could share your optimism Lacey.

Unfortunately, my crystal ball says that nicotine will soon be an illegal drug (appx 10 years).

I see them going after caffeine next. Coffee and cola will probably be illegal by 2030.

I can give up the nicotine, but the first person who tries to lay a hand on my coca cola is dead.

The first one of us to win it big time in the lottery needs to go fund all these studies they keep asking for. Seems like the only way a big study is going to happen that isn't swayed by big tobacco / pharms.

Maybe in the future, coca cola = caffeine a very addictive drug and enjoyable.

 

[Chris From Cali]

dido on the cola! Touch my cola and I'm smashing a laptop over someons head

 

[Stymey]

Hrm...just read Dr. Johnson's article and the corresponding comments. Just have to think it's kinda funny that almost every poster basically called him an idiot. LOL

And here she is...nice credentials for someone that reads US News instead of actually doing some research herself

Lifeboat Foundation Bios: Professor Summer Johnson

edit: here is the article (more like blurb) that she based HER article off of according to her article. Note: takes forever to load so I posted the part about e-cigs and WHO from US News

Electronic Cigarettes Ineffective, Possibly Dangerous: WHO

So-called "electronic cigarettes" aren't an effective nicotine-replacement therapy and may be highly poisonous, warns the World Health Organization.

These devices are usually made of stainless steel and have a chamber for storing liquid nicotine in various concentrations. The devices produce a fine, heated mist that's absorbed into the lungs, United Press International reported.

"It's 100 percent false to affirm this is a therapy for smokers to quit," WHO anti-tobacco official Douglas Bettcher said. "There are a number of chemical additives in the product that could be very toxic."

The WHO is especially concerned because some manufacturers of electronic cigarettes use the WHO's name or logo on advertisements, package inserts and other promotional methods.

First developed in China in 2004, electronic cigarettes are now sold in several countries, including Brazil, Britain, Canada, Finland and Turkey, UPI reported.

I also wanted to add God forbid she read the actual WHO report herself and instead site US News as her source...not like it was a long statement by the WHO again

WHO | Marketers of electronic cigarettes should halt unproved therapy claims

Good find. This is the type of stuff that RTV needs because when Dr. Johnson's statements are cross referenced in other articles by other doctors/researchers spreading this jargan, this is backup that it isn't her opinion, but simply a re-write. I am a blogger who re-caps articles for my blog... that's ok because I am not a doctor/scientist. Scientists/Doctors should be doing their own research, making their own statements. It is these falsities that cause problems. Damage control.

And who with a PHD sites US News? At least use CBC or something else.

 

[SpaceCadet]

Oh god, she looks very... "healthy". I can imagine her walking past a bar with smokers outside, sneering and fake-coughing.

I can't understand how anyone with such an unbalanced view of the world is smart enough to get a PHD ??

$20 bucks says once she launches her assault on caffeine down the road she won't look so perky.

 

[Chris From Cali]

she looks kinda chuby to me, I don't doubt she enjoys a good Ben and Jerry's every other night after work.

The scientific method is a vanishing concept.

Science is now using "peer-review" to inject itself into politics. In other words, "if enough of us say it, then it's fact" is the new science.
