Right now that Dr.Oz show is going to talk about e-cig dangers.

I saw it already (east coast 4pm est).

He is a fool. He shows ONE drop of eliquid, and say that is enough to poison a child. He doesn't define "poison".

There is no mention of the various nic levels available. But he keeps referring to it as dangerous nicotine and poisonous nicotine. He did a typical bs Oz demo of nic overdosing, but without any parameters.

His "expert" said there have been deaths.

imho, very irresponsible.

The facts are that there were like 3,000 calls to poison control centers regarding eliquid (from all ages). Not that there were incidents or fatalities, just CALLS.

Well, of course I managed to miss Dr. Kook. My phone rang right when they started talking about it & missed the entire thing.
Sounds like the typical media way to only look at any little possible bad thing.
Would be nice if someone out there would become knowledgeable about vaping reality.

Just as I thought, didn't miss a thing.

BTW, I cant stand his show.

I don't believe anything he says. As a medical student who is about to graduate this may, I've seen his show, and he spews crap left and right.

Congratulations, and I love your attitude. Keep your mind open as you continue in your career, and you will be a wonderful physician!

About Dr. Oz, he reminds me of one of my favorite doctor jokes: Do you know what they call the person who graduates last in the class at medical school? Doctor.:)

I just wonder why people are silly enough to believe such hogwash.
Always reminds me of the toothpaste commercials of yore .. with the lady saying "As a dentist's wife, I recommend toothpaste XYZ". Or the commercials with this guy who played a doctor on a TV show recommending decaf coffee that would not "make you tense".
I was always like "WTH?" :glare:

Only if da sheeple had da ability to follow da money and/or GAS, we could be relatively free from da money-backed BS.

As I look at our today's society, da news/popular media/grubbin' personalities are all too wrapped up in sensational headlines in order to promote profits over common sense!

No, I'm not bad mouthin' our younger generation in general. BUT, some of dem are truly sad products of irresponsible parents and a slippin' educational industry along with electronic peer pressure.

Being an ol' fart with a young heart with a bit of history under my belt, I'm seriously hoping dat vaping will bridge da generations and reveal da true underlying villains! Please don't tell me it's too late...

VAPE ON FER OUR FUTURE!!!

Did anyone notice his closing line? "Remember folks, playing with e cigarettes is like playing with fire". Gee, I would have thought lighting a roll of paper and tobacco leaves on fire would be more like playing with fire.

Also I am so glad he had that giant mock up electrical board showing how your body goes electrically cuckoo on nicotine. What a completely useless piece of crap. If he had simply said, "More people nowadays are using this e juice, remember liquid with nicotine could be dangerous in children's hands" that might have been slightly helpful. The actual show was a confusing disaster.
