Safer alternative

Very interesting article from 1999. Even refers to cigarettes as analogs, development of new products, nicotine delivery devices, big tobacco and the FDA.

Safe Cigarette Alternatives? Industry Critics Say

Anyone feel this was describing ecigs before their invention?

Interesting ..Only thing I can say is Im glad the nasal inhaler never caught on. We would all have APV's up are noses..LOL

Haha sounds much worse and would make everyone look like...

I wonder how much medical research by the FDA will vary from the doctor in the article, hmm...

I actually tried the Eclipse! I don't remember much about it but I didn't stick with it so I guess it didn't work that well.

i like how they predicted that the FDA would be the enemy of the product then too

the article was written 14 years ago and holds so true to this day. interesting how at that time it seemed that heating the tobacco was considered a safer alternative and today heating a nicotine liquid is causing much debate

I was suspicious when you mentioned it using the term "analogs" in the e-cig user's sense in 1999. But they used it as in "analogous" not as in "non-electronic cigs". So it's cool. Also, it's an archived journal at oxford.

So yeah...an interesting article. The industry seems to be looking at harm reduction for quite a while.

So did I! If I remember, I was willing to continue but the product was no longer on the shelf.
