You are not getting nicotine!!!! NO! you are getting 2 packs worth of nicotine!!!

Zomg! the sky is teh falling!!!! Beware 2012!!!! e cigs will rain from the sky along with fruit and candy flavor liquids eeeeeek! run awayyyyyyy!!

This has to be a student writer or something raised in an age where the media has made it ok to scare you as long as it helps the ratings and adds readership.

Every night the teaser before the news is something like

"Your walls may be killing you!!! Details at eleven!!!"

In Ms. Gacutan-Galang's view nicotine is more harmful than inhaling tar, carbon monoxide, particles of tobacco and paper ash, hundreds of carcinogens, and thousands of toxins. These products of tobacco combustion are known to cause lung disease, heart attacks, strokes, and many types of cancer.

"You're not burning them, so there is no secondhand smoke and this is what people get offended by," she said. "But they are still harming themselves."

Although nicotine does not cause lung disease, heart disease or cancer, it does enhance the user's alertness, ability to concentrate, and short-term memory. Nicotine also can relieve depression and anxiety. In what way would these effects would be harmful to a university student?

Research shows that tobacco cigarette smokers subconsciously titrate their dose of nicotine to maintain a steady daily intake. They do so by using more or less of the product, inhaling more or less deeply, or more or less often.

E-cig consumers are no different. In the 7 years the product has been in use, there have been no deaths, nor any serious illnesses reported. In addition to our web site (CASAA | The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association), I recommend that Ms. Gacutan-Galang consult the information on http://www.tobaccoharmreduction.org to learn the truth about nicotine and harm reduction products. The lives and health of many young people who rely on her guidance is at stake.
