segment on a local TV show

[Nicot]

I just saw a segment on a local TV show about kids mixing e-juice with soda to get high. Seems they are paying as much as $40.00 for 30ml. As if e-cig users don't have enough to worry about here is something new, at least to me. Anyone else know anything about this?

I don't see how anyone could get "high" by mixing e-juice and soda.

I call BS! Anyone knows drinking nic laced ejuice will at the least make you sick! There was a thread on something like this a few months ago.

Complete scare mongering BS! I seriously doubt that has ever happened...

I could see mixing 0 nic for flavor. I could see vanilla custard in with a Pepsi might be good! I'm sure some dummy probaby saw it and got the wrong idea, and the media ran with it like they always do!

Wonder why they weren't doing the same with the Nicorette quickmist. Same price, lottsa nic, readily available under 18.....

They had an interview with a father who found his daughters text message to friends. This seems to be going on in one of our local schools.

I edited your thread title.

Have a mind of what you throw out there please.

If the story's true (and that's a big if), it should reflect poorly upon the parents and the parents alone. This stuff is clearly intended for adults over the age of 18.

Leave it to the media / "news" to provide a sensationalized, fear-mongering "story" to stir up bull.... and divert the attention of the masses away from real issues.

 

[Nicot]

Sorry for using a bad word. My mistake.

 

[Bunnykiller]

what part of this concontion makes one high? soda makes me burp, too much nic makes me hiccup...
ohhhh okay.. between needing to burp and hiccup you get hypoxia....

wouldnt it be cheaper just to hold your breath?????

I guess sniffing glue from a beaker in science glass is passè these days. Sigh.

I think anything that has the potential for abuse will be abused by someone and we can count on the news to sensationalize everything when it comes to children. ...and what parent calls the news with their daughter's text messages?! He should have been way to busy talking to and disciplining his daughter to have time for a news flash...parenting at it's finest.

Cheney High School. I just googled and found said article. You believe that? Do people even question main stream media? This is getting waaaaay out of hand.

 

[TorontoOntario]

Ye man. Im sure kids are drinking nic and pepsi and getting a buzz. Haha. What a gosh darn joke. I wish I could curse.

 

[Nicot]

They had an ER doctor on that was talking about how dangerous nicotine is. This is the type of thing that will destroy e-cigs. IMHO.

Ok? You better be a donating member of multiple advocacy groups.

Somehow this doens't surprise me considering all the glade kids used huff. Never understood why anyone would want to be so stupid, but I guess some kids just get dropped on their heads too many times. That's just me. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone that actually tried the huffing thing out. I just don't get why anyone could think it was an OK thing to do.

I used to be a high school teacher. At one point the local police department told us Dramamine was being stolen left and right from the local stores. Our administrators asked us what it was used for. I knew because I have motion sickness, especially on boats. But, we still didn't know why the kids wanted it. Turns out they were taking ten at a time, and at such high levels it causes, um, cognitive impairment.

I still don't see what e juice in pop would do. Anyone want to check? No, don't. I don't want anyone to get hurt.

Mixing eliquid into soda to get high? Ummm no, this isn't happening, and the ignorance and gullibility involved in all parties to air or believe in such a story is plain depressing. It's far easier for kids to get actual black market drugs than it is to get eliquid anyways, why would they waste their time with that. The only truth I could see to this if in reality what happened is some like ... 5 year olds, found their parents eliquid and put it into their soda without having any idea what they were doing and the news casters spun it to manipulate their viewers (as they do).

I don't understand it either Roxynoodle even after reading the article about it and would google it but I don't want my son when he uses my computer to see it and think I am doing something crazy with my ejuice LOL

 

[roxynoodle]

Oh, I believe the high school kids are doing it, because seriously, they will do anything. I have a feeling though they are on sugar highs, not nic ones They hyped this up and believe it.
