Me? I love your Mug.

Actually everytime I see Less's avatar, it reminds me of my father... if he'd lived a little longer. He was already totally bald, but had a terrific short white beard. Until they shaved it in the ICU so they could tape the respirator to his face.

I'm sorry, if you'd ever like me to change it, just let me know. Conversely, if you want me to keep it, that's okay too.

I finally decided to read this thread.
I have been at it, off and on, for about five days now.

I'm caught up.
And I'm ready to go!!

That's a good question.


Queue further discussion about...
--Are non-smokers really using nicotine when they start vaping
--Is nicotine really harmful or even addictive outside of tobacco smoke
--Are flavors and such potential issues
--The developing brain

Damn, I wish I had never read this thread.

I'm really using nicotine. 12 or 18 nic. 18 for me, 12 for when I share with my love.

I kinda like it; it's like, somehow, he's still keeping an eye on me. Not that he did in real life, he was mostly an absentee dad, I barely knew him... so maybe now he's making up for that, keep an eye on me via your avatar. I'm sure he'd be thrilled I got free of cigarettes, considering that they were most of the reason for his death -- his dad and grandpa both went from cardiovascular issues, but he was well-medicated on that front, and also for that BPD thing that men get, if they live long enough. But considering he started on Luckies at the age of 11... He smoked for 55 years and the bill came due.

again like i said before you cant cite absence of research to support a hypothesis. "F+ck it, why not?" is not a good enough reason to grant children access to a drug. look i will fully admit I might be wrong about low levels of nicotine being addictive to someone that has never been exposed to cigarette smoke or tobacco products but letting children use drugs whose effects have never actually been known in the developing body is not something that the public would take well, especially something that is a chemical found in whats generally known in the public as one of the most addictive substances known to man(whether that is actually true or not). If that was actually proposed to a wide public by a proponent of electronic cigarettes, do you really think everyone would just be like "ok yeah i guess hes right". If anyone here can actually even just convince the general public that nicotine is not addictive to neversmokers then i would forever respect that person but even that, if it is possible, is such a long ways off that its pointless to talk about the ethics of granting children access to nicotine. again why would a child need any drug? if its not for a disease they will surely die from, cant they just find a way to work through whatever they want the drug for instead of going to the instant gratification magic pill solution? would that not make them better suited to handle lifes problems in the future? If you look at alot of successful people that get questions alot from others one of the most frequently asked questions is "how do you stay motivated?' do you think their answer is "drugs"?

and looking for a study on the effects of a drug that is accepted in the public as dangerous in children is pointless, such a study would be extremely unethical (as viewed in the eye of the general public, which is the only view that matters to any large institution)

coralsands, just a word to the wise.... using words such as you did to avoid the ECF rules can result in an infraction. By your join date, I am guessing you are new here. If not, then perhaps you simply didn't know.

You've asked for studies and research from other members here. What research and scientific evidence do you have to bring to this table, just by the way? It should be (or hopefully is) a 2-way street. Do you have such research that nicotine absent of a combustible cigarette is addictive? If so, please do share.
