Should Electronic Cigarettes be Regulated as a Medicine? Like the Nicotrol Inhaler or the Nicotine Patches and Gums?

[beckdg]

Air fresheners should not be used in enclosed private or public spaces if other people are present, except when those ignorant vapers fart in elevetors.

Speak for yourself ...

Ahh I see the senate hearing into e-gigs started a few posts back.

Are these fruit flavored farts? Those nasty little dirt bags, errr I mean The Children may enjoy them. We must regulate farting in elevators for the good of the children. <nods>

Have you ever eaten Cheetos?

Nope, not even one.

If I recall correctly, you still smoke in addition to vaping. Nothing wrong with that, but it seems you have less to lose than those of us who are tobacco free and have no option except vaping to stay that way.

You have an option. Stop vaping the world won't end. You've already quit smoking and according to many here nicotine isn't addictive when vaped so it should be no problem.

Nicotine is only one part of the addiction though, for me anyway. The ritual of smoking and oral fixation (no snarky comments please) are the biggest hurdle for many of us. Vaping fulfils all of the aspects of the smoking addiction, plus a few extra bonuses.

You've missed out. There's nothing like orange fingers when you're seven.

I have never, ever said nicotine isn't addictive. I am well aware of what I am Jonesing for.

You are Joking.... Right?

I didn't say that you in particular said that but there's lots here who do make that claim.

Nope no joke.

I am aware that you dislike being quoted, but can you see the problem with this exchange?

I'm not advocating for the proposed regulations, those are proposals made by those with their own agendas. I'm also not discounting anyone's success, including yours. However to say not having ecigs will cripple or kill is in my opinion a great exgraration.

Whether or not someone else thinks nicotine isn't addictive is irrelevant to my post.

Understood, but those are things that can be overcome with patience and willpower. Those are the motions of a habit that can be controlled with a number of other options.

Maybe, except you said you have no other options, which in of itself isnt true. You have the option to vape or not.

I have another option. Keep on vaping nicotine, the world won't end.
Do you honestly still not understand this "nicotine isn't addictive" business, the terms and conditions?
If not will you please read the studies and comments from the research PHDs involved. If you do understand then please quite with statement like nicotine isn't addictive when vaped and attributing them to others. I've not seen anyone in this thread or in the research say that.

Vaping is not the only option. You may not like the other options but if you want to not smoke or vape the choice is yours.

But let's just imagine vaping is banned altogether, you have no supplies, none. A ill fate will not find you if you choose to not return to smoking, chewing, wearing a patch, or chewing nicotine gum. Now you may be mad, you may desire it, you may even stay in bed, but you will be fine.

How long have you smoked?

Your are tobacco free, according to you. Problem is your not vape free. At this point tobacco isn't part of the equation, the vaping is. So if you want to quit vaping there should be nothing pulling you back to tobacco because by the very definition here vaping and smoking are two totally different things.

What kind of parents don't give their kids at least one Cheeto in their lives? ... really, this protect the children thing can go overboard sometimes

Why are you still smoking cigarettes?
