So mad at our local News

[Myrany]

so then, about 2ml of 24mg/ml nic liquid would be enough to get you on the threshold of death ... do these people really belief what they are reporting?
do you know any teenager that has that much control of themselves? do they carry around 1 or 2 ml syringes? how would they measure? would those kids even take the time or effort to meassure it out...or do the math it requires to figure out the dose to 'not die' ?
they'd be dropping like flies, if this story was anything other than the sensationalism and BS it is.

this story actually borders on the comical if you thought about it and if it didn't undermine our (vaping community) efforts.

You know what really frightens me about this story. It isn't what it can do to vaping. This story can easily give a teenager (who thinks he is bulletproof anyways) the idea to TRY drinking the stuff looking for a high. Talk about irresponsible reporting.

Have you seen this post by Dr. Farsalinos? Nicotine lethal dose in humans: a common argument by regulatory authorities, based on poor science. It's a very interesting read about what we actually know about how lethal nicotine is.

awesome find, very interesting and conflicting stuff going there.
I guess the CDC just sites that value, either to instill fear of nicotine or with a "better safe than sorry" mythology ... eh?
