I was on FDA's web site and decided to look at their list of reported problems with ecigs and from what I've read I have to wonder if they aren't just making these up themselves. Sounds like a load of tripe to me.
"I was attending a talk in a college auditorium. I became headachy and nauseated I could also Please describe the health problem or product problem: smell something that smelled like tobacco which made me think I may be sitting next to a smoker (not actively smoking). After a few minutes I noticed that a man about two to three rows directly ahead of me (he was on the front row) was using an e-cigarette, quite openly and freely . The headache and nausea lasted until the talk was over and he left. I stayed for a book signing after that and my headache and nausea got better once the man was gone from the auditorium."
....from 3 rows away no less, this person has quit the draw.
"My daughter suffered trouble breathing and aggravation to a chest cold that had all but cleared up after accidental and unintentional exposure to e-cig vapors in a restaurant."
....and 10 other folks in the restaurant all had cold like symptoms about 5 days later. Darn those ecigs.
"Every time 1used the product it would give me a headache"
....what is nicotine?
"neighbor smokes e-cigarettes, second hand fumes have caused painful respiratory and auditory problems , eye redness , no prior health conditions . because user can get 300-400 puffs per cartridge, the second hand smoke in a residential situation is endless and has caused tremendous distress and health problem ...for family dog as well. Many trips to doctors including one trip to the emergency room for severe tightness to the chest and problem breathing ."
....No say its not true, not the dog. I believe the FDA should work in concert with the SPCA to eliminate this threat ASAP.
"electronic cigarette brought into small office by co-worker. Bad taste in mouth could not get rid of with eating or rinsing. Bad smell stuck with body. Experienced nausea, stomach pain, and slight headache. Stomach pain and nausea eased with fresh air. Went home, changed, showered, brushed teeth and gargled. Irrigated sinuses with warm salt water. This releaved most of the bad taste and smell. Does this happen to anyone else? Why are these chemicals allowed to be used in public places?"
....don't anyone tell him he regularly ingests those "chemicals" as he might off it from the shock.
"If the cause of this Cough , weaz, moisture, is the e-cigarette and it doesn't stop here and will simply accumulate as i continue to smoke, it's my opinion that the effect will feel almost like drowning. Breathing in too much water, very , very , Slowly."
...humm, and some of my DIY recipes call for water.
"High milligram liquid nicotine can be purchased to be consumed through an e-cig. Information is provided by manufacturer on how to mix and produce your own preferred amount. Currently my husband's nicotine level is 36mgs. His addiction has led to constant consumption or chain problem: vaping. Health problems include chest pains that caused a blackout, difficulty in sleeping, loss of appetite, anxiety, and loss of reality."
....and I suppose when he was smoking he'd just rip the top off the whole pack and light it up.
"The electric cigarette gets hot when you use it and alters the taste buds. I just recently realized what was turning my taste buds black and it also yellows your teeth more than a cigarette does. The electric cigarette gets hot when you use it and alters the taste buds. I just recently realized FDA should know about this health problem It does help with nicotine cravings but I will be switching over to the nicotine patches tomorrow"
....the glue on those patches will cause his taste buds to turn green.
"There might be a product defect, but I'm not sure It occasionally will have a burning sensation upon should know about this health problem my lips, not in a chemical way, but in a way that suggests the heat from the heating mechanism is seeping through the edges of the portion of the cartridge that touches my lips."
....ah heat seepation, a common problem.
"Employee inhales Vapors all day throughout office. One employee was out with respiratory problem: illness, one has persistent ccugh and I ended up with bronchitis. I nor anyone in my family has ever smoked and yet in a month and a half 3 people have beccme ill since "vapors" were introduced into our environment!"
....I'm going to have to start vaping in the office because this last week we had 6 people off sick while no one was vaping.
"I was sitting next to a person who was puffing on an e cigarette for a few hours in a closed room and developed bad headache, inflamed sinuses and eye irritation. I left work sick and symptoms did not problem : resolve for about 24 hours. The day after, my throat became sore and now I have cold like symptoms."
....I've heard anti-vaping shots are effective.
... and my all time favorite
"RE : Electronic Cigarettes I read an article on Time Magazine's 9/30/13 issue about electronic cigarettes and I believe this product should be strictly regulated . The liquid that is sold at the stores that carry electronic cigarettes are sold over the counter without a prescription or any sort of regulation although they are extremely addictive. My daughter started purchasing the liquid for her electronic cigarettes and ended up using it or drinking it until she got totally addicted to the extent that she ended up in the emergency room at UCLA several weeks ago in a psychotic condition. This substance is a narcotic and should be regulated as such rather than sold as another cigarette. It is very concentrated and electronic smoking is described as a great experience. Please look into it and I am very willing to give you additional information if requested ."
....no mother I don't smoke [removed], honest.
Sure am glad that the FDA, as they have stated, is not relying any anecdotal evidence to guide their policies.
