The Center for Disease Control is confused...

CDC - Fact Sheet - Hookahs - Smoking & tobacco Use

New forms of electronic hookah smoking, including steam stones and hookah pens, have been introduced.

• These products are battery powered and turn liquid containing nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals into a vapor, which is inhaled.⁶
• Very little information is currently available on the health risks of electronic tobacco products.⁶

The confusion between Hookahs and Shisha and PV's and juice is just one more battle we're facing.

I think part of any campaign to preserve and improve the image of PV's needs to be a complete and total separation from "Hookah"

The Center for Disease Control is confused...

While there are many top-notch doctors and scientists at the CDC, it is still run by bureaucrats and bean-counters.

Mixing politics and health is never the right way to do things.

The CDC is not confused. It is a political entity which does whatever it is told to do by the people who pay for its operation.

Well that shouldn't surprise confuse anyone.

I mean, who else would think it's OK to store Anthrax in a zip-lock bag?

Now hold on, we don't know what kind of ziploc bag. It could have been on of those color coded ones so you know it's closed.

Broke the links. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...g-links-junk-science-other-rubbish-posts.html

The CDC do not have anyone's health as their concern these days. It is all about the funding they receive and from whom they receive it. Also the Huffington Post is such a garbage news site.

To think, before I started vaping and having my eyes opened, I used to think these organizations were on the level.

in my brief dealings with them...all I can say is ...what's new?

Govt BS, I worked for UT and NASA for the better part of a decade and I grew to hate working for the govt, let's just say I know exactly why a hammer costs the tax payers $60.

the more I learn about the CDC the more I dislike them.

It would be nice if the vaping community had some form universal dictionary based definitions. We need a neutral common vocabulary so everyone knows what everything is. It is worse in the non-informed community, no I am not smoking, no these are not drugs, no it is a hookah, no it will not hurt you, and yes it is pretty amazing and cool. My favorite one yes you can do this too but only if you passed 8th grade science and high school chemistry.

(Edited out a misunderstanding )

I'm sorry if my post made you think that
It totally was not my intention!

I was pointing out that "I" me, only me, used to believe what the propaganda machine would put out.
When I got involved with vaping, only then did I have my eyes forced open to what is really going on.

I apologize if I've inadvertently, and with no intent, to belittle you or make you feel that way.

Edited my previous post after I read the link and realized why you broke the links I posted. Knee jerk reaction, I apologize.
