The "CON'S" Of E-Smoking ... Addressing/Fixing

[jamie]

Lots of good ideas here. I esp. agree with having both disposables and refillables, controlling our own nic levels, and not being so hung up on replicating duration of a cigarette.

I don't see the problem with the "oversmoking." ..... there's nothing bad coming of it - primarily : NO CANCER.

I don't want to derail the topic so if anyone wants to discuss further please start a thread in appropriate section. Just want to note we shouldn't pronounce this with so much certainty - there is some slight evidence that nicotine itself may have the capability of causing lung cancer.

and even when not, nicotine is not harmless.

I myself am a bit worried about oversmoking because I suffer from a heath rhythm error (ok, this translation is most liekly wrong, but you get the idea). I did not speak with a doc about it yet, but I assume that nicotine yould be quite bad for me, so I wouldn't want to oversmoke
still, i would oppose a stop - better just sound a beep or light a LED if you smoked ~5 mins

Jamie is correct. One of the biggest lies about e-smoking is that it is "healthy" or "safe". What long-term test is anyone relying on to make such a statement? There is none. In fact, there are many tests and warnings about exactly what we're doing. Plus, we are trusting unknown, unregulated factories in China to give us a substance we then suck into the body's most vulnerable organ -- the lungs. That's safe??? E-smoking is fraught with dangers, and lies from manufacturers. I'll continue to do it but I don't fool myself that this is somehow healthy for me. No one knows. Better than tobacco cigarettes? Yes, because of the absence of carcinogenic materials released by combustion. But we didn't always know about the dangers of those substances, did we? What are we yet to learn about the materials vaporized by e-smoking, materials that then coat our lungs and transfer into our blood sreams? I hope it's all good news!
