UC Davis Student Health and Counseling Services on e-cigarettes

[Katya]

Anyone interested in sending some information (links to recent studies and such) to Alexis?

She's a student blogger and obviously means well, but she needs to be better educated on the subject, IMHO. Please be gentle, she's a kid.

Something to keep in mind: Avoid spaces where others are vaping. It’s a common claim that e-cigarettes affect only their direct users, but this is not true. Secondhand e-cigarette vapor contains many of the same carcinogenic and toxic chemicals in the original vapor.

The UC system is the home of the glANTZ. I wouldn't be surprised if this 'innocent student' is one of Stan's pawns recruited to spread the ANTZ dogma to youth.

glANTZ is a "Distinguished Professor of Tobacco Control" at UCSF, but I have no doubt that his propaganda has brainwashed pretty much everybody in California, not just UC students. That said, I visited UCLA campus recently, where vaping has been banned in April, and I'm happy to report that I've seen many vapers walking around, vaping openly and pretty much everywhere, without a care in the world. And in Westwood, just off campus, there are at least three hookah bars--and plenty of vapor and cigarette smoke everywhere.

Haven't seen anyone smoking on campus.

That's a good sign, regulation without teeth.

I fixed the breakage of the link. Highlight, copy and paste, and it should work ok now.

I thought I'd put another spin on this to show the hypocrisy of the Antz campaign. They shout from the rooftops omg even second hand vape is dangerous to be around and we haven't any testing to prove E Cigs are safe yet in the Bus Industry the 3 or for major engine manufacturers come out with "Clean Burning Diesel" and some guy puts a rag over a tailipipe and goes oh my god it's 100 % clean no soot. Automatically hallelujah America can breathe easier now. No Stan Glantz kinda guy going well were gonna need to see proof first. How many so called clean emissions vehicles go by us while were outdoors yet some pg/vg flavoring and nicotine is a major health threat.

Has anyone sent this girl an email, yet?

I would like to email this person a great amount of information, only problem is there is no email. She is actually completing a Communications degree and really does need to learn to do her research before writing. Unfortunately these types of corporately produced puppets are going to be more prevalent as time progresses.......we see it in a lot of the articles posted on this site. It really is up to all of us to point out to these people that there are always two sides to a story, and it would be sensible to research your work before publishing.
If anybody can find the email...........let me know, I have rheems of stuff that will keep her occupied for months........if she cares to read it, which I suspect she won't!

Isn't there an email to the paper / editor?
She is a student. If there needs improvement in her research maybe comments need to be directed to the paper / editor / department head / professor who have oversight and develop the curriculum?

Most large universities have professors of opposing opinions. Just because Glantz is there, doesn't mean all proffessor's agree with him. My experience is that when there is one who is out-spoken, there are other's waiting in the wings ready to take up the opposing arguement. Just sort of human nature.

Believe me . I have looked everywhere in their contact information........no email. When you go to her about me page.......still no email.It is a health blog page for students. Even on the contact us page there are loads of phone no's and an e-message service but still no email!

I guess if No One wants to do it the Old School way, via a Land Line, they could Tweet the Co-Author.
