Good one to Digg! If more common sense like this get's out to the public it sure will help the PV's image. But she is right, most people don't know what they are, and I'm thinking it's time I made up some business cards with some PV facts, and links to this forum.
What would be more amazing is if a traditionally liberal newspaper like the Washington Post, New York Times or Boston Globe would get on board.
Yeah, that WOULD be amazing. I don't want to make this a (P) discussion, but you may have noticed that the traditionally liberal news outlets have begun leaning much more toward the lunatic left fringe since BHO was elected. And whatever political bent you may be (I belong to neither major Party), it is a segment of the lunatic left that leads the anti-smoking (and anti-vaping) fascist movement because they know what's good for you. Of course, it's the far Right that leads the anti-vaping, pro-tobacco wing of the fascist movement. Squeezed from both sides we are..... (in my best Yoda voice).
Late in reply to this post. I want to rattle this cage.
This article is a must read. ECF's endorsement of this Thursday, August 6, 2009 article in The Washington Times is crucial. We need more support like this.
Dr. Elizabeth Whelan wrote, "In making its distorted, incomplete and misleading statement, FDA was violating its long-cherished tradition of sticking to sound science as the basis for its policies. And in doing so, it is putting the lives and health of millions of Americans at risk... We desperately need other alternatives. But the FDA has now joined a long list of so-called public-health organizations -- including the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids and the American Lung Association -- whose collective motto seems to be 'quit or die.' [T]hey reject e-cigarettes, ... which have a mere fraction of the health risks associated with smoking cigarettes... The FDA, lacking data that e-cigarettes pose a health hazard, was so desperate, it called on consumers to phone in adverse side effects of e-cigarettes so they could begin to build a case against them and proceed with their intended ban. They neglected, however, to request smokers who successfully quit using the e-cigarette to also call in."
No kidding!
Where's the compassion? I have to weigh in. Once addicted to nicotine, I think it's bad news for life unless you somehow manage to quit. I've tried and failed many times. Maybe it's worse than ....... In any case, kids must not get hooked - it's bad junk. But if all else fails, let us adult users get our nicotine in a safer way. Quit rubbing our faces in the obvious just because we, for whatever reason, got ourselves addicted to a stress-reducing habit (and you wouldn't know if you haven't been on nicotine), and most of you didn't! No need to get all nasty about it. Back off. We're scientists-in-training! We learning what to do.
Whaddado, y'all?
Face it fellow citizens of Vapor Nation, we're being edged out and ill represented by the non-addicted majority. There is a wrong bias at work in my view. This stinks of brain-washing propaganda at a sinister level. (!) Nicotine addicts will NOT quit and we are in a minority. "We the people of the United Vapers, in order to form a more perfect union..." Oh God! I said, "union."
(I think my chili has just the right amount of onion.)
ECF shall conquer this mass-ignorance. ECF will multiply the power of the message. The real TRUTH shall shine forth. ECF, in a spirit of forgiveness and gratitude for "Peace at last!" shall accept from the "experts" a gracious and humble, albeit awkward, concession, "Whoopsy!" The gale-force ECF winds will blow the clouds of lying "Truth Ads" and nicotine-blocking drugs away, and the beams of sanity shall return. A new epiphany. A new game. A new day.
Who has the tissues? Right.
I'm taking a fresh hit off my BE103... that's better...

This, and other like forums, are the hope we have now.timmah34233 said:

We need to multiply numbers so that our voices can not be dismissed.
We need to carry our passion for our very lives with us on this journey.
We need to make our voices heard, in greater and greater numbers.
We need to not roll over and die, both literally and figuratively.
