We all knew this, but....

A nice article from the "American Journal of Preventive Medice"
http://www.ajpm-online.net/webfiles/images/journals/amepre/AMEPRE3013.pdf

It tends to validate what we have known for a LONG time, that vaping is a good smoking cessation tool its a good, short read and its nice to see some people in the medical profession realize what is happening here!

my father has been a doctor for 50 years. he hands our cards out to all of his patients who won't quit analogs. he belives in e-cigs that much. that's all the credibility I require to know we are doing a good thing...

I should print it off and bring it to the lung doctor when I go on the 23rd.

LOL, you should sammeedog! would be nice to be armed with that if your Dr. is one of those ignorant of e-cigs and the unequalled success rate it has for those wanting to quit smoking. Some Dr's seem very open, even welcoming of them if it helps people quit analogs, such as Davids dad My wife used to work for a highly regarded Cardiologist and we are still friends with he and his wife... he was and IS very intrigued by e-cigs and the potential they present after he learned that they helped me quit after 33 years of puffing away on cigarettes, which he hated LOL, last I talked to him he was looking into them as something he could refer his patients to.

I'm not big on doctors, I haven't gone too much in the past, but things catch up with you. We'll see how this goes. My dentist was fascinated with it. I had to "light up" in the office for all the techs and assts.

I converted my doctor. She hounded me for years about smoking. 2 weeks after I quit, I had to go for a checkup. Hmmmmmmm....I could smell her cig smoke. I ripped her over it. She asked me how I quit and I told her all about me ecig. She never believed in all the drugs and crap that she was required to prescribe to her patients. She, herself tried them all and still continued to smoke. She knows that the stuff doesn't work. So to make a long story short, she has been "clean" 2 weeks after I started and has been vaping happily ever since. If she has a person who needs or wants to quit, she gives them my phone number if she is pressed for time to talk to them about it. I've had more calls from people than I can remember. I always enjoying helping them.

She calls me at home sometimes to ask about new hardware and juice. I know she loves FSUSA's and another vendor's juices. All is good.

I agree tg....hairball that really is a great story. Way to go btw, converting your doc and you take the time to speak with others about it when they call......way COOL!

We still laugh at how she always got on me for smoking and here she was doing it also. Since I smoked, I couldn't tell and then......busted! Doctor or not, if someone wants to know anything, I'll always do my best to help them out as much as possible.
