Kinabaloo, I think you summed that up pretty nicely. I only started using WTA to find out if it would be a better cigarette replacement due to my failure in completely giving up smokes and watching the last few years as people that were motivated to quit using E Cigs fell back into smoking.
I knew for me something was missing and could see that in those that gave up. I went to snus which most turn their collective noses up at. Heck, I did myself until I started researching. Unfortunately, I'll never be a good testing platform since I fell in love with the taste and convenience of snus.
Nicquid has to evolve and mature. I agree that there may be long term issues with inhaling anything but air 24/7. There may not be, but why take the chance. I believe if we can establish what made smoking so enticing despite the danger and deliver it in a seriously less dangerous product that is satisfying, smokers will gravitate to said product.
I am looking forward to some testing on WTA which could alleviate some of the concern that a few have on these other tobacco specific alkaloids. I have no personal issue with consuming them since I had been doing so for 43 years in a much more harmful delivery system. However, I'd like to be more comfortable in making statements about it than basing my statements on common sense.
Things will hopefully change in time, but while the majority are unaware of the issues and the majority here are the minority for whom nicotine-alone works, the big picture will barely change.
Current (non-WTA) e-liquid is a failure, with a sucess rate of only around 25%. That might be twice as good as NRTs but to forget the other 75% is really myopic. Yet the reason for this sad state of affairs is clear enough.
As Schopenhaur said, "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ignored or ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
Sadly, I can see this process taking many years ...
The role of the other alkaloids in the effect and satiation has been known (published but ignored) for decades.
It is not a new idea; it is the wrong turn that equated smoking with nicotine alone that needs to be corrected. That was a very serious mistake.
WTA is not the new thing, or the untested thing; nicotine used alone is what is new - and it is untested long-term. And it's not working out too well. For most people the satiation and the benefiits are not there; only overdosing to little effect.
BT could redeem itself itself to an extent by taking WTA mainstream. I'd welcome that as the shortcut to a healthier future for millions. I think they'd be crazy to miss the opportunity. I;m sure the scientists there know exactly what I'm talking about; it's no news to them. Will it happen though? Or will DK, JC or TW make a move? I;m not a lawyer, but I don't see any hindrance to the move - it's still a tobacco extract/product.
I know my depression took few months to get bad on nic only, but I'm not risking feeling alive again to experiment. My Vmod holds 4.5 ml and I was going through 1.5-2 fills a day on nic only. By dripping WTA 5-6 times a day, my consumption is 3-4.5ml over the past month. I'm happy that I can put the mod down and do things now.
