Just like you, huh? Fail-safe method.

16. Vapes do appear to be safer for bystanders than actual smoke.

I say "appear" because I'm not sure all the evidence is in.

I was a tobacco user prior to the switch. Used since a teenager.

Vaping is absolutely a safer alternative than tobacco. It hasn't been studied extensively. I can only comment anecdotally.

I enjoy vaping. No cough, no phlegm. Oh - and I can do a moderately difficult 9 mile hike and feel good.

Cheers!

Anecdotal evidence is evidence - just not conclusive evidence (if indeed there is such a thing.) I am an ex-smoker who is still terribly bothered by second hand smoke. I've only been around someone vaping once, but I would not have known it was even happening if I hadn't be3n told. So that's my anecdote.

I can't say it enough. He is disgusting to watch, but it's not surprising that he's the red meat to Fox's primetime programming.

He's rude to anyone who dares to disagree with him, but obsequious to the point of unctuous to people in power who come on his show. He's a fucking toady and should be back doing construction...and I mean no offense to anyone who does construction, but that's what he did before he got into radio and then into TV.

19. It is quite amazing. He reminds me of a tv preacher.

I guess he can fall back on that. He could have one of those megachurches.

If I didn't have any scruples, I could do it.
