General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Do smoking bans apply to e-cigarettes? [View all]cigarette smoke that last in the air for 30 + min and vapor from an e-cigarette that last in the air 11 seconds that doesn't have 4000+ chemicals in it are two different things.
its not up to the FDA to approve them don't you understand that? they are not a drug delivery device. The FDA can only set standards for them. Its up to each state, county, city how they want to treat them. And its the localities that are the ones saying they should be treated like cigarettes and that is what we are fighting every day from happening. We don't want to be pushed back in the shadows, have to be with the smokers where we vape, we don't want second hand smoke. We are smoke free and intend on staying that way. We hate smoking as much as a non-smoker. This is what you don't understand.
What if the e-cig was called something else like personal vaporizer (that is what people that use them call them) and it didn't look like a cigarette, ( mine doesn't) and it gave off no vapor ( vapor can be held in) then what would you think.
I understand cigarette manufactures I don't either. But I do trust the research and development that has gone on with the e-cigarette. The cigarette manufactures have nothing to do with the research and development of ecigs they just jumped on the bandwagon this year. E cigs have been around for 10 years. Was invented by a chinese pharmacist for his sick father to get him away from cigarettes.
This is by the smokers (now smoke-free) for the smokers to get them off cigarettes.
