300. with asthma don't live in a big city then

Sat May 25, 2013, 07:56 PM

May 2013

and dont get around cut grass, hay and more things that I could list..

I had COPD from smoking and now its gone from using the ecig, I was choking my own mucus being produced in my lungs. I coughed all the time, after 17 days of using the e-cig I no long cough and the mucus was gone, my lung capacity is getting better as days go by. I couldn't make it up a flight of stairs before starting the e-cig now I can.
my allergies are much much better and my borderline with activity asthma is gone.

I am addicted to nicotine yes but thats not really a bad thing no worse than being addicted to caffeine. I can live with that. If I wanted to I could decrease my dosage of nicotine slowly and go to 0mg of nicotine in my e-cig.

BTW the Propylene glycol is a germicide that is one of the things used in e-juice.
I worked in a pharmacy for 21 years I understand drugs and understand numbers when presented in a study. The vaping community want to know the safety of what they are doing, they dont want to have jumped from the frying pan into the fire so to speak.

So are you for or against? Iggo May 2013 #14

Against an ecig ban? I'm against it. SirRevolutionary May 2013 #18

Why do you spout this lie every time this discussion comes up? TransitJohn May 2013 #301

I'm curious as to how much nicotine the "smoker" exhales customerserviceguy May 2013 #13

Smoking bans aren't due to nicotine exhalation. It's the DevonRex May 2013 #22

The vapor from e-cigs can carry contaminants into the lungs just as smoke can. pnwmom May 2013 #256

Since the research hasn't been done to show what's in the vapor pnwmom May 2013 #35

It seems self-evident. MrSlayer May 2013 #38

What could be in the vapor? ohheckyeah May 2013 #79

Stay Clear Of Restaurants Then... KharmaTrain May 2013 #108

They sued because they did not want to be a smoking cessation product. jeff47 May 2013 #89

AND because they didn't want to have to provide the safety research pnwmom May 2013 #92

Its important to note... beevul May 2013 #194

It isn't that "nobody wants to look at these studies." pnwmom May 2013 #347

no doubt you are correct jamiea99 May 2013 #371

"...they're regulated." With "second-hand smoking" laws? Explain. Eleanors38 May 2013 #102

No -- nicotine patches are regulated by the FDA pnwmom May 2013 #105

No. Current law regarding use is through secondhand smoke. Eleanors38 May 2013 #135

kind of but not quite jamiea99 May 2013 #372

it was illegally confiscated Tyhanna Jun 2013 #381

they make cartomizers for thc delivery now.. frylock May 2013 #23

e-doobies! Buns_of_Fire May 2013 #132

I can't imagine how they could justify banning them. It was second hand smoke that virgogal May 2013 #28

They classify themselves as tobacco products in order to avoid pnwmom May 2013 #31

i think they are regulated by the FDA Boom Sound 416 May 2013 #42

Tobacco products are not regulated by the FDA??? opiate69 May 2013 #56

If they were regulated the same as other products, they would be off the market. pnwmom May 2013 #60

I know I'm right. And you have been consistently wrong in this discussion. opiate69 May 2013 #63

Congratulations, Opiate!!! Mariana May 2013 #75

Thanks, Mariana! And yep ... it feels awesome! opiate69 May 2013 #150

good luck Boom Sound 416 May 2013 #84

Vapor can also be inhaled by non-smokers. pnwmom May 2013 #47

So we ban stuff that is not proven harmless? Quite a leap, there. Eleanors38 May 2013 #104

We are justified in banning public smoking of e-cigarettes pnwmom May 2013 #106

Yours is a declaration of danger until proven otherwise, Eleanors38 May 2013 #134

So I suppose you're also against the Environmental Protection Agency pnwmom May 2013 #156

No. The EPA makes its case on pollutants, THEN proceeds to regulate. Eleanors38 May 2013 #171

The EPA has already made the case on formaldehyde, for example, pnwmom May 2013 #172

Yeah...stuff from 09 when the industry was in its infancy...thats what I thought. beevul May 2013 #196

Nothing important has changed since 2009 except they've sold millions pnwmom May 2013 #202

And with a single post, you lose what illusion of credibility you had. beevul May 2013 #205

You've consistently refused to produce any links to any research pnwmom May 2013 #207

Uh huh. beevul May 2013 #216

Bully for you! I'm glad you found a safer product for your own use. pnwmom May 2013 #217

LOL. beevul May 2013 #220

No, the onus is not on me because it's already classified, by the manufacturer's choice, pnwmom May 2013 #222

ROFL. beevul May 2013 #227

ROFL. We ALREADY restrict tobacco products in public spaces. pnwmom May 2013 #229

No. beevul May 2013 #232

Not all Tyhanna May 2013 #284

From your own county ordinance: bighart May 2013 #240

The use of electronic smoking devices is prohibited in public and work places. pnwmom May 2013 #289

not in all places in the US Tyhanna May 2013 #292

True. We were out in front banning regular cigarettes in public and work spaces here pnwmom May 2013 #294

uggg Tyhanna May 2013 #298

It IS up to the FDA to approve them because the FDA regulates anything containing NICOTINE. pnwmom May 2013 #309

you still dont get that Tyhanna May 2013 #312

I wouldn't trust the regulatory agencies either. iemitsu May 2013 #339

so you believe that gasp is truthful? Tyhanna May 2013 #338

You don't "smoke" an e-cigarette Cal Carpenter May 2013 #155

Whether the contaminants come in smoke or vapor is not important. pnwmom May 2013 #157

It is extremely important in the context Mariana May 2013 #158

No, because any ban can be written as simply as the one I posted above. pnwmom May 2013 #162

Why do you continue to lie, when your assertions have been proven wrong? opiate69 May 2013 #163

They supported the lawsuit of the manufacturer who sued the FDA pnwmom May 2013 #164

Still wrong... opiate69 May 2013 #168

No, I already posted the link so I'm not going to do it again, pnwmom May 2013 #169

Bans can be written that way, but most of them haven't been. Mariana May 2013 #179

Many of them apply to smoke and vapors. NJ for example. pnwmom May 2013 #183

where there is no fire there is no smoke, so hence you cant smoke something that doesnt smoke. Tyhanna May 2013 #305

E-Cigs take state cig tax revenue away. They dont like them ErikJ May 2013 #48

Why should they? They sued to be classified as tobacco products, pnwmom May 2013 #107

OMG. Tax the rich not the e-cigs! ErikJ May 2013 #109

But they aren't cigarettes Mariana May 2013 #116

They are legally now classified as tobacco products pnwmom May 2013 #117

Certainly they can be taxed. Mariana May 2013 #119

Many smoking bans DO apply to e-cigarettes. pnwmom May 2013 #120

Sure they do. Mariana May 2013 #123

Washington was one of the first states to have public smoking bans. pnwmom May 2013 #126

See, you have it backwards. beevul May 2013 #195

No, you do. Nicotine is already a regulated drug. That's been the case for decades. pnwmom May 2013 #307

you just dont get it Tyhanna May 2013 #311

I'm not questioning the legal power... beevul May 2013 #319

What the fuck does libertarian Democrat or progressive have to do with it? beevul May 2013 #331

how many times do I have to say this Tyhanna May 2013 #324

Every time someone posts a thread related to e-cigs Mariana May 2013 #336

You're right. beevul May 2013 #337

Thanks! Tyhanna May 2013 #345

FDA cant do that Tyhanna May 2013 #325

I really want to see someone challenge the legality of such laws. bighart May 2013 #144

Since the manufacturers have failed to provide safety data to the FDA pnwmom May 2013 #146

When "smoking" is legally defined as: bighart May 2013 #152

It all depends on how the ban is worded. No one has objected to it in my state. pnwmom May 2013 #165

smokeless tobacco is also tobacco products to Tyhanna May 2013 #306

how many studies do you want done? Tyhanna May 2013 #293

I want whatever studies need to be done to comply with FDA regulations pnwmom May 2013 #295

what regulations?? Tyhanna May 2013 #299

Formaldehyde? Cite it. beevul May 2013 #87

The manufacturers are refusing to do the testing, pnwmom May 2013 #97

You keep saying that, and continue not to substantiate it. beevul May 2013 #110

No e-cigarette manufacturer has applied to the FDA for approval. pnwmom May 2013 #112

My that must have been heavy.... beevul May 2013 #114

The real question is which one of them has done the testing? pnwmom May 2013 #115

Is there nicotine in the exhaled vapor, and is it harmful? RedCappedBandit May 2013 #175

The manufacturers have not done the research to show what is in the vapor, pnwmom May 2013 #218

Research on air quality around vapers has. RESEARCH HERE! beevul May 2013 #224

Great. An actual study. So they should submit this and other required data pnwmom May 2013 #226
