You can argue with WHO, CDC and FDA at this point. nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #133

I'm just asking for evidence of your claim Major Nikon Mar 2014 #144

I cited some studies nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #145

In comparison to tobacco, it's *nothing*. Marr Mar 2014 #175

The jury is still out on that statement nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #177

The jury is most certainly NOT out on whether nicotine is more dangerous than tobacco. Marr Mar 2014 #178

Well, then... I guess we should just consider them safe as unicorns nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #185

You want to do what with e cigs? Ban them? Keep them out of public spaces? What? Marr Mar 2014 #186

None is calling for a ban nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #187

But we have now research that proves you wrong nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #223

The FDA question is irrelevant to discussion of e-cigs being a gateway to tobacco cigs. Liberal Veteran Mar 2014 #232

No that is the CDC saying that nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #233

And let me add this for you, on the FDA vs the industry nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #224

So, the FDA approved cancer causing nicotine replacement therapy? Liberal Veteran Mar 2014 #226

You do understand the difference in delivery methods nadinbrzezinski Mar 2014 #227

So, 10-15 years of clinical trials. From 2009 that puts a release date of 2019-2024. Liberal Veteran Mar 2014 #234
