November 3, 2015 | Guy Bentley | Daily Caller A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has blown a major hole in the case against e-cigarettes. Many of the most vehement critics of e-cigarettes fear the devices could prove to be a gateway drug and will raise the risk of non-smoking vapers being lured into trying the real thing. Critics also fear that we haven’t seen...
July 7, 2015 | Jake Bleiberg | VICE Photo via Flickr user TBEC Review Ray Yeates always assumed he would die a smoker. An adherent of Alcoholics Anonymous with over 35 years of hard-fought sobriety, the 66-year-old says that when he found out that Bill W., one of AA's founders, had continued to smoke through emphysema and dependence on an oxygen tank, he became certain that his life would end the...
June 20th | Matt Ridley | The Spectator UK Few people have heard of Hon Lik, which is a pity because he’s probably saved more lives already than anybody else I have met. Twelve years ago, he invented vaping — the idea of getting nicotine vapour from an electronic device rather than a miniature bonfire between your lips. Vaping is driving smoking out at an extraordinary rate, promising to achieve...

REUTERS/Phil Noble/Files By Jilian Mincer | NEW YORK (Reuters) - Significantly more Americans are using electronic-cigarettes and other vaporizing devices than a year ago, but most of those consumers are also smoking conventional cigarettes, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The findings support evidence that smokers are using both traditional tobacco products and e-cigarettes to deliver...
Saturday May 30, 2015 10:00 AM | Matthew Glans | www.humanevents.com Many elected officials are trying to undermine these efforts by treating e-cigarettes the same as traditional cigarettes even though they are completely different products. Banning the use of e-cigarettes in private establishments, in addition to excessive regulation and taxation of these products, is a shortsighted decision that ignores the benefits of e-cigarettes as a nicotine replacement. In a new...

1/05/2015 @ 6:00AM, Steve Forbes, www.forbes.com TIME AND AGAIN technology has come along to help solve big problems or blast away sclerotic, anti-progress government rules and restrictions. Think about Uber and local taxi cartels or, decades ago, how the invention of money funds upended Depression-era diktats that forced individuals to receive below-market interest rates on their deposits. One breakthrough that gets absolutely no respect–in fact, it’s aroused intense hostility from people...

Jacques Le Houezec,The Daily Star, December 5, 2014 We have long known that people smoke for the nicotine, but die from the smoke. Indeed, the vast majority of cigarette-related diseases and deaths arise from the inhalation of tar particles and toxic gases, including carbon monoxide. Though nicotine replacement therapy has helped smokers quit, the cigarette habit remains pervasive in many countries. The use of nicotine in noncombustible forms such as...
Electronic cigarettes (e-Cigs) are an attractive long-term alternative nicotine source to conventional cigarettes. Although they may assist smokers to remain abstinent during their quit attempt, studies using first-generation e-Cigs report low success rates.Second-generation devices (personal vaporisers - PVs) may result in much higher quit rates, but their efficacy and safety in smoking cessation and/or reduction in clinical trials is unreported. Method: We conducted a prospective proof-of-concept study monitoring modifications in smoking...
Office of Communications | October 30, 2014 Electronic cigarettes—a tobacco-free alternative to traditional cigarettes that generated more than $400 million in sales last year—have ignited controversy throughout the country as politicians and public health officials decide whether to include them in wide-reaching smoking bans.But researchers at the University of Massachusetts Boston have found that regular use of e-cigarettes may benefit smokers who are trying to kick the habit. The...
Where E-Cigs Land in Campus Smoking Bans by Brendan Frost In 2013, the Louisiana state legislature passed a resolution that requires public universities in the state to create a smoking prohibition on campus. It's up to the individual universities how to implement this, and the decision has motivated some universities to take a stance on electronic cigarettes as well. In New Orleans, Tulane, Delgado, Dillard, Southern University at New...
It’s time for public health officials to advise smokers that electronic cigarettes are a worthy alternative to smoking that can help them quit the tobacco habit. Most e-cigarettes look like cigarettes. But people who “vape” – use e-cigarettes – are not smoking. They are instead inhaling a water-like vapor that is free of the tar and the sky-high levels of carcinogens that make cigarette smoking so dangerous. Activists who...
LONDON Tue May 20, 2014 9:53am EDT CREDIT: REUTERS/REGIS DUVIGNAU (Reuters) - Smokers trying to quit are 60 percent more likely to report success if they switch to e-cigarettes than if they use nicotine products like patches or gum, or just willpower, scientists said on Tuesday. Presenting findings from a study of almost 6,000 smokers over five years, the researchers said the results suggest e-cigarettes could play an important...
