Words I have often said over the last couple of years, as we have been fighting on every level to keep the vaping industry alive in the face of the many entities who would like us to disappear. Over the last month or two, I have heard and seen these exact words across...
10/5/15 | Michael D. Shaw | HealthNewsDigest.com This column has already documented officialdom's unrelenting war on e-cigarettes. In fact, those articles were some of the best-read I have ever posted, so I guess we touched a nerve. The insidious tag team--comprised of Big Tobacco and the supposed public health interest groups against smoking--is perfectly evocative of the Bootleggers and Baptists phenomenon, originally described by economist Bruce Yandle. This latest attack comes...

August 24, 2015 | Raven Clabough | The New American Despite evidence that electronic cigarettes are both safer for users than tobacco and also help smokers kick the habit, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has launched a campaign against them. According to FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Ostroff, the FDA is looking to enact a “deeming rule” that would expand the agency’s regulation of tobacco to include e-cigarettes, which do not use...

July 15, 2015 | Jasper Hamill | Mirror UK Electronic cigarettes pump out vapour which has NO toxic effect on the cells found in human lungs, scientists have claimed.

To perform its experiments, the tobacco giant teamed up with the MatTek Corporation, which makes models of human cells used in...

July 8, 2015 | BY JEREMY B. WHITE | The Sacramento Bee A California bill regulating electronic cigarettes sputtered in a key committee on Wednesday as members made a major change that led the author to abandon his own measure. Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who had carried the legislation, said the amendment undermined its central intent by declaring that e-cigarettes are not tobacco products. “I no longer believe in...

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...

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...
By Dr. Farsalinos and Pedro Carvalho (material sciences expert) There has been a lot of discussion about my statement during the RY4 radio interview on Friday, May 22 concerning the dry burning of coils.

Such a finding would represent perhaps the strongest evidence to date that not only are e-cigarettes helping smokers quit, but that the magnitude of...
