“E-cigarettes could be a game changer in public health in particular by reducing the enormous health inequalities caused by smoking.”
Awesome, thanks for this. Lots of skeptics of e-cigarettes but this should put them into the woodworks for now

I hope @jukebox sees this.
Problem is they want to tax ecigs like cigarettes hear in the UK. They want to make it so you can only buy non refillable ecigs from the pharmacy. Are you from UK @everhopeful ?
I have the Ego one and use the 3 MG nicotine level. The lowest level they have. I just like to be able to puff on it and get a little buzz. Now that a study comes out that shows how safe it is I feel even better about it.

I admit i’ve had some cigarettes recently. I’ve just been pissed off.
There’s a European wide ecig directive that applies to the EU. The scenario you talk about won’t come about. But the max strength eliquid you can buy will be 20mg, EU wide. As a smaller annoyance, tanks will have something like 2ml max capacity, but I’m sure we can import larger tanks from the US.
Professor Peter Hajek, Queen Mary University London and independent author of the review said:
My reading of the evidence is that smokers who switch to vaping remove almost all the risks smoking poses to their health. Smokers differ in their needs and I would advise them not to give up on e-cigarettes if they do not like the first one they try. It may take some experimentation with different products and e-liquids to find the right one.
Took me a year to quit, with ecigs. Lots of experimenting with eliquid,batteries,tanks.
Yeah it takes awhile to find the right setup and eliquid.
People who dog on e cigs are stupid. To put it frankly.
I get where they are coming from, they think people should just quit using nicotine.
I think ecigs should be allowed anywhere at any time.
It’s just nicotine, glycol(synthetic or organic), and flavoring.
I’m also glad to be done with nicotine myself. Still E Cigs have a lot of potential to prevent disease and maybe help people quit.

I don’t get ecigs. They don’t have the chemicals that cigs have? Nicotine, glycol& flavoring. They don’t emit chemicals into the air do they?
Not even close. People like to claim they do.
eLiquid uses base ingredients to create a smooth flavor. This base can consist of PG (Propylene Glycol), VG (Vegatable Glycerin) or both. Most of our eLiquids have mixes containing 70% PG/VG 30% to 50% PG/VG 50%. PG and VG are combined with natural or artificial flavors such as vanilla or apple which creates unique and satisfying recipes.

Non cancerous vapor.
These ingredients and their byproducts are not toxic or harmful. Nicotine exposure would be the only risk but that is a pretty minimal thing. Non smokers have been around smokers the whole time. This is far less hazardous than that.
In that case they should allow e cigs in public. Don’t see anything wrong with it.

Agreed, laws are going in the opposite direction. So it goes.
Not my battle any more.
How long has it been since your last cig?
This is day 6. About 130 hours or so.
I smoke Blu full-flavored e-cigs.
