Can U beat it?

Vaping (ecigs) is POSITIVE DECISION we cannot allow big tobacci to kill.  Get onto pininterest, tweet, etc etc, and post against the negative campaign tobacco is making against us.

 

BIG TOBACCI....E-CIGS ARENT APPROVED BY FDA, OR SAFE?
TELL ME AGAIN, HOW ARE REAL CIGS ARENT CANCEROUS...?

VAPING ISNT SMOKING, IT ISNT SMOKE
ITS STEAM,  & AVAILABLE W/O NIC

 

public:  educate urselves

Big Tobaco do all they can to avoid people use ecigs. Their lobbies are at real hard work and succeed to screw the whole thing in Europe and now in USA too.

why do u think they make new laws to ban it ? because of public health ? cmon, we'll going back to dirty cigs.

that may change if the government has anything to do with it...now the goverment is losing money by ppl stopping cigarettes that they want to move in and start regulating the ecig stuff which means that ecig stuff will increase in price big time...its not just big tobacco companies its the government losing money off of ppl using ecigs...

Personally, I think eCigs are just an expensive replacement for tobacco products.  I've been off cigarettes for over 15 years, and I smoked from about 11y/o till I was 40.  I had a couple of years of "quitting" in there, too, but what finally got me off nicotine was the patch.  The patch meters your nicotine intake, reducing it over time.  Even so, after I took the last smallest patch off, I felt the craving a little.  Luckily, I powered through the last 48 hours to freedom.  And that time, I did NOT look back.   Best decision I ever made.  I look at cartons of those little pieces of shit in the stores these days totally astonished that they are over $75.00USD/carton.  What the FUCK?  Who can afford that kind of shit?  I was smoking a carton in maybe 8 - 10 days, and back then, I don't think they were over about $20.

 

And the gum, the patch, and I'm sure eCigs are MORE expensive than the tobacco products they replace. 

 

Nicotine addiction is bad for your health, and bad for your finances.  Just QUIT !!!  It can be done.  After over 15 years, I have absolutely no desire to smoke.  At the same time, I also know that it would take only ONE to hook me again, so I just steer clear.  But my point is, there is absolutely NO cravings now, or even curiosity about maybe having just one for old times sake.  I am free.  eCigs just hold you a slave to nicotine.  Because they mimic the actual smoking of a real cigarette, and deliver nicotine just like a real cigarette, I don't think they bring anything to the table in terms of eliminating an addition to one of the most addictive substances on the planet.  Yes, they probably do get rid of other toxins found in processed tobacco, but at a higher monetary cost.  If you quit, you get rid of the addition AND the money suck.

 

IMHO.

well whatever works for u Mot, but u are wrong.

 

most of the ecig users lower their nicotine level through time. its way cheaper than any tobacco product, and actually nicotine isnt that bad for our health.

it has actually lot of benefits, but its considered as poison because it can lethal at high dose. but a small dose of nicotine / day give u some benefit. a small dose.

there is even a debate about nicotine beeing not really addictive.

actually what makes u addicted to cigs are more the 4000 different chemicals they put in those '' tobacco product '' unlike what u can find in nicotine liquids for vaping.

the nicotine isnt really the problem in a cig anyway, its more the tar and all the other dirty chemicals.

to be clear, studies about nicotines show that nicotine isnt addictive alone. it needs some other chemicals and sugar to be addictive.

 

sources:

- Journal of Neuroscience

-  proffessor Jean-Pol Tassin from the Neurobiology from Inserm, Lauréat of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP)

- ...

 

i cant translate all in english but to be clear nicotine alone isnt addictive, it needs sugar and it needs to be burned to create  monoamine-oxydases molecules, the association of those  monoamine-oxydases molecules with nicotine create the addiction.

 

in ecigs, even with sugarasih liquids, u dont have  monoamine-oxydases formations as it is not burned.

not said like this though, nicotine can participate in some tumor grows, it doesnt give cancer, tar and the other chemicals contained in tobacco does, chemicals that u dont have in ecigs liquids. The only thing in liquids that can be dangerous is the formation of acroleine but that is only obtained at higher temperature than our ecigs can get to. note that u eat acroleine everyday when u eat cooked food.

vaping is alot cheaper than smoking.... 2k a year for cigs vs less than 400 a year for vaping for me.... and i have 2 mods. the health benefits are leaps and bounds better than smoking. and we do know the long term effects of vaping.... we know the effects of nicotine in the body and we know the effects of pg and vg in the body as they are commonly used in commercial foods. nicotine is a relative of caffine. it is a vasoconstrictor. the most dangerous affect of nicotine is that it is a vasoconstrictor. Any chemical can cause cancer.

And y'all might be right about the cost of eCigs being lower than tobacco products.  I really don't know.  What I do know is that the gum and the patch were significantly more expensive than the cigarettes they helped you get away from, but I just accepted that as the cost of detoxing.  I made what was possibly a wrong assumption on the cost of eCigs based on my experience of other cessation products.

bottom line, tobacco is bad, ecigs can help u and is way less dangerous. Switch or stop for your health benefit. period.

and like i said if other methods is working for u, its fine, but dont hate the others that want something else.

I'm not hating on anyone!  It's quite the opposite, actually!  And I'm concerned that you seem hell-bent on believing there is some sort of health benefit to nicotine when that's just patently absurd, not to mention dangerous to your health.  But hey, each to his own.  Enjoy!

well what can i say...
if u believe something that is wrong and then says absurd things like i need to wake up and that " someone's been feeding me a line of shit that i've been swallowing hook line and sinker ", i dont know if that hating, but its close, and its even more absurd when u say that to someone who is researching on the topic for about 2 years.

yes there are benefits to nicotine, saying the opposite just prove u dont know nothing about it and that u didnt do any research.

 

Im gona give u a simple example, then come back to me and tell me i need to wake up

Current evidence for neuroprotective effects of nicotine and caffeine against Parkinson's disease. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11772120

this is my friend a benefit to our health, isnt it ?

or someone's been feeding me a line of shit that i've been swallowing hook line and sinker again ?

no matter how u quit, the goal is to quit smoking the bad stuff. 30 years is a lot, too much for a lot of people, cancer develop mostly after 15-20 years. quit as soon as u can/want, with patches, ecigs or just with a strong envy if possible. But please do not ban something that helped/saved and still help/save millions of people.

the manufacturers dont release the recipy because its the flavour they wanna keep for themselves. Do you know what is in the coca cola ?

no they only release 'plant extracts'

 

from the studies, we do know what chemicals are in it.

its simple, u got PG, VG, flavoring, sometimes a bit of water, or alcool, sometimes u get some sugarish additives, stuffs like that.

thats not really important actually, whats important is what u inhale and the chemical formations resulting from the processus.

as i mention before, there is no combustion, but the liquid get vaporized by heat, and therefore u get chemical formations in the vapor.

that is what is important to check. The most dangerous chemical that could result from the heat would be the acrolein, but again u only can get acrolein at higher temps that what u can get in our usual vaping units. u have other chemicals formation from the processus but way less than a real tobacco cigarette.

and btw some liquid manufacturers get their liquid checked by health institutions already.

a real cig countains about 7000 different chemical coumpounds, most of them are dangerous. The manufacturers even put poisoning additives and the FDA doesnt say anything about it, do they ?
