E-cig not so healthy?

[minds_I]

Hello all,

I thought this interesting.

http://abc7.com/health/officials-declare-e-cigarettes-a-health-threat-for-california/495375/

I have been offered e-cig before and have passed on them. When told that its better than smoking tobacco. I reply since I quit giving Phillip Morris money some 14 years ago I have not had a need for nicotine. So why then would I want to develop a nicotine habit using an e-cig?

Anyway, I wonder if there are the same toxicology issues with vaping concentrates prepared for e-cigs?

Talk amongst yourselves, there is coffee and a lovely day old pound cake on the server I bought at Morti's ...You will have to excuse me, I am getting a little verklempt.

Pure misinformation.


They don't say the model of e-cig they used

They don't say at what temps or volts they were using to chemically change proplyneglycol into ethylene glycol... Meaning they probably used it on the highest setting possible (which you aren't supposed to do because it makes the vape taste like burnt dog shit).

Scare tactics probably employed by the tobacco industry who own tons of influence

glad to hear you're still on the e cig jam

I'm sure we're just getting some new, undiscovered form of cancer that will pop up in 20 years with these e cigs. But in the mean time, I'm pretty sure that inhaling just about anything other than hot smoke is better for you than firing up a real cig...

I agree^^^^ the mercury in my tuna might get me first....yeehaw

Those articles are scare tactics at their finest. I see those articles on yahoo news all the time. Then a couple days later, way down on the news feed( so most people wont see it) is another article telling the real truth about the "research that was done. An example is that a scientific experiment yielded results that put formaldehyde at 10x the level of a single cigarette per dose. Lumping all e-cig's into one catogorie at this supposed level. It was one brand out of I think 40 or so that tested that high. The rest of the brands tested at 1/6 of the amount of formaldehyde per cig per dose.

Then another article stating that the "heated vapor" was producing "dangerous" levels of the formaldehyde. What they didn't say in the article is that the "e-juice" was heated at a voltage extremely higher than ANYONE would vape at because of harshness and bad flavor.

Inhaling anything can't be better than not inhaling, but they are way better than cigs.

they prob used Chinese stuff ...lol..just about nothing is healthy anymore ,even the air can be problematic.....yeehaw

 

[hello/Banana]

i quit tobacco several months ago but still am pathetically addicted to nicotine,

- i noted a BIG difference for my chest, big improvement with ecigs, but they still make chest heavy when over-indulging.

have actually been able to run for the first time properly in years, also saving some money (still expensive buying eliquid...)

- can anybody suggest the best way to "quit nicotine" or how you have done it ?

should be quitting for health reasons, but am too pathetic...

THANKS!

hiking ,kayaking,fishing...after 8 here you cant get diddly but booze....yeehaw... i haven't relied on my e cig too much only one tiny bottle almost gone in almost 2 months...is nicotine worse than caffine???

Yes high temps is bad. A friend started putting oil into the cartridge with the glycerin juice to make a digital spliff and that helped him phase off nicotine. I quit once for two years, I just smoked a ton of herb every time I was fiening. When I'm terribly stoned I can't fathom smoking tobacco. Plus a good regiment of cardiovascular excersize and just staying away from heavy smoking and drinking environments is good.

I've been on the e-cig now since Dec 16th....before that I quit cold turkey for 5 months before relapsing to ciggies when a 26yr old family member finally died, Iwas offered a ciggie at funeral and that was the end of that.

I have went thru 60ml of juice, but it is 8mg/l stuff..

I am now cutting it down to 4mg/ml and hope to be nicoteene free in another month or so...

Been smoking my vape pen since January 1st of this year. I like the fact that I can list the ingredients in the juice. I love that I can deep belly laugh and not develop a coughing fit. Concentrate for MMJ patients only has two or three ingredients.
