1 bratwurst  Jan 30, 2015 2:41:25pm

The problem is that the necessary science to truly determine the long term safety of this product takes time and money. Considering the number of dead peopled caused by the tobacco industry stonewalling the bad news about their product for decades, I have no problem whatsoever in taking what might well prove to be an unnecessarily cautious approach.

The standards for safety when it comes to selling a demonstrably addictive product needs to be high. If this slows the ability of the tobacco industry to sink their filthy claws into this field, boo fucking hoo.

And by the way, I am sure e-cigs ARE safer than cigarettes…mostly because it would be nearly impossible for anything to be less safe!

First of all it isn’t smoking, It is a nicotine delivery system.

I do, when that product reduces use of a much more dangerous product. E-cigs are obviously healthier than burning tobacco, and are much less disgusting. I had someone vaping right in front of me in an indoor line, and couldn’t smell it at all.

This is the same reason Marijuana should be legalized today even though there may be minor risks to use, because it reduces alcohol use.

It’s hard to see, given the ingredients in the e-liquid, (assuming proper regulation etc) - propylene glycol and glycerol how it could be any more dangerous than breathing in the warm vapour from many common freshly cooked foodstuffs, since these ingredients actually are in a lot of them. Are we about to start warning people about the dangers of huffing the aromas from commercially prepared cookies/pies?

Well, there’s the nicotine to think about as well of course, buts that’s always been regarded as one of the least harmful components of cigarette smoke.

As someone who vapes, protip #1: Never buy e-juice made, in whole or in part, in China.

However, “mods”, other vaping hardware, and accessories are pretty much all made in China or with Chinese components, but that’s generally OK, because you can’t really get around that; just do your homework, shop around, and get a feel about who the reputable manufacturers and retailers are (generally, if the price is too good to be true on a piece of vaping kit, it’s generally a knock-off).
