Michael L. Marlow: FDA should butt out of e-cigarette therapy

I’ve been off tobacco for 7 months now because of the e-cig. You can vary the nicotine level from 32mg to 0mg. I prefer the tobacco flavor but there is every flavor imaginable. A FReeper I’m friends with on FB recommended one to me and I love mine. F the FDA. Do they tax Nicorette like cigarettes?

Now the new e-joint coming out! THC based liquid for use in an e-cig gizmo that atomizes instead of vaporizes. Believe its just being released this week. You still have to do the extraction of active ingredient's yourself if not bought under a Medical Marijuana prescription through a dispensary. This will probably change the whole picture of the MM market, I for one would not hesitate to buy my elderly father one if it would mitigate some pain and cut back on his prescription pain pills, He would never smoke pot, from a different generation.

GenXVapor's Great Melonballs of Fire is hard on the equipment, but has become a standard for me. All of their liquids are hard on cartos, but have incredibly good flavors.

My wife would chainsmoke on the way to work - I picked up an e-cigarette kit for the both of us, simply to use in the car. Within 2 weeks, we had each dropped 90 percent of our smoking. Within a month, we had both ceased to smoke cigarettes completely, without any intention to quit smoking at all.

I remember a long time ago the standard for the basis of any public law had to be there being existing harm to others that had to be mitigated through a change in the law. That standard slipped away in the rush to demonize various things. I'd love to see some real challenges to these laws as they have no real basis in public law to begin with. I guarantee that my exhalation of vapor contains less toxicity than the cloud of perfume that wafts around so many women.

And admittedly, it is rather nice to be able to take a draw while enjoying a beer and watching a game.
