Citizens of OK, RECALL HER.

She(Mary Fallin} is up for re-election in Nov. 2014, and with this anti e-cigarette campaign, she, IMO, is a McCain RINO clone.

A lot of kids are using these to smoke drugs. The vaping craze is big time in Florida right now.

That was going on for years before someone decided to use them for nicotine delivery devices.

I think those e-cigs are more ‘direct injection’ of concentrated water vapor, than simple breathing.

IOWs like a nebulizer used for lung problems like cystic fibrosis, asthma, emphysema and COPD?

There is no water in E Cigs - the two main components are propylene glycol and glycerin. Both are GRAS - Generally Regarded As Safe by the FDA. Into these fluids go a very small amount of flavoring and nicotine. Buyers have a wide range of nicotine content to choose from when purchasing the "juice" from various vendors.

No water - if you have leftover water in them from cleaning it makes a very sharp snapping sound that makes you check twice the next time that the hardware is dry.

The glycerin makes the visible smoke and the PG is considered best for the "throat-hit" or sensation that smokers enjoy when inhaling tobacco smoke. Juices are compounded in what appear to be pharmacy operations with laminar flow hoods to ensure cleanliness.

Its not a good idea to suck anything other than air into your lungs. ECigs are about 450% less damaging than all the stuff in tobacco smoke. I saw that figure somewhere, it may be close to that.

And same for pot smoke - not a good idea but better to be delivered in PG/Glycerin than to suck in a burning plant.

Not enough to matter. The virus causing pneumonia pours water/pus into the lungs and fills the air sacs, literally causing the patient to slowly drown from lack of air.

I lived in Miami for 5yrs, and have taken wet and dry saunas, but had no ill effects. I was just wondering how much water vapor e-cigs injected into the lungs, but apparently it’s not very much.

Dihydrogen monoxide is the #1 pollutant of the earth’s oceans and rivers.

I’ve heard that if you breathe it, it’ll just kill ya dead.

Terrible, terrible stuff.

Similar, but probably not as sophisticated as a medical nebulizer.

Not only that but it can be scary as hell when it falls from the sky! I can’t believe that some people actually climb into tubs of it.

Water vapor is water vapor.

Isn’t fluid build-up in the lung one of the side-effects of pneumonia? I’m not making any judgments; just asking about water vapor in the lungs.

Do you breathe when you take a hot shower? Have you ever been to Florida in the summer (and breathed)? Ever been in a sauna? Ever taken a whiff of the steam coming off your cup of hot coffee?

Forward that to Gov. Fallin’s office then send someone to get her on the record supporting legislation to curb dihydrogen monoxide pollution

My Doctors Office has a sign asking not to use perfume or cologne when coming for an appointment because it may bother people with breathing problems or allergies. Some one should tell the Governor her cheap perfume bothers them and not to wear it to work.

I can think of all kinds of things that may induce ill health effects. How about the fumes from the typical restaurant kitchen? How about the all the stuff that gets slopped onto our auto brakes that gets heated up with normal breaking?

When Big Government tracks down everything that is a health risk and eliminates their use, we will all be naked in cardboard boxes shivering in the cold.
