The Assault On E-Cigs Accelerates

[Burnie]

Well at least at the end of the video they had some common since safety tips on being safe, but a lot of people do not pay attention to them. I first started vaping in 2009 (crap equipment), then full time vaping in 2013 (now I mostly use Snus). I only had a battery start to get hot once, and I was using an unprotected Mech Mod, the coil shorted and when it started to get hot I popped off the atomizer. Was not too hot to hold, but I still recycled the battery, no use risking it. Since then I only use protected devices, no reason to take a chance. I would like to know what he was using, "Vape Pen" covers MANY THOUSANDS of devices.

Possible Vape Pen Explosion

If proven this would be the first known fatality caused by a vaping explosion.

Are you sure it's don't hamper health?

Public Health England, Royal College of Physicians say it's very very unlikely too.

Even anti tobacco zealots like Stanton agree that it's safer.

Things have gotten really bad in parts of Australia over the last year or so - hopefully it isn't a harbinger of what the rest of us will soon face.
I'm hoping reason wins out over irrational fear in at least a few countries, but I've prepared for the worst.

I don't like e-cig at all. Do you have another method like- vaping or e-juice?

As an experienced vapor before switching to snus, that sort of thing is usually one of several things, False reporting, False story, wrong continuous amp discharge battery for the build they were using or a mechanical mod with the battery too low. To get an exploding battery it is generally the wrong type of chemistry in the battery for the amp draw required by the build. That would then be user error in my honest opinion.

Having said that there are an increasing number of battery companies labeling with false continuous discharge rates for their batteries. Only a very few battery brands should be used for vaping.

You've come to the right place. Welcome to SnusOn. I quit smoking 11 years ago by using Swedish Snus. Give it a try!

I am scared by seeing this picture here. This has happened by the effect of smoking. Am I right? I am also a smoker. Now I would like to quit and don't want to take it longer. So, please suggest me possible way to quit smoking forever? Thanks!

Snus is more convenient and won't explode in your pocket.

"E-Cigarettes are very popular and on August 8, the Federal Government put new laws in place regulating E-Cigarettes, hookah and cigars exactly the same way the government regulates cigarettes."


"Employees at " The Vape Shop" are upset about these laws because if they have used vapes to take place of their cigarette habits, they can not tell the customers their personal experience.


"The FDA has taken away my freedom of speech. I cant tell someone how this has helped me or how its helped someone else and that's my freedom of speech, i should be able to tell someone how this has helped me personally," said Phill Harrell, owner of "The Vape Shop." "New customers going forward i cant help them so they're kind of on their own"

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN REGULATING THE BOOMING E-CIGARETTE MARKET

"Representatives of the e-cigarette industry said the rules will endanger the market for products that have the potential to help people move away from traditional tobacco."

"Today’s final rule pulls the rug out from the nine million smokers who have switched to vaping, putting them in jeopardy of returning back to smoking, which kills 480,000 Americans each year and costs the U.S. more than $300 billion in annual health care expenses," Cynthia Cabrera, executive director of the Smoke-Free Alternatives Trade Association, the largest industry trade group, said in a statement Thursday. "These new regulations create an enormously cost-prohibitive regulatory process for manufacturers to market their products to adult smokers and vapers. It also limits access to the 40 million adult smokers in the U.S. yet to make the switch to vaping and cripples a multi-billion dollar, job-creating industry, the majority of which are made of small businesses."

"In recent weeks, the e-cigarette industry has gotten support from some public health experts. In late April, a group of tobacco-control experts, writing in the journal Addiction, urged the FDA to be "open-minded" about e-cigarettes, saying that the products are more beneficial than harmful and can result in a reduction in traditional smoking.

"We're concerned the FDA, which has asserted its right to regulate e-cigarettes, will focus solely on the possibility that e-cigarettes and other vapor nicotine products might act as a gateway to cigarette use," David Levy, the lead author and a professor in the department of oncology at the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, said at the time."

FEDS ANNOUNCE FINAL E-CIGARETTE RULE THAT NEARLY BANS THEM


"Under the rule, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration would have to approve all tobacco products not currently regulated that hit stores after February 2007. The e-cigarette industry was virtually non-existent before then."

"The Tobacco Control Act of 2009 sets Feb. 15, 2007, as the latest date by which all tobacco products would have to have to be grandfathered in. Mitch Zeller, head of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, has said publicly that he couldn't choose a later date, although industry officials disagree."

"That means nearly every e-cigarette on the market — and every different flavor and nicotine level — would require a separate application for federal approval. Each application could cost $1 million or more, says Jeff Stier, an e-cigarette advocate with the National Center for Public Policy Research and industry officials."
