This is the letter we put out for people to sign at the local vape shop. We mail them in when we get a bunch. Dear Representative Cole, I am writing to express support and gratitude for your bill, the FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2015 (H.R. 2058), which would protect my access to the variety of quality vapor products (otherwise known as […]

Dr Farsalinos released his latest study showing there is no such thing as second hand vaping. He looked for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in human breath, vapor from 2 types of e-cigarettes and cigarette smoke as well as the exhaled versions of these. Exhaled vapor showed no more VOCs than normal human breath. Interestingly, ” there were cases of toxic compounds present in the […]

Other noted findings nearly half the population (44.8%) don’t realise e-cigarettes are much less harmful than smoking there is no evidence so far that e-cigarettes are acting as a route into smoking for children or non-smokers. Additionally, very few adults […]

California State Assembly Public Health Committee convene to vote on AB 6. Despite the efforts of Greg Conley from the AVA, industry leaders and voters, the committee voted to classify vaping as smoking.

In their survey, the CDC found that “while current use of e-cigarettes (in high school students) increased from 1.5% in 2011 to 13.4% in 2014, current use of real cigarettes declined from 15.8% to 9.2%. The survey also illustrates that when you […]

Analysis of the smoke from conventional cigarettes showed that the mainstream cigarette smoke delivered approximately 1500 times more harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) tested when compared to e-cigarette aerosol or to puffing room air. Of the 55 HPHCs tested in aerosol, 5 were quantifiable in an e-cigarette sample. The five analytes which were quantifiable were statistically different (p < 0.05) at levels 50–900 […]

California is an important state for vaping. Many of the large flavoring, nicotine, and E-Liquid companies are based there. Voters of California showed up to express their opposition to SB 140 so Senator Leno had no choice but to save face and drop the bill.

The Truth about Vaping – Episode 2 – Done by http://notblowingsmoke.org/ The addictive qualities and toxicity are being used as ammunition against vaping. Are these claims valid? Watch this  

These guys took samples of throat and lung cells and exposed them to hours of cigarette smoking vs vaping. Every hour, an average of 20% of the cells exposed to cigarette smoke died. Tissue exposed to vaping was just as viable as the control tissue (tissue exposed to lab air). http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887233315001228

Abstract BACKGROUND: Electronic cigarettes (EC) deliver aerosol by heating fluid containing nicotine. Cartomizer EC combine the fluid chamber and heating element in a single unit. Because EC do not burn tobacco, they may be safer than conventional cigarettes. Their use is rapidly increasing worldwide with little prior testing of their aerosol. OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that EC aerosol contains metals derived from various […]
