Frustrating News Article About E-cigarettes

Times Of India | Blogs.

This article frustrated me... In fact, I do not think that I was able to get through even one sentence without rolling my eyes.. It just astounds me that there are people out there so adamant to prove that switching from smoking cigarettes (known for causing cancer and COPD, etc.) to e-cigarettes (The Vape Stores tell eveybody what is inside their vape juice and have legitimate proof  that it's safe) is actually a bad thing!

What is it gonna take? How much proof do they need?

This article even goes on to say: "But the fact is that there is very little research on ENDS and no convincing evidence that they are effective as a “quit smoking device”." ENDS stands for Electronic Nicotine Delivery System. But I am a living, breathing testament to the fact that e-cigarettes are effect ways of quitting smoking, as are hundreds of other smoker's turned vaper's.

And ENDS is hilarious, as well.... I don't even buy E-juice that contains nicotine anymore... so where did this ENDS come from? Does anyone know? I understand that I am somewhat new to the "vaping scene" but I would not call my Vaporizer an ENDS since there is no nicotine involved anywhere in it.

And here we go again... another entire paragraph that I can't pass up with out rolling my eyes... lol

"In fact, with almost 8,000 different flavours added, including fruit and candy-like flavours, there is legitimate concern that instead of reducing the number of smokers, they will actually serve as a gateway to nicotine addiction, and ultimately smoking, particularly for young people. Evidence supports this — experimentation with e-cigarettes is increasing rapidly among adolescents, doubling from 2008 to 2012." 

Does anyone out there know of an adolescent that smokes an e-cigarette? Or have you passed one on the street?

I wanna know how it's possible for a CHILD to get a hold of an e-cig that their parents did not purchase!! You can not purchase any type of E-cigarette at a gas station unless you are 18 years old. And I do not know of many parents that would willingly buy there child an E-cig  that contains nicotine.... So how are they getting them?

And again with the nicotine addiction subject.... I know quite a few "vapers" and everyone of them has either lowered their nicotine intake by 50% or they have completely nixed nicotine from their E-Juice completely, like I myself have. I wouldn't think of vaporizers as some type of medicine that magically made me quit smoking... But I will say that if I did NOT have an alternative to smoking I would not have quit smoking cigarettes. 

To me... Vaping reminds me of smoking a hookah.. Just in a pen-like form. Have you heard them try to ban hookahs? I even know many non-smokers who love smoking hookah... Just because they smoke hookah does not mean they are gonna run and and start smoking any type of product that contains nicotine. And I feel the same is true of E-cigarettes... and if a non-smoker decides they want to try vaping, why is that a bad thing? If they vape with no nicotine it is not turning them to the dark side... IDK I just do not undersrand some peoples' train of thought. 

Okay I need to stop talking about this now.... haha I do not think I'd ever stop if I don't now! And please forgive me if  might have offended any one with this post... I needed somewhere to rant and vent... But I'm pretty sure that is what blogging is meant for right? To voice your opinion and share your knowledge with others....
