Positive Light Shone On E-Cigs!

As for my second point, I believe you misinterpreted what I wrote (probably my fault in the way I presented it). There has been no study of this type performed (that I'm aware of), and I was speaking more to the BP and BT lobby groups in a kind of tongue-in-cheek manner.

Well BuGlen, it seems that you are just bound and determined to disappoint me today! Boo! Hiss!

Have you been talking to my ex-wife?

Wow! Awesome, honest, straight forward, factual reporting!! Thanks for sharing. I trust you started its own thread? You should if you haven't.

Thanks for the heads-up on this great article

ACSH’s Dr. Gilbert Ross, a close follower of the e-cigarette literature and regulatory scene, commented as follows: “Prof. Burstyn’s comprehensive analysis should help put to rest the good-faith concerns of some in the anti-smoking community who continue to doubt the safety of e-cigarettes’ ‘second-hand vapor.’ Unfortunately, for the bulk of the harm-reduction haters, this will probably have little impact, since they are refractory to science-based discussion, fixated as they are on their various perverse agendas.”

Well put.

I was surprised the numbers weren't higher. What type of gear were they given?

They were using the Ehlusion brand at 16mg strength...

That is a far better nicotine level than I had suspected. In a video of one of the "subjects" it looks like they had EGO style batteries too. It almost makes me feel bad about being suspicious of the motives of the study. Maybe there are a few folks out there really trying to study e-cigarrettes and not just produce propaganda.

It was satisfying, just not enough for daily use right? They needed everyday for the time they needed it, not just the beginning. Even so, they did quite well!
