Too bad there's not one source for their 'facts'. what's the point?

I could make a website and make up whatever facts i want too. How is that thought provoking?

What's thought provoking is what considers "facts" and what another considers "made up information".What's interesting and thought provoking to me, is the intention of the message and the way it is responded to. Ive always found THat there is so much to be learned when one looks past "what" is being said to "why now and why here?" ANd when that seems obvious.... for what purpose perhaps? . ANd beyond that... do I really care or am i , more likely more interested in being dazzled by my own brilliant quip... or becoming absorbed in my own self talk....;lol... as if that needs to be stated... And I suppose I am amused equally by those that express irritation or annoyance by me and even more so by those that think taking the time to dismiss me is actually dismissive.... Ironically what I seek is something that if it were to occur I may very likely miss... what was the question again?

It's not...only cold hard facts are thought provoking... No what people make up.... gosh... that should be pretty clear....

I have no idea why people just don't switch to e-cig at least. Like the ones who are like GOD I HATE THAT I SMOKE BUT I DON'T WANT TO QUIT. Have it both ways heh.

It's like have a tofu hot dog. it's just not the same.
If people want to start on it I'm sure it's an okay way to go. But to transfer over the entire thing feels wrong.

Because e-cigarettes aren't approved for sale by health Canada and not enough is known about their effects. Some studies being done seems to show they could actually be worse and more toxic than regular cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are NOT approved by Health Canada for sale or use in Canada. The safety, efficacy and quality of e-cigarettes are still unknown.


While e-cigarettes are marketed as a smoking cessation aid or tobacco replacement, they are not approved for use in Canada. In March 2009, Health Canada issued an Advisory to Canadians NOT to use e-cigarettes as these products may pose health risks and have not been fully evaluated for safety, quality and efficacy by Health Canada.

Health Canada also issued a Notice to stakeholders indicating that all electronic products intended to administer inhaled doses of nicotine are considered new drugs and as such fall under the Food and Drugs Act. Under the Act, before any new drug can be imported, marketed, or sold in Canada, Health Canada must grant market authorization following a review of scientific evidence demonstrating the safety, quality, and efficacy of the product. The sale of these health products is currently not compliant with the Food and Drugs Act since no electronic smoking products have been granted a market authorization in Canada.

However, the Notice issued by Health Canada only applies to e-cigarettes “intended” to deliver nicotine, which has created a regulatory grey zone that has been widely exploited. E-cigarettes that do not make any health claim and do not contain nicotine may legally be sold in Canada.

Most of is is pretty common knowledge that we've seen cited in many other sources. You think the effects on skin elasticity, likelihood of lung cancer, and staining of the teeth etc. are not widely understood negative effects of smoking?

Lavinia ...
I have an e cigarette and it's awesome. Tastes great, no cigarettes, no nasty smell, no shortness of breath. May not be totally legal, or approved by the FDA, but they are a great choice for most people trying to quit cigarettes. I totally recommend them.

I have seen people "smoking" their e cigarettes inside. I found that surprising. Is it because there is no smell?
