[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 669691, member: 1963"] Well, other than the fact that e-cigarettes are NOT tobacco products, contain NO tobacco, only nicotine, and none of the toxic or carcinogenic principles found in tobacco... And this is the only study I've read that shows vaping to be a gateway to later tobacco use. Nicotine itself has been shown to have only a slightly more deletorious effect on health than caffeine provided the user doesn't suffer from circulatory impairment and isn't pregnant. Vaping has been shown to be the ONLY method by which smokers are able to quit inhaling the smoke from burning tobacco and remain quit of tobacco other than the use of snus, which is a tobacco product, though highly purified. The primary motivation here is not to ban e-cigs, but rather to tax the hell out of them. The burgeoning popularity of e-cigarettes and the huge numbers of ex-smokers turning from burning tobacco to vaporizing nicotine are costing government entities billions and billions in sin taxes. My question? When are we going to regulate, restrict, and heavily tax a deadly drug that not only kills hundreds of thousands if not millions each year, doesn't only kill users, but family members and even strangers who cross paths with users, costs governments untold millions in medical and mental health care, and is readily available and most retail food and convenience outlets. What substance? Why, alcohol, of course! Personally, If I had to make the choice, I'd rather see my kid with an e-cig or a joint of good indica in his or her hand, than a cigarette and a can of Steel Reserve in their hands. At least I know the e-cig, provided it has a regulated battery, and the joint, isn't going to kill them down the road. The cigarette and booze very well could. in my opinion, as a vaper who smoked for 40 years. [/QUOTE]
