New York vaping ban shows ignorance of policymakers
New York City’s indoor vaping ban went into effect the other day. As I’ve said before these kind of bans really don’t bother me because as smokers we should be used to having to go outside by now. What does bother me is when these bans are made on foundations of ignorance. Dr. Thomas Farley,…

Western Australia: Hand to mouth action = smoking
The government of Australia really hates smoking. They have quite the history when it comes to the fight against tobacco. So you would think that a country that is so adamant against smoking would lovingly embrace the concept of vaping as a way to get smokers to quit. Well, if the Supreme Court of the…

Less oversight than a bag of dog food
While I was surfing the net looking for vaping stories to talk about I found this one from NBC entitled “What’s So Bad About E-Cigarettes?” I felt it did a decent job of showing both sides of the vaping argument but again the anti-vapers are unmatched in their hyperbole.

It’s all in there, flavors are marketing to children, nicotine poisonings (due…

Exploding E-Cigs
How could I forget about the other fear tactic that anti-vaping crowd tries to use, exploding e-cigs. Once again we have another article from the masters of tabloid journalism, the British press. Now before any Brits get pissed off at me the American press isn’t much better but our friends across the pond have elevated…

UK: Keep Calm but Don’t Vape
Before I get to the article from The Guardian I want to address the picture they used. It’s also the one I posted above. Could they try to make that picture look anymore like real smoking? All that there missing is some nicotine stains photoshopped on those fingers. Anyway it seems that in the UK…

Fear and Vaping at the New York Times
This is exactly how you can tell that journalism is dead. The New York Times is supposed to be held at a much higher standard than most newspapers. They’re supposed to be a bastion of true journalism in a world of tabloids and misinformation. Yet when it comes to vaping this is the kind of…
