Congressmen Steve Buyer, from Indiana’s 4th District took the floor of the House some time ago in opposition of the new tobacco legislation (which was passed and signed by The President). He makes a very good point about tobacco usage; “It’s not the nicotine that kills, it’s the smoke that kills.” He goes on to [...]

We have two competing products: The tobacco cigarette and the electronic cigarette. Both can deliver nicotine and facilitate the habit of smoking. But there are differences. The electronic cigarette is a reusable product. Cartridges can be filled over and over again. Batteries and atomizers last many uses. Obviously this is not the case with tobacco [...]

Matt Salmon, former Congressmen and current President of The Electronic Cigarette Association responds to the FDA’s announcement regarding electronic cigarettes:

Electronic cigarettes are not healthy or safe. Anything that you inhale is probably not good for you….except for air…..except air in any major city in the world.

1) Electronic cigarettes don’t produce any second hand smoke. In fact they don’t produce any smoke….they produce a propylene glycol based vapor, much the same as theatrical smoke machines, but in lower quantities of course. 2) E-Cigs don’t create cigarette butts. The Instead ECigs use eliquid to refill the plastic cartridges over and over again [...]

The debate rages on about electronic cigarettes, but what is this fight really over. Many public health organizations and federal agencies site the fact that nicotine needs approval as a safe and effective quit smoking aid. But why? As an adult, is it not your decision to use nicotine, just as it is to use [...]
