The vaporizers for Weed are quite different than the E-cig I believe. an easy way for some athletes to get high from time to time while still maintaining healthy lungs.

Negative, no heavy metals found.

The Bill would.........
Include e-cigarettes in the New Jersey Smoke Free Air Act, which prohibits smoking in indoor public places and workplaces. It was unanimously released today by the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee.

The Health and Senior Services Committee of New Jersey helps fund NJGASP.
The now President of GASP was former Commish the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services.

The Bill just passed in Paramus changed the definition of "Smoking"
From.........
"Smoking" means the burning of, inhaling from, exhaling the smoke from, or the
possession of a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other matter or substance which contains tobacco or any other matter that can be smoked.

To........
d. "Smoking" means the burning of, inhaling from, exhaling the smoke from, or the possession ofa lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe or any other matter or substance which contains tobacco or any other matter that can be smoked, including electronic cigarettes.

Reasoning behind this from GASP's website.

The e-cigarette product is inhaled, and creates a smoke (as admitted by e-cigarette websites -see below) upon exhale. The heating element in the e-cigarette heats and vaporizes the nicotine/propylene glycol solution, creating the 'smoke'.
Therefore, since the product is 'smoked' and creates a 'smoke', our interpretation is that the product is not permissible for use in public
places and workplaces that are covered under the NJSFAA.
We surveyed some e-cigarette websites, some of which admit that their product creates a 'smoke', and that the product is 'smoked', etc. For example, Smokeless Revolution’s website admits many times, that the product creates a 'smoke'



If you read the article in the link I posted it will mention the " toxic ingredient found in antifreeze " , that toxic ingredient is found in regular cigarettes in quantities much higher ( think order of magnitude larger ) than the FDA found in some samples ( not all ) of the liquid used in Ecigs.

I could dig up all the appropriate data from the FDA for ya pretty easy ( found in the ECF forum that someone put a link up for earlier ) or you can look it up for yourself if you don't want to take my word for it.

The FDA would like you to believe that Ecigs are full of dangerous chemicals that will kill you, the reality is they found a trace of one chemical in one sample of the absurdly small sample size they decided to test and it just happens to be a chemical that is found in every cigarette made in much larger concentrations. It's a big .gov move to protect big tobacco and big pharm ( smoking cessation products ) so the .gov can collect big tax.

I'm curious to see one of these things in action because I still don't really understand what it is. When you exhale, are you blowing out water vapor or a scentless smoke?

The only thing more annoying than that is the people that believe they found a way to get around the health problems of smoking. Just man up and quit already.

you blow out pretty much the same thing you inhale, vaporized PG, same shit in smoke machines in a night club. Other folks can smell whatever flavor you use but only if you blow it directly in their face, it dissipates quickly.

For GG, yes it does negate most of the risks associated with the smoking/using of tobacco products, as you know nicotine is not a cancer causing drug but it's addictive like a mofo. I took the responsibility/consequences of my actions when I was smoking cigs and now I take the responsibility/consequences of them now that I'm using a personal vaporizer instead. I understand you don't like it but thankfully I don't really give a shit what you or anybody else thinks about me.:p

[george graves]

^fair enough. Just don't come crying to me when your nuts fall off.

I don't know if you have ever smoked, but you must understand that quitting smoking is a life-altering event for most people. Many are simply unable to quit completely. Patches, gums and medication have a relatively poor success rate, not to mention undesirable side effects.

Nicotine is a helluva drug....

[fiftytakedowns]

so is vaping bad for your lungs at all or not?

[Jesse30]

nope

[HarryPotter]

nope

I would say it is not "good" for your lungs. But it's not NEARLY as bad as smoking cigs. I'd say if a cig was a 10/10 for unhealthy vaping is a 2/10.
