Hi all. I just posted a new article on my website and I am unsure how it would affect my authority. My niche is electronic cigarettes and my article is regarding possible FDA re
I think it is a good idea. I don't know about other areas but e-cigs are just as regulated as regular. They even included them in the state wide smoking ban on public property and restaurants.
But nicotine is harmless to bystanders. It's the 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes, which transported in smoke MAY affect or offend people. Nicotine in vapour (which it won't be because the one who vapes it will have absorbed it) is entirely harmless.
Unfortunately the people who inflict bans of this sort rely on the people being educationally sub-normal, or they wouldn't even try.
I know this and you know this. It mainly came about because people felt it "didn't look right". Personally I don't see how it's any different then the patch or gum.
Thanks Darlene. Even though the vapor that is produced is harmless to bystanders, not everyone understands what it is and will automatically assume that it's harmful smoke. I am always respectful of those around me when it comes to vaping. I'll ask if it's ok that I vape inside, otherwise I'll take it outside.
There's absolutely nothing wrong in writing this article. And as Paul says it would be odd if you didn't mention it.
Good post and good points. I'm a vaper (Kanger Mini-Protank II with eGo-T or a VAMO) so I'm with you. We've just gone through a round of potential regulation in Europe, which fortunately was kicked out, as some bright spark thinks they ought to be regulated as medicinal, although every company in the worlds insists they're an alternative to cigarettes, not a way of giving up. We won that round but on both sides of the pond we're dealing with tax and control freaks who have never seen an e-cig, let alone understood what one is.
As for your credibility in the niche, you'd have very little if you didn't bring up one of the biggest threats to the industry. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks for your input Paul! Glad to meet another fellow vaper here at WA. I do agree that it's important that I write about this since it's such a big threat. The more people that know about it the better. That way, hopefully, people will stand up and do what's right.
Been meaning to get my hands on a Kanger Mini-Protank II. How do you like it? You know, I think it's odd that they call it the Mini-Protank II...it's technically only the first version of the Mini-Protank. haha
Hi AJ, I think not to publish this article now. After the FDA releases any regulation, you can wrtie your thoughts in a post. You dont know for sure whether such a rule will be introduced. Then there is no need to write it before that. Also I think the post might have a negative influence on the readers. It is my opinion
Hi Japhne, thanks for you input. I was a little unsure about publishing the article myself, but I do agree with everyone else here. I feel it's necessary for me to post this so that my readers will know that I am aware of everything going on and not just trying to make a sale.
