This shouldn’t be post related to my life but here it is:

I’m 30 year old two kids(boy and a girl-i really tried hard to get those two!-did a good job too!) one wife (for now) and as most of young people i tried many illegal substances.

I started to use everything and anything that could make me feel better or worst when i was 12….by the age of 14 i was a real  motherf….so you can assume how things where going further…..

Anyway i also started to smoke with 12- young don’t you think?The point?Well the point is i was screwing my childhood and everything else just in the name of feeling better(kids don’t try to feel better -count your blessings!)anyway…after years of using everything that i could get my greedy litle hands on, at the age of 22 i ended in one rehabilitation community  in Spain REMAR-thank you Remar!.

Was there for an year and i’m straight ever since-but i’m not the guy that counts years of being straight-i live my life and i don’t look back -only in purpose of -maybe-education of others-so my point is this-no one can make decision for you-either you want to quit smoking -or you don’t-if you try cause doctor told you or your wife or husband wants you to quit or any other BS beside your own decision to quit smoking is useless-it will make your life hard as hell and at the and you could be finished as closet smoker-telling  lies to yourself and the others-feeling even worst-er than if you would choose to be smoker regardless what people around you wish ,or tell you.

To Quit smoking is your decision and the fact is -there just isn’t any good reason for smoking and poisoning yourself and the others around you-there isn’t!So it should be easy to make right decision-right?Wrong!

It’s maybe easy to bring on right decision but accomplishing that goal is what makes it hard…when we fail it gets even harder,but….thanks to technology now we have Electronic cigarettes-we can continue to smoke -healthier and quitting same time!

Some people will say : yeah right substituting one addiction for another-it’s the truth-we really change our addiction for less harmful one (4000 times less harmful!)but the fact is -not all the people are the same and if  you need to trick your mind so you could quit smoking easy way -than why should you go harder way and torture yourself ?

I really don’t see why.I think that electronic cigarette if by far best way to quit smoking -or to continue smoking healthy way!

How the FDA misled the Public

The media, it seems, have been completely taken in by the FDA report, with headlines such as "Electronic Cigarettes Unsafe: Linked to Cancer" as pointed out by e-cig.org in another great post exposing how the FDA mislead the public and unanswered questions about the report (e.g. Why was no American e-liquid tested? Why was the press released delayed?) You can read the full post here: How and Why the FDA Misled the Public?

Proffessor Brad Radu is also covering the subject in his post The FDA Crusade Against the Electronic Cigarette. His analysis of the studies found that the: "the FDA tested e-cigarette samples using a method that detects TSNAs [tobacco specific nitrosamines] at about 1 million times lower concentrations than are even possibly related to human health."

Furthermore:

• The FDA failed to report the levels of these TSNA's, meaning their report has no meaning (the lowes possible amount is 40 parts per trillion)
• The FDA used a nicotine inhaler as a control product, but didn't test it for TSNA's, although it has been known for 20 years that nrt products contain TSNA's
• The FDA has never conducted these tests on any nicotine replacement products sold in the US for over 20 years

The blog post concludes:

These are not the actions of an agency that is science-based and consumer-focused. These pseudo-scientific actions are clearly intended to form the justification for banning a category of products that are probably 99.9% safer than cigarettes

Time Running Out

Obviously, there are serious interests aligned against the electronic cigarettes if the FDA can be persuaded to abandon its professional duty. Let's look at who is affected:

• the pharmaceutical industry, who sell nicotine replacement aids
• public health groups, who receive funds from the pharmaceutical industry and promote ineffective smoking cessation aids
• the tobacco companies, who could see their lethal products taking a hit if electronic cigarettes ever become really popular
• the American government, whose health plans rely on revenue from tobacco companies

Against this you have a handful of professors and researchers who are better at serious analysis than sound bites that influence the press, and suppliers and users who have little weight in a system where money and influence count above the truth.

A few blog posts aren't going to make a difference. Time is running out for the electronic cigarette. And a death penalty is looming for 40 percent of e-cigarette smokers who will return to regular cigarettes.

According to Tim Worstall of the National Examiner, the FDA is manipulating the results of tests on the electronic cigarette to make a case against a device obviously far healthier than cigarettes.

The FDA recently analysed 18 cartridges and found that one cartridge contained trace elements of a carcinogen found in cigarettes and cigars.

They also created more chemicals by heating up the liquid to 280 oC and then testing it, even though they found that the apparatus actually works at between 40 - 65 oC.

The reporter concluded:

Because some cartridges were found to be of concern the entire technology will be banned: or at least, that's what they're going to try and do. For the real complaint is that all cartridges which claimed to contain nicotine did indeed contain it and we really cannot be having people inhaling that addictive drug now, can we?

The real question is why the FDA are so keen on banning an electronic cigarette after one trace element of a carcinogen has been found in one cartridge while retaining cigarettes - known to contain tar, 40 carcinogens and thousands of chemicals?

Malpractice

Tim is not the only one to be attacking the FDA. According to Professor Michael Siegel, the FDA and other medical groups are "committing medical malpractice on a massive scale."

Michael points out that:

• the same carcinogens that are found in e-cigarettes are found in nicotine cesssation aids
• none of these groups are arguing that nicotine cessations aids should be banned
• in urging smokers not to use e-cigarettes, they are essentially urging smokers to continue their lethal habit

Taken In

Unfortunately, many bloggers and websites have been taken in by the misinformation.

States Blisstree:

Source: E-Cigarettes Not a Safe Option

Of course, who can blame these websites. The FDA, the body now paid by big tobacco to regulate the cigarettes that kill 400,000 Americans every year, are supposed to be responsible for looking after American's health. Which is precisely why it is so dangerous - and so irresponsible - when they provide misinformation.

There is a lot happening in the e-cigarette world at the moment.

Hypocrisy

In Health Canada in the Running for Hypocrisy Award, Michael Siegel points out the hypocrisy of an organisation that takes e-cigarettes of the market while allowing a drug which is known to kill - Chantix - to remain on the market.

FDA Announcement

Our friends over at E-Cigarette Org have an excellent post on an FDA announcement on the electronic cigarette. During testing one lab run by the FDA (currently the defendant in a litigation case concerning the electronic cigarette), the FDA found one cartridge to contain trace quantities of one chemical that is harmful to humans: Diethylene Glycol. This chemical is already in tobacco and in currently approved NRT's, a fact which was not mentioned in the announcement.

The anti-smokers also argued that saying the electronic cigarettes were for adults only was a direct marketing ploy aimed at children. Doh, what are we supposed to say - really good for the under fives? That would be sure to put off any potential teenage addict!

None of the anti-smokers in the announcement expressed any concern over the fourteen year old boy who died of a nicotine overdose after using gum handed out by a school - read the story here: Teenage boy overdoses on nicotine gum handed out by school.

Carinongens in NRT's

Tobacco carcinogens are being put in NRT's. Strangely, the FDA did not hold a press conference to announce this. And in a second blog post, Michael wonders whether the anti-smoking groups calling for the banning of the electronic cigarette will call for the banning of the pharmecutical groups niotine replacement aids. Hmm - where do their funds come from again...

Oh and e-cigarettes are a target for children, but the cherry flavoured nicotine replacement aids approved by the FDA are not, apparently...

Ash on the Attack Again

Ash is again attacking the electronic cigarette, and their attitude is made clear:

"Being somewhat safer than the most dangerous product ever marketed is hardly a glowing recommendation, and certainly not the criteria which new medical products must meet."

Somewhat safer, according to Dr Joel Nitzin, is between one percent and one tenth of one percent the risk of a cigarette - that's a glowing recommendation for me!

The same article also stated:

"E-cigarettes also deliver significant amounts of propylene glycol, the same substance used to make antifreeze."

And flour can be used to make bombs! He doesn't mention that propylene glycol is also used to make beer, wine, moisturisers, in food additives and preservatives or that the anti-freeze made is a less toxic version than normal!

One E-Cigarette retailers said: "We figured this is a no-brainer, it's healthier..." Think again! Where there are billions of dollars of pharmaceutical revenue (which provides funds for the public health groups), tobacco revenue (not known for scruples when it comes to public health) and government revenue ( tobacco taxes are an essential part of America's plans for health reforms) at risk, being healthier is just not enough.

Wow! This could be a loooong post…..If you ever tried to quit smoking you probably first tried with chewing gum-i need a smoke -damn …i will chew this  awful nicotine filled chewing-gum and you did.Man i just hated those they where hard to chew after few minutes and the taste was like shit with pepper,after few minutes of chewing -your fork would hurt you almost needed a pain killer-or cigarette-damn gum!

Then the nicotine patch-you would just put that sticker on your hand,butt,forehead-you would put few and you where calm-almost like walking on the clouds-YEAH RIGHT!What a bullock!You could have Million of “bumper stickers” on yourself-but the mind was hooked on that:-do i feel something?,something is missing!,what do i do now?Where the hell i’m going to put my hands?……

Did you try to chew tobacco?A beautiful little habit-especially for ladies-spitting everywhere,wiping mouth with a slew,drooling,talking with mouth full of tobacco and yellow teeth’s,with cute little crumbs between….but hey-not smoking!

Hypnosis-uuuuuuuu  – this one kicks ass actually this method if done with professional Hypnotizer is really good,but hey i could also be “pro-Hypnotizer” and put you in hypnotic state and repeat you :”yuck cigarettes,yuck,yuck,cigarettes smell,you don’t want to smoke anymore……”-the problem is you never know what hypnosis can do to you,some experts compare hypnosis like doing small gardening with big Caterpillar tractor-risky.

Cold turkey…brrrrrrr biting your nails, eating everything,nervous beyond recognition….

Ok,ok-i will skip all further ways to quit smoking an i will come to our favourite-Electronic Cigarette

As by now you should know that electronic cigarette have only 4 compounds-and non of them is aggressive as 4000 other malicious compounds that ordinary cigarette haves-well that is a small lie it haves Nicotine-if you wish and in quantities as you wish.

So when smoking electronic cigarette you inhale vapor with(or without)nicotine-in process of quitting smoking you just reduce levels of nicotine until you get to pure zero of nicotine in electronic cigarette and you can continue to smoke pure vapor with different flavors or nothing-just drop it away -and when stress comes in-just grab your electronic cigarette with your favorite flavor and inhale without risking different diseases and risk of getting hooked again on cigarette-how cool is that?

Talking about ways to quit smoking, this new way of quitting smoking will definitely be the most easy way for quitting -invest in your health and check Green Smoke now!

People sitting in at smoking clinics are amazed at how resistant smokers are to giving up cigarettes. Even smokers will sit and listen to horror stories of other participants in sheer disbelief. Some smokers have had multiple heart attacks, circulatory conditions resulting in amputations, cancers, emphysema and a host of other disabling and deadly diseases.

How in the world could these people have continued smoking after all that? Some of these smokers are fully aware that smoking is crippling and killing them, but continue to smoke anyway. A legitimate question asked by any sane smoker or nonsmoker is, “why?”

Simple cause it’s fun….this is joke(course)-Fear my friend,fear is the answer on most issues,we are afraid that we can’t do it,what we will do without cigarette,why should we stop smoking now-we have already lost our health….

To many sub-answers behind fear.Anyway it’s not important,we have entered in second part of 2009 ,technology is making wonders,and main wonder here is Electronic Cigarette -we can have our nicotine fix -free of  4000 carcinogen substances and we can enjoy in our addiction-anywhere.

Smokers today are “prosecuted” on every step,time when you where able to smoke anywhere has passed long time a go-cigarette is going to history -electronic cigarette is future-smoke whenever and wherever you want-without poisoning anyone-and if you decide to quit  just cut of nicotine levels an continue to puff flavored vapour doesn’t get any easier than that!

Quit smoking is really possible, healthy smoking is also possible but with Electronic Cigarette!Welcome to 2009-soon 2010.
