I saw this on facebook

[Malibu]

I saw this on facebook from one of my gaming friends and after translating little bits here and there on google I think they are complaining about them trying to control them. I hope so because I decided in the end to click "like"

It had a picture of an ego with an evod on it.

Hope I am right or I am going back to take my like off

"La Sigaretta elettronica fà male ai polmoni!!" L'ha detto il telegiornale, vi hanno dedicato servizi in tele e radio. Porca zozza come fà male mi son detto! Allora indago!!
Da cosa è composta, vediamo un pò: - Glicole Propilenico: E' un solvente utilizzato per far sciogliere sostanze nei liquidi, è usato sia in campo farmaceutico che alimentare, non è cancerogeno. - Glicerolo vegetale: E' usato per sciroppi, creme e cosmesi, nonchè come additivo alimentare, non è controindicato nemmeno in gravidanza od allattamento. Acqua: Non aggiungo altro. Aromi alimentari: Anche qui c'è poco da aggiungere.
Ove la si vuole c'è anche la nicotina: La nicotina non è cancerogena, da dipendenza si, ma non si muore di nicotina, a meno non la si metta in circolo in dosi notevoli (ad esempio 40 mg per via endovenosa) Come fà a far male la sigaretta elettronica? Allora continuo ad approfondire. Uno studio effettuato da un team di cardiologi afferma a tutto tondo che non fà male al cuore ne alle vene, di contro, immediatamente dopo, uno studio effettuato da uno staff di pneumologi tuona che la sigaretta elettronica procura danni ai polmoni ed alle vie respiratorie.
Cacchio! Il vapore acqueo è pericoloso! Ecco spiegata allora la moria di bambini dediti alla pratica dell'aereosol. Ecco spiegate le stragi nelle cabine delle saune, per non parlare poi di tutta quella gente collassata sui marciapiedi solo perché uscita di casa con la nebbia!! Approfondisco ancora. Lo staff degli pneumologi Greci che ha lanciato strali contro il vapore acqueo è guidato da una certa Dottoressa Christina Gratziou. Cavolo ma li stanno alla fame, non hanno soldi per curare la gente ed addirittura finanziano stè ricerche. Controlliamo chi ha finanziato realmente la ricerca...

SORPRESONA DI CAPODANNO...la finanziatrice per intero è la casa farmaceutica Pfizer. Accidenti quella casa che con le sue medicine cura il 90% delle malattie causate dal fumo, e indovinate un pò:...leggete cosa produce anche: Champix, farmaco commercializzato dalla Pfizer che ha per indicazione la disassuefazione dal fumo. Devo aggiungere altro o lo fate voi?

Hello Malibu, and howdy to all the nice people here!
I'm new to vaping (2 weeks without stinkies - go me!) and I've been reading this forum for the last few days but only found the courage to register when I read this post and thought to myself, "hey, here's a question I can actually answer!"

The facebook post you quoted makes fun of this research

www.mybestlife.com/health/News_2012/September/06092012_e-cigarettes.htm

according to which e-cigarettes can damage the lungs. The writer lists the main ingredients that can be found in e-liquids (none of which is known to be dangerous, except for nicotine, and then only in huge doses) and muses about the unforeseeable and hitherto unknown dangers of water vapour ("think of all the children who die after an aerosol therapy, not to mention the thousands of people who are killed by saunas or collapse on the sidewalks after venturing out in the fog!"). He then adds that, after researching the issue further, he found out (surprise, surprise!) that the study was entirely funded by Pfizer - the world's largest pharma company - which, among other things, is also the maker of Champix [also commercialized as "Chantix"] - an anti-smoking pill. Ta-daaa!

Greetings from Italy,

Hi Svaprilla, nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum.

[punisher]

champix lol i tryed them
Champix pills are not as successful as claimed and have been on sale since September 2006. As with Zyban they have some serious and unpleasant side effects. The UK Government's medicine watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, had received 3,541 reports of patents suffering serious side effects, including ten suicides in the first 12 months of its widespread use.
Reality success rate Actual success rate less than 20%.
'Reported
Side-Effects

In the first 12 months linked to 748 cases of psychiatric problems including suicidal thoughts and depression, 819 gastrointestinal disorders and 70 heart disorders. The US Food and Drug Administration began investigating the drug, called Chantix in the US, in November after it reported 55 cases of suicide and 199 cases of suicidal thoughts in just one week.

Boxed warnings about the risk of serious neuropsychiatric symptoms on the packaging of Champix due to reports of behavioral changes, depressed mood , agitation, hostility and suicidal thoughts and behavior associated with use of the drugs have been submitted to the FDA's adverse event reporting system.

In the first 12 months, 24 people taking the nicotine-replacement have died, of whom ten took their own lives. A further 213 claimed they had experienced suicidal thoughts and 407 said they were suffering depression.

There are now 165 potential side-effects listed on Pfizer's "Full Prescribing Information"

I think that is one that I tried nearly 2 years ago. Gave me very vivid dreams and caused me to vomit profusely. Had to come of them after about a week. Fortunately no suicidal tendencies.

Welcome svapirella

Now you've put your toe in the water looking forward to hearing more from you

[svapirella]

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!
I like it here - can I stay? I promise I'll behave
(By the way, English is not my first language - which means I could very possibly make a fool of myself with every other word I write. Should this happen, please don't laugh at me. Not too loudly, at least. A discreet snigger is okay, though. I can live with that.

<<< I like it here - can I stay? I promise I'll behave >>>

If you do decide to stay, you will be one of the few to behave!!

But do pull up a chair and get your feet under our table.

Please remember people, that no matter who you are, and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there are still some things that make us all the same. You, me, them, everybody, everybody.
