A reply from Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos on Facebook regarding this study: Doc is right; another study, (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2010 August ; 19(8)Andrea R. Vansickel, Caroline O. Cobb, Michael F Weaver, and Thomas E. Eissenberg), used more straightforward methods: allowing users to puff away until they subjectively feel 'satisfied' (i.e not predetermining the number of 'puffs', but leaving that to the user). Plasma levels of nicotine, heart rate and CO lung content are then analysed. Oddly enough though, the study found no connection between nicotine content of ejuice and subjective feeling of post-vaping satisfaction... heart rate, blood pressure etc all remained stable only on the non-nic group, yet nic and non-nic groups reported feeling similarly satiated. Weird, eh? |

I thought I'd post the article 'undiluted' in case any of you wanted to read up on the fascinating methodology and analysis methods used...  The article is very relevant as it is possibly the first test conducted using such rigorous approach and exhaustive comparative methods (as some of you have perceptively noted). The vast majority of recent literature on the subject is mostly watery sociological stuff on 'attitudes towards ecig use among teenagers' or 'beliefs about health benefits among ecig users'. For the first time we have some kind of conclusive evidence that vaping leaves lung function largely unaffected, and that is surely good news. Unfortunately the tobacco lobby seems to be making steady progress and the possibility of a blanket EU ban on all 'electronic nicotine delivery systems' is very real. Remember that 'snus' (Swedish oral tobacco) is banned across the EU as a real alternative to smoking, which makes Sweden the only country in Europe where smokers constitute less than 10% of the population, all thanks to snus. I'd hate to sound like a scaremongerer, but what are the options for kitting oneself out for the possibility of a 'vapocalypse' (a ban on all vaping paraphernalia) long-term? |

Hi folks, New member here, in fact this is my first forum ever! I've been doing some research on the academic databases this afternoon while I impatiently wait for my first ecig (an Innokin iTaste VV kit) to arrive... I tried one a couple of years back, a rather primitive model which required dripping juice directly onto this filthy piece of fabric with cables coming out of it, and unscrewing and re-screwing the whole thing back together after every few puffs. It was an acrid-tasting revelation. I have since decided to give up on combustion altogether but explore the throat hit and cumulonimbus-forming possibilities of battery-sizzled, sweet-tasting fluids. This was partly triggered by the discovery of making homemade PG or VG-based tinctures of various psychoactive botanicals of which many of you are surely aware of. I'm just glad I happened to be alive in these revolutionary times. Anyhow, I have just found a fresh although rather lengthy academic paper on the effects of vaping on health. I tried attaching it to this post but I was told this forum had exceeded its attachment capacity, so I have uploaded it here (let me know if this works) dl.dropbox.com/u/74988568/Acute%20impact%20of%20e-cigs%20on%20cotinine%20levels%20and%20lung%20function.pdf pleased to meet you all, by the way! |
