Here are some actual facts for everyone:

- I smoked for 30 years and tried every method available, this is the only thing that worked for me.

- There was finally a recent study done that showed vaporizers (they aren't e-cigs at all) are no more harmful than coffee. ref: http://www.licensetovape.com/are-electronic-cigarettes-harmful/

- That "barrel of poison" they refer to amounts to me using about 60ml (2 oz) per month and I am a very heavy user.

- That 60ml/month that I use is only 1.8% nicotine. The rest consists of vegetable glycerine and Propylene glycol, the same stuff found in a lot of baking recipes. In the state it is used, it is only poisonous to pets and children and should be handled and stored accordingly. An adult would have to swallow quite a bit of it to be fatal... and trust me, I'm pretty sure you would throw up before you got that far. It should be noted that pure nicotine is seriously hazardous and can only be handled in a lab and when using proper equipment and a vac hood, etc. It's really nasty stuff. Nobody buys this except manufacturers and nobody would care if the sale of it was confined to certified handlers. We (vapers) simply have no need for high strength pure nicotine.

This whole campaign is about taxes and control. The nazi anti-smokers will of course oblige in attacking it because it LOOKS like you are smoking... proving once again, it never was about anyone's health.

They forced me to quit by taxing me until my ass hurt, then when I quit, they start whining about the money they are losing. That's all after they want to squash the very tool I used to quit smoking the cigarettes they forced me off of. I've been smoke free for 8 months now and if this becomes unavailable, I'll most likely fall back to smoking again. Sure, call it my fault and I'll take my share of the blame, but this anti campaign should speak volumes regarding what is REALLY going on. It's not about smoking at all. It's about taxes and control and I'm damn sick of it
