Great Video with one minor exception. It's the number of chemicals added to tobacco to make cigarettes. I am an American living in the Philippines.... I have been vaping for 1 1/2 years. I had a 2 pack a day habit. I am a retired electronics engineer, 68 years old and have a lot of time on my hands. I have done much research on the pro's and con's of vaping. I have read much research done by so called scientists that have no idea what vaping is all about. They have no idea about the equipment or the liquid that is used. The statement that really makes me angry is "They haven't been proven safe". Dah.......Cigarettes ARE proven killers and they still sell them. There are 10000 to 1000000 chemicals in cigarettes. 4000+ of these are know toxins, 70+ of these are know to cause cancer. The only thing E Cigaretted and analog Cigarettes have in common is nicotine. Yes if believe there should be some sort of regulation. There should be regulation with E-Liquid because that is what has the nicotine in it. Then they argue about the nicotine health risks. Yes it does and that is one of the reasons people use this to quick smoking. "They" say there is not evidence that vaping helps you quick smoking. All they have to do is to read the many vaper forums and they can get an idea of how many people have quit smoking because of E Cigarettes. The 2009 FDA study showed that E Liquid contained poison(1 sample of 16 contained diethylene glycol). Maybe it did but many tests since then have found no toxins. They should do another study now because these issues have been addressed by the companies that produce E liquid. Another thing that angers me is that with all of the talk that children will stand a greater chance of being exposed to nicotine because of all the different flavors. Not one of the anti E Cigarettes groups or organizations has mentioned anything about the tobacco companies latest product at getting people hooked on nicotine. They are little “flavored cigars”. They are made of tobacco. They have all the chemicals and toxins that regular cigarettes have. Their marketing is directed towards teenagers. Nicotine is a stimulant and found in eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers. tea etc........ Nicotine is being researched as a means of fighting off Parkinson's decease. the PG and VG are in most of the foods we ingest everyday. PG is used in many medical applications and in the ventilation system in many hospitals and clinics to decrease the spread of infection. PG is a germacide........ but PG is in antifreeze and that's poison. PG is in antifreeze, the toxic kind and the non-toxic kind.......The puffers used by people with lung disorders contain Pg. Ice cream contains both PG and VG, and on and on.... I have much much more information on the plus side than the negative side. This fact leads me to believe that the people and government agencies against E-Cigarettes are either just plain ignorant or in the tobacco companies pocket. What I am sure of is that vaping saved my life and I feel better than I have in years.
