    I love the fact that this community is so caring and open. I have been a vaper for 24 days and am not looking back to cigarettes. I would love to win anything in this case. I have my first child due anyday now, and anything like this would be great because money is going to be super tight from now on.

    Thanks,

    Rob :unworthy:

    Are You A Techophile?

    One demographic I have noticed with vapers is an overall love of tech items, Phones, computers, applications, video games, etc etc. I expect that over 80% of active posters will visit this topic.

    With that in mind, allow me to share what is probably my favorite blog. A must on my RSS list. It is everything that I think a blog should be; short, informative and topics consistent with the theme. If a blog entry takes longer than 5 minutes to read, I am likely bored with it. Judged on this criteria, this blog is an A++, enjoy

    Cool, thanx Burn :thumbsup:

    Researchers Demonstrate That "safe" Cigarettes Are As Hazardous As Tobacco

    My cousin forwarded me this. What do you guys/gals think of it?

    RESEARCHERS DEMONSTRATE THAT "SAFE" CIGARETTES ARE AS HAZARDOUS AS TOBACCO

    Valhalla, N.Y., May 12, 2010-Using the same technique they developed to document the harmful effects of tobacco products, New York Medical College researchers have found that cigarettes made without tobacco or nicotine may be more carcinogenic because they actually induce more extensive DNA damage than tobacco products. The technique has been awarded U.S. patent No. 7,662,565.

    The research team is led by Zbigniew Darzynkiewicz, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology. Their study, "DNA damage response induced by exposure of human lung adenocarcinoma cells to smoke from tobacco- and nicotine-free cigarettes," will appear in the June 1 issue of Cell Cycle (Volume 9, Issue 11).

    Using laser scanning cytometry (LSC) technology to measure DNA damage response to the smoke from commercially available tobacco- and nicotine-free cigarettes, the research team expected to find the alternative products were less hazardous than regular tobacco cigarettes. However, their data suggest that exposure of cells to smoke from tobacco- and nicotine-free cigarettes leads to formation of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs). Since DSBs are potentially carcinogenic, the data indicate that smoking tobacco- and nicotine-free cigarettes is at least as hazardous as those containing tobacco and nicotine.

    The authors conclude that their methodology to assess the potential carcinogenic properties of tobacco smoke, based on measurement of DNA damage response as assessed by LSC, provides a useful addition to the battery of genotoxic tests for probing cigarette smoke hazards. Such tests, which can be applied to evaluate the effects of cigarettes and cigarette surrogate products on human health, can be important tools for regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration or, in the case of environmental smoke, by the Environmental Protection Agency.
