1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    I think he said a lot, and I'm happy that he himself was very positive about then. He also mention, that the cigarette industry and the big Pharma, have the most to loose. And last but not least he told us that nicotin in itself was not harmful, he compared it to drinking a cup of coffee, stating that it was not the nicotin in cigarettes, that kill the people, but all the chemicals a cigarette contains, and that I think is a very positive statement to come with. He get some thumbs up !!!

    Very positive, that's what we need more people like this telling the truth.

    More research needs to be undertaken in regards to the adverse effects of vaporising nicotine solutions.

    Here is a science paper from the American association of cancer research regarding nicotines effect on cells.

    Abstract B16: The effect of e-cigarette exposure on airway epithelial cell gene expression and transformation.

    There is a more comprehensive article here citing the paper if your science knowledge is a bit rusty :)

    I am of the opinion that Vaping is far healthier than tobacco smoking but I don't think it's 100% safe, Either way I love it and I personally feel healthier that I did on 10-20 cigarettes a day :)
