Vapers in Power condemn doxing attacks on our party officers
Vapers In Power, Fergus Mason
Vapers in Power note with concern that our press officer, Martin Cullip, was recently the victim of a doxing attack initiated by a notorious public health activist. We find it extremely disturbing that this sort of harassment is apparently, judging by the lack of condemnation from the perpetrator’s colleagues, regarded as acceptable by many who claim to have the best interests of the public at heart.

Vaping victory in Ohio: Gov. Kasich’s 69% e-cig tax defeated

Also included as a line item was a proposed licensing fee of $1,000 for all vape shops and distributors statewide. On June 28, the state legislature approved the Governor’s budget but without the included tax increases.

Should there be a complete ban on e-cigarettes in Hong Kong?

With Chan now stepping up as the new Secretary for Food and Health, it is expected the policies will only come sooner rather than later.

The Herts Advertiser, Greg Alderman
Warnings about the risks of vaping could have the unintended effect of reducing the number of people quitting smoking, an MP has argued.
Vapers! Appeasement doesn’t work and here’s the evidence
Talking Liberties, Simon Clark
A discussion paper published on April 28 by the Bulletin of the World Health Organisation asks, ‘Should e-cigarette use be included in indoor smoking bans?‘
It is of course increasingly common for vaping to be prohibited in places where smoking is banned and some countries have even gone so far as to legislate on the issue.

A Gathering of Crows
Robert Innes – Vaping Post
If you want people to believe what you are saying: if you want to avoid becoming an object of ridicule when you try to point out that you are the target of a plot of some kind, whatever you do, no matter how tempting, never, never, never say that you are the victim of a conspiracy….
Vaping 1970’s Style
Ashtray Blog
Anyway, he had this idea, he was a smoker and he was addicted to smoking, and he wondered what would happen if you just inhaled nicotine. Well, first of all pure nicotine was hard to find, it’s a clear odourless liquid in its natural state, so he had this dosage with filter paper and nicotine and he got the same buzz that he had from smoking.
