What would it be made with, whisky, Kahlua or something else?

Maybe an acronym like RHT as in "reduced harm transition"? So that would cover everybody on patches, gum, inhalers, HNB, vaping, snus, khaini (chewing tobacco)? It also keeps the focus on the key differentiator, which is that all of these forms of nicotine delivery are deemed less harmful than...

Tobacco flavours hurt my lungs, as did cigarettes just prior to me quitting. And I don't mean harm my lungs, I mean hurt them. As in a physical sensation of discomfort. RY4, Soho and other dessert tobaccos are OK, I'm talking about the ashy pukka tobaccos like Burley and Virginia. If they...

There is quitting the harms of combustible tobacco and there is quitting nicotine. It's not the same thing. Just as vaping needs to decide whether it is going to include those who inhale THC along with those who inhale nicotine, society also needs to decide what "quitting smoking" means. Does...

This gets stranger and stranger. Take this for example: My understanding is that the illegal cart manufacturers are sourcing their THC oil legally in Cal and other states where marijuana is legal. Why would this oil contain pesticides while oils used to make legal carts - and sourced from the...

True. And there are lessons in this for everybody. Scott Gottlieb asked the vaping industry to come up with suggestions on how the vaping industry and regulators could work together to limit sales to minors. The industry flat ignored him, he didn't receive any response at all. Now that govt is...

How likely is it that an infant could bite through the hard plastic of a cartridge in order to get at the nic? This sounds a bit fishy to me. It's more likely, I think, that they suck the cartridge and maybe a drop or two leaks out.

The allegations are, unfortunately, partly true. The RCP panel wasn't "mostly industry insiders" but it was revealed that at least one of the panel was on the payroll of a vaping company at the time. It doesn't mean that his input was tainted or that his views are wrong but it's not a good look...

True, @Timwis. I did a bit of research into this, which I outlined in another thread. This is a very murky and complicated business. I really feel for the legit THC manufacturers, their business has been shredded by these counterfeiters and refilling companies. I'm not sure how they will sort...

Blimey, this seems like a shadowy industry. In another news story, I found pics of the carts seized by the police during the raid. It included carts branded with three different names. I tried to google those brands and only came up with articles describing how all three are "street brands"...

Pro tip: if you want to link a video and have it start some way in, go to the point where you want people to start viewing, right-click on the red bar at the bottom of the screen and choose "Copy video URL at current time" from the drop-down options. Then you get this:

Well, this guy claims he bought nothing off the street, everything was from dispensaries. So even the vaping community's insistence that it's all black market THC carts seems at issue. I can't blame the medical community for being very cautious about this. If patients are telling them they only...

This is where the industry needs clarity. Take a look at this article for example. It is carried by vaping360.com and the headline is: The article appears under the general website category "Best vape cartridges 2019". So clearly, vaping360.com consider THC to be a legit sub-category of...

Let's put it another way. If the US media carried news stories about how wonderful THC cartridges are and how much they are helping the health of people who need to take marijuana medicinally, would the vaping industry still want to distance itself from THC and insist that THC has nothing to do...

I'm honestly struggling to see the problem with that news story. It seems that the problem is that the news media are including vaping THC under the general description of "vaping". Is this inaccurate? If using battery power to heat a coil and vaporise THC liquid into gaseous form that can be...

GrimmGreen gives some incredibly good advice:

Trump instructed the FDA to pursue a federal (i.e. national) ban on flavoured vapes. When/if that happens, red states will have to abide by it, whether they want to or not. So I'm guessing conservatives are a bit ticked off with Trump atm.

Here is a graph that correlates the decline in cigarette volumes shipped with the annual MSA payments fluctuating year on year but staying stable over the medium term. As you can see, the decline in shipments of cigarettes has followed a steady downward curve year on year from 1999, with only...

The numbers are going down, which is exactly what govt planned. As you say, inflation counters the reduced volumes of cigs being shipped so annual payments remain about the same. However, inflation applies across the 2000-2018 period, vaping sales does not. Vaping only really took off in 2014...

How has vaping affected MSA payments? This site tracks all MSA payments year by year, both the total annual payment and by the allocations received by individual states. Here are the annual totals paid by MSA at five-year intervals: 2000: $7.9bn 2005: $7.5bn 2010: $7.5bn 2015: $7.1bn 2016...
