Learning About Your e-Cigarette
laminated articles by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 8, 2014  |  Bryan TX

This Space Age Technology could not keep me from it! I want to know what that atomizer does and how it does it. Apparently it uses a flint or a carbon filament to combine your juice with water vapor in the ambient air, with a slight electrical charge from the battery. When you suck, you get a tangible, palpable, lung full of a clean vapor that goes through your respiration parts, and out to disperse as vapor into the air, in only seconds. Wouldn't it be fun to find out that vaporizing actually cleans the lungs?! Eh?

MooPig e-Cigarette Department :: "Regulations"

VAPEgeeks Want to Know the Low Down
mashed articles by Pat Darnell  |  Jan 5, 2014  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

" ... Public health officials have asked the [New York] City Council to enact legislation that would add e-cigs to the 12-year-old law that drove smokers out of the city's taverns, nightclubs and office buildings, and forced them to satisfy their nicotine habits on the frigid (or broiling) sidewalks. (December 06, 2013. FoxNews. LINK) ..."

What is the low down on regulations for e-cigarettes? We at MooPig e-Cigarette Department have known for a while that this will be an issue for a couple of reasons. One reason is that cigarette makers don't want the competition. Another reason spins off the notion that nicotine patches, and gums and other nicotine delivery systems are gateways to non-smokers becoming addicted to smoking. Conclusions are unscientific, we can observe that gums and patches have not been gateways. Also, e-cigarette vapor is not smoke, so it doesn't compete with smoking.

Richard Carmona, 17th Surgeon General of the US, wrote a letter to NYC Council who recently fashioned regulations that includes e-cigarettes in NYC's smoking ban. Dr. Carmona, who is on the board of e-cigarette maker NJOY, voices concerns that banning e-cigarettes will "do tremendous harm to what is emerging as the most promising weapon yet in the fight against tobacco-related illness and death."

Those are pretty strong words for the NYC Council to put in their pipes and smoke... and besides "The American people do not want to be nannied." In a canvass HERE, "Poll: Americans Don’t Want to Ban Trans Fats, Energy Drinks, E-Cigarettes, Online Poker, Violent Video Games or Genetic Testing Kits:"

" ... Several cities have moved to ban e-cigarettes in public places, but 62 percent of Americans say electronic cigarettes should be allowed in public spaces. Thirty-four percent favor prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes in public (Emily Ekins. Dec. 13, 2013. LINK)..."

Reason Foundation - Out of Control Policy Blog and E-Cigarette Regulations Likely to Harm Anti-Smoking Efforts, Yet NYC Still Considers Ban: "In my latest Orange County Register column, I note that the wave of regulations local officials are enacting or proposing to restrict the sale or use of e-cigarettes is more likely to harm public health instead of benefit it, primarily by making it more difficult for smokers to transition to safer nicotine delivery alternatives, thus keeping them smoking longer. Here's an excerpt: The rationales for these regulatory actions vary, but often revolve around misplaced fears that e-cigarettes will serve as a gateway to the use of conventional cigarettes by kids and non-smokers, as well as misconception that e-cigarette vapor is as harmful as cigarette smoke to users and bystanders."

" ... New Yorkers who say electronic cigarettes helped them quit smoking asked city lawmakers at a hearing this week not to ban the nicotine inhalers from restaurants, workplaces and other indoor spaces, saying there isn't enough evidence they pose a health risk to justify their exclusion (December 06, 2013FoxNews.com. LINK)..."

'via Blog this'

The vapor produced by e-cigarettes provides a physical sensation and flavor similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, yet does not involve smoke. E-cigarettes do not burn or use any type of combustion. Rather, they vaporize a solution of water, flavoring, propylene glycol, glycerin, and liquid nicotine, or also nicotine free liquid is available.

MooPig e-Cigarette Department :: "Quitting Smoking?"

VapeGeek has your Vaper's Style in Stock

War within the EU: European Commission acting against European Parliament’s will on e-cigarettes: "      ...      It is obvious that the Commission’s proposal contradicts almost every aspect of the amendment voted by the Parliament. This should be considered a scandal, shows disrespect towards the will of the MEPs and is an effort to bypass all procedures and implement a strange agenda of illegalizing e-cigarettes. For example, they ask that e-cigarettes should be free from contaminants while they know that this cannot happen and they know that even pharmaceutical NRTs have nitrosamines (at levels similar to e-cigarettes). In any case, they have completely ignored science showing that nicotine is needed for e-cigarettes to be effective, users self-titrate their nicotine intake and any instructions on dosage are useless, and flavors are an important part in consumers’ efforts to reduce or quit smoking. "

'via Blog this'

Dually Drivers, and Hockey Moms everywhere vape, so should you, if you want to quit smoking cancer sticks:

1. Variability of devices and flavors play a major role in vapers’ efforts to reduce or quit smoking
2. Nicotine is an essential part of the success of e-cigarettes, especially during initiation of e-cigarette use

AT VAPEGEEK: "We have a small collection of “Truly 100% VG” based e-liquids as well. Many times, there is a trace amount of PG in the flavorings themselves, and these contain absolutely no trace of PG.

• Blueberry – Sweet blueberry flavor 
• Menthol – Pure Menthol flavor 
• RootBeer – Awesome. Not too heavily flavored so it becomes perfumey like many others, but sweet and really really good. 
• UltraSmooth – This is our regular Ultra Light flavor except made 100% VG. 
• Vanilla – Basic vanilla 

These are our Dekang Flavors:

• 555 DK – A european cigarette flavor fthat has been very popular here in the states. 
• Desert DK – Popular American cigarette brand – think of the animal in the desert. 
• Flue Cured DK – Classic cigarette flavor appeals to the Virginia Slims and BandH crowd. 
• French Pipe DK – Another pipe flavored blend. 
• Menthol (DK) – Dekangs classic menthol flavor – always a best seller and the most popular menthol flavor. Mint (DK) – A peppermint flavor. Mocha Coffee (DK) – Much loved Dekang flavor – so loved I have problems keeping it in stock. Mild coffee, medium mocha. Wonderful flavor – easy all day vape. 
• Pall Mall DK – Classic cigarette flavor RY4 DK – Tobacco with heavy undertones of vanilla and caramel. This is a great transition flavor from tobaccos to the rest of the wonderful world of e-liquid flavors. 
• Triple Menthol (DK) – This is a “super menthol” flavor that is new but much loved already. 
• Twinmint (DK) – Like the gum in the green wrapper. You know, with the twins. 
• USA Mix DK – Americas favorite cigarette flavor. 
• USA Red DK – Americas favorite flavor, red. Vanilla (DK) – A much milder flavored vanilla – loads of people use this as a mixer with tobaccos and anything else that needs a little smoothing out. -

Better Lifestyle Daily | E-Cigarette Exposed!:
When smokers try the electronic cigarette for the first time many are shocked at how much it looks, feels and tastes like a real cigarette. Most just can't believe that the electronic cigarette can actually help them quit smoking.

In the United States alone, over 800,000 smokers have already switched to electronic cigarettes.

'via Blog this'

" ... Studies which show that nicotine is about as equally harmful to your health as caffeine. These studies also show that the real harm in traditional cigarettes comes from the tobacco smoke and the thousands of additional added chemicals. (e-Cigs™ Terms and Conditions: Click Here. Oct 21, 2013. LINK) ... "

[Picture LINK]

Most articles about e-cigarettes are still just advertisements to spread the word about a casual and effective way to cut back on smoking, and to actually quit smoking. Why would tobacco companies be advertising about e-cigarettes? They know that litigation in the past against smoking has cost them a fortune, and can no longer avoid their responsibility to warn people about the dangers of lung cancer, and other dread diseases, caused by smoking.

This typical disclosure usually follows all e-cigarette articles on the internet:

" ... THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT AND NOT AN ACTUAL NEWS ARTICLE, BLOG, OR CONSUMER PROTECTION UPDATE
The statements made on this website have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure any disease. ... "

We have such disclosure because FDA has not yet turned their attention to e-cigarette processes for "vaping." Learning to VAPE is, like everything else, a lifestyle modification, but in my experience it is one of the easiest to get used to.

MooPig Vapor Inhaling Department :: "E-Cigarette Health Effects"

This Could be for YOU
Snagged by Pat Darnell | May 7, 2013 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

E-Cigarette Health Effects - Business Insider: "Taking over? Investment bank Citi named e-cigarettes as one of 10 technologies that will change the way the world does business. A potentially cancer-free cigarette — despite all other concerns — is that big of a deal. Citi projects $3.2 billion in global sales by 2015, up from $416 million in 2010.

While that's a huge market, however, it remains only a fraction of the global tobacco market, estimated at $700 billion in 2011.

Whether e-cigarettes take a larger share will depend on many factors, including improved quality and unresolved questions about health."

MooPig e-Cigarette Department :: "Vape-ing is In, Dudettes."

by Pat Darnell | Jan 3, 2013 | Bryan TX

The Electronic Cigarette � The Answer To Quit Smoking?: "If you haven't already heard, Electronic cigarettes have grabbed the attention of countless tobacco users worldwide. Everyone from movie stars to your neighbors are using them. But are they really a healthier and cheaper alternative to traditional cigarettes? Can they really help you quit smoking? Creators and product users now say you can enjoy a cheaper, healthier cigarette without the bad smells, second-hand smoke, or cancer causing chemicals. With these huge claims, we decided to uncover the electronic cigarette for our readers."

'via Blog this'

Are you finding it difficult to find any criticism of the "e-cigarette?" That is no accident. The e-cigarette helps smokers who want to quit, or just slow down a bit.

A few of the benefits claimed from using the electronic cigarette:

• No tar, tobacco, carbon monoxide, or ash.
• Get the same amount of nicotine as a regular cigarette.
• Each cartridge costs less than $2 and is equivalent to an entire pack of cigarettes.
• You can save over $1,000 each year.
• You won't "smell" like a smoker any longer.
• Different flavors are available.
• No more second-hand smoke.

Cigar Chomping Rush Limbaugh, What He Said

February 29, 2012
On February 29, 2012 Limbaugh commented on Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke, who had testified before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee in support of mandated health coverage for contraceptives. On his radio show, Limbaugh described Fluke as a "slut", "prostitute" and "round-heeled", while questioning whether her parents were proud of her for supporting the government's ruling that religiously affiliated institutions should provide health insurance plans that include contraception. (all this is from 'why Ikki peed ya')

Already facing criticism, he repeated his claims the following day and further suggested that Fluke, "and the rest of you feminazis," make a sex tape in exchange for contraceptive funding, along with offering to buy the women of Georgetown University "as much aspirin to put between their knees as they want.

March 2, 2012
The comments caused a continuing controversy for Limbaugh forming a public backlash, organized by social media, that pressured companies to stop advertising on his show. On March 3, 2012 Limbaugh reiterated his claims against Fluke and insurance coverage of contraception[152] before later apologizing, saying, "I chose the wrong words in my analogy ... I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke"[153], in response to criticism from across the political spectrum including the president.

Here comes the SPIN ... wait for it ...

March 5, 2012
On March 5, Limbaugh responded to the reaction he'd received stating: "I acted too much like the leftists who despise me. I descended to their level, using names and exaggerations. It's what we've come to expect from them, but it's way beneath me."

We knew it!! Rush is the Victim!! Poor, Poor BASTARD!

New York. 3 a.m. Blues in C. says the Ad... someone had fun with this one

MooPig Introduces its Peaks and Valleys Department

Kieth Richards is shown on the back cover of Cigar Aficionado August 2008 issue as patron and partner of Louis Vuitton, supporting The Climate Project.

Most Keith Richards fans would brand him and give him his burn notice. MooPig Editorials Dept. finds this a bit drastic.

"It is too early to speculate if Keith is a turncoat, or an Economic hit man," said Op/Ed editor-in-chief.

Click here for the Climate Project; The Climate Project consists of 1,000 dedicated volunteers from throughout the United States, trained to educate the public about climate change. Our hope is that by raising the awareness of our fellow citizens about this crisis and informing them about potential solutions, all of us, together, can preserve the climate balance on which our planet depends...
The Climate Project, a nonprofit organization based in Nashville, TN, began operations in June 2006 with the mission of increasing public awareness of the climate crisis at a grassroots level in the United States and abroad. By April 2007, a diverse group of 1,000 volunteers from throughout the U.S. had been trained by Al Gore himself to present a version of the slideshow featured in the Academy Award-winning film An Inconvenient Truth. As of May 2008, they had delivered more than 15,000 presentations and reached a combined audience of well more than a million people.

More on Keith Richards click here:

"Keith Richards; Every time he’s interviewed he comes up with something that’s going to get some extra coverage. These quotes are from an upcoming piece for Uncut Magazine.
On drugs… “I know the fascination, but it ain’t worth it, pal.'"(Pribek.net; Music. 28 Feb 2008)

Economics: MooPig has used the hem length of women's dresses as leading indicator of the economy. Since many women no longer wear dresses or skirts, this method has become iffy. Therefore the MooPig Economics Department branch of Peaks and Valleys Department, has issued a Memo that it will start using Keith Richards as the leading economic indicator. What Keith Richards does, so does the economy.

No, raising ticket prices is not the solution Pollstar guy. Any moron can look at the above list and figure out that; Young people aren’t going to shows.
"Young people… aren’t going to see Elton John, or Rod Stewart, or Roger friggin’ Waters. And, in some insane, alternate reality, if my 17-year-old stepson wanted to take a girl to go see Phil Collins, he damn sure would not lay out the cost of a PlayStation3 to do it.

"Hell, they had to wait on Eddie Van Halen to recover from hip surgery and go through rehab before he could shake his money maker and, he was the one touring. How are you going to continue to pry those fans off of the couch to risk D.U.I. in an attempt to rekindle a bit of misspent youth?" (Pribek; music business. 27 Dec 2007)
