Is Vaping Safer Than Smoking?


IS VAPING SAFER THAN SMOKING?

OCTOBER 19, 2019 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 0 COMMENT

Is vaping less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes? “It depends on who
you talk to” seems to be the typical response given by reporters as evidenced by
this most recent example: Here’s the basic problem with that question. It has
been answered. Public Health England (PHE) [and the Royal College of Physicians
(RCP), the guys that told the world in 1960 that smoking caused cancer] reviewed
all the evidence EVERY year. That’s ALL the evidence – good & bad. After…

10 Steps to Spotting Junk Health Science


10 STEPS TO SPOTTING JUNK HEALTH SCIENCE

FEBRUARY 11, 2017 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 1 COMMENT

This post was inspired by the following tweet by my friend Jeff Stier. A good
start, but woefully insufficient https://t.co/hKWLzPLc8q — Jeff Stier
(@JeffaStier)February 9, 2017 After reading the article I came up with 10 much
more relevant keys and tweeted them to Jeff. Thinking about it a bit more (I
only spent 30 minutes writing the 10 tweets) I realized that expanding on these
points might be useful to those wanting some concrete information behind those
10 tweets. It…

2017 – A Banner Year for Stupid


2017 – A BANNER YEAR FOR STUPID

JANUARY 6, 2017 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 1 COMMENT

British scientists “inserted” food flavorings into sperm. Wacky hijinks
ensued.https://t.co/XjgISTF2Fa — Jim McDonald (@whycherrywhy) January 6, 2017 So
a group of half-witted pseudo intellectuals decided that it would be an
equivalent exposure to mix e-liquid directly with sperm. This following the
previous group who decided that directly injecting e-liquid into the peritoneum
of rats would validly test testicular exposure. How do these people pass as real
scientists? The exposure route is through inhalation. There are attenuative
factors that limit the…

FOR ’TIS THE SPORT TO HAVE THE FDA HOIST WITH ITS OWN PETARD…

AUGUST 13, 2016 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 2 COMMENTS

Sometimes advocating for smoke-free alternatives provides some interesting
opportunities. Recently Clive Bates penned a rather damning post on the FDA’s
deeming “FDA shoots itself in the foot, cigarette trade celebrates, public
health loses – a summary in two quotes” wherein he ends with the notion: “… that
the big players behind the FDA’s intervention, such as Mitch Zeller and Matt
Myers, do not have the faintest idea what they are actually doing. Carl Phillips
replied to this notion with “FDA…

An Open Response to Heralds of the FDA’s Deeming Regulations


AN OPEN RESPONSE TO HERALDS OF THE FDA’S DEEMING REGULATIONS

MAY 11, 2016 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 2 COMMENTS

What those heralding the newly announced FDA deeming regulations ignore is the
fact that while subjecting e-cigarettes and other reduced harm products to
draconian measures, cigarettes continue unabated. By the very law ostensibly
designed to curb smoking’s harms – cigarettes continue unchanged. To be sure,
oversight would be welcome. Indeed, the vapor products industry argued for
reasonable regulations, measurable standards, and effective controls. They were
ignored. Instead FDA has chosen to impose requirements on reduced harm products
that cigarettes were…

Can Vapers move Public opinion?


CAN VAPERS MOVE PUBLIC OPINION?

MARCH 8, 2016 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 3 COMMENTS

A recent discussion posed a question regarding the likelihood that the current
movement among vapers to influence politics could actually have the intended
effect. This straightforward question has a rather layered answer. The first
layer, generating enthusiasm, is the intent behind motivating people with the
notion that they can make a difference. The analysis is correct in that
influencing the election of a presidential or even a federal senatorial vote is
a far reach. However, influencing a house of representative,…

We Didn’t Ban Automobiles…


WE DIDN’T BAN AUTOMOBILES…

FEBRUARY 6, 2016 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 0 COMMENT

Harm reduction is a range of public policies designed to reduce the harmful
consequences associated with human behaviors. In 1968 53,000 people a year died
in auto accidents as the first seat-belt laws were passed. Fifty-three years
later we have reduced the death rate by 62%. We didn’t ban automobiles; we
reduced the harm from using them by getting professional help from credible
source. Just as seat-belts, airbags, and anti-lock brakes all work to reduce the
causes of harm in…

Advocacy, Opposition, and the Vaping Truth


ADVOCACY, OPPOSITION, AND THE VAPING TRUTH

DECEMBER 31, 2015 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 4 COMMENTS

While I understand the concern that certain members of Public Health, Tobacco
Control, and the Media are expressing; they are, like so many members of the
legislature and the public, jumping to conclusions based on flawed data points.
The studies exhibited are often notably presenting information that takes no
account of the risk reduction between e-cigarettes and the smoking they replace.
Several studies have designs that have no relationship to real world
application, often exaggerating the exposure so significantly that…

How to Argue FOR Vaping


HOW TO ARGUE FOR VAPING

JUNE 11, 2015 @THAUMATURGERN COMMENTS 11 COMMENTS

One of the most difficult things about this disruptive technology is how to
defend it against the naysayers who are, like the Luddites of old, trying to
destroy what they do not understand. It is frustrating beyond tolerance at
times, to hear our lifesaving technology reduced to being perceptually more
harmful than smoking itself. Those of us who have been on the front lines face
endless repetition of the same pseudo-scientific lies and misrepresentations at
every turn. We are besieged…
