Under new federal rules, e-cigarettes gain a national age restriction, banning usage for anyone under the age of 18. But that’s something Maryland had in place since last October.
Casey Burtenshaw, the manager of Pleasant Vapes in Dunkirk, Maryland, hopes new FDA regulations won’t hurt his business. His shop is one in a chain of three stores that have opened in Calvert County in the last three years or so. He said his shop is very diligent about carding customers to check their age.
E-cigarettes work by heating up liquid that often contains nicotine, and turning it into flavored, inhalable vapor. Because most of these products are so new, studies on their health effects have been minimal.

There have many studies done on vaping and e-cigarettes that prove they are harmless to the person and those around them, public hysteria loves to legislate behavior so if something looks like smoke it must be bad. Negative. Vapor that comes from these instruments is water not nicotine. Many people reduce their nicotine quickly and experience much better health because they're not smoking the other 3,000+ chemicals added to cigarettes by manufacturers to extend tobacco product shelf life. A grossly misinformed public once again clamor for regulations because they fear what they don't understand yet rely on MSM, a very flawed information system, to dictate their belief system. Vapers don't help their cause when they blow their ridiculously big clouds of vapor in public. But all in all the e-cigarettes have great success in permanently getting people off cigarettes where as gum and other medical replacements often see people going back to cigarettes at an alarming rate.
The first e-cigarette was invented by a doctor in Japan after his father died of lung cancer.
but the vapor does have nicotine in it
Maybe as many employees in the cigarette industry as in the coal industry says it all for me.
No 1036 the vapor does not have nicotine. The process for making eliquid contains a different type of nicotine than cigarettes. Please go educate yourself.
This is the kind of hysteria I was talking about. Ridiculous.
Nicotine is not harmful
Smoke from cigarettes contains all the preservatives used to in cigarettes. That's why second hand smoke is harmful. Vapor is not harmful to theirs or the person vaping. The coil heats up high enough to burn all residuals what's left is water vapor. If water is bad then we're all doomed regardless. Get a life. You anti-vapers want to just regulate bc you have some bad memory of smoking. It's all BS.
People get freaked out because the homies blow big vape clouds. That's why all the bad press. If they'd keep it on the down low people wouldn't freak.
There is no way possible that these things have been studied long enough to know the effects. It took them 30 40 years just to figure out cigarettes were bad. God knows what these things are really do to people in another 30 years time will tell..
And just thinking about the fact that of course the government has to be able to get money off of it. Why is regulated.
For those that believe Nicotine is not harmful it was actually use to uthanize animals. The can of nicotine had the skull and cross bones on the front and back. It was such a dangerous compound it was outlawed in the 70's.
I will say these Vape people are weird ducks period. I dont care if it is good for you or not you look like a bunch of Tards. If you blow your vape smoke in the my face I will break your nose and oral fixsation device.
Funny 10:19 you sound just like the Tabacco Industry did when defending their products.. We all learned how bad they lied. Sorry not buying you b.s.
Just don't smoke if you want to quit
1132 it has been shown through many reveals in later years that studies on cigarette effects were seriously flawed and often followed what the surgeon general wanted them to prove rather than real facts and data. Many smokers live long, healthy lives while many non-smokers battle with cancer and die early from lung disease. If all the so-called tests were true then you would not have as many people living longer today. Most baby boomers would be long gone as most of them were subjected to parents smoking in cars with the windows rolled up. Cancer for the most part has been shown to be largely hereditary and not necessarily lifestyle. Look at many people who lived well into their 90s who smoked everyday two-three packs a day. So to say that studies can indict or vindicate any lifestyle choice is ridiculously naive. Probabilities are not steadfast. Our lottery system proves that when people win the lottery in spite of forecasted odds against it. The problem is too many people want to nose their snouts in other people's business when in fact they should worry about their own health. Obesity is a huge problem in America but I don't see anyone outlawing fast food or vegan diets that leave people sick due to lack of proper proteins and nutrients found in meat. So please save the I want to help you and help yourself. If people want to vape, it's really none of anyone else's business but the person vaping. It doesn't leave an unpleasant odor, it doesn't corrode everything with a yellow film and it doesn't hurt the person vaping. Should it be available to people under 18? No. Should a person of age who wants to vape be able to vape in their home, car or out in the open air, yes. Quit dictating to people what they can or cannot do and start worrying about yourself. If you're driving to work alone five days a week you're putting into the atmosphere more that 9 million cigarettes being smoked at one time. So please. Just stop judging others. Those who live in glass houses.....
People can buy vape liquid with THC in it and get high by vaping too. It is undetectable because it doesn't smell like weed.
11:32 My brother who is nine years younger than me is a smoking fiend. He also has serious COPD.
There is no rational reason to smoke or vape. It is all first a bad choose and later drug addiction.
Nobody but the drug dealer holding the money bag should encourage any of it.
popcorn lung
The poison is in the dose, idiot. Sure drinking a whole can of nicotine is poison. You can also kill yourself by drInking too much water.
The fastest way to identify a "tard" is seeing s person use that term.
Popcorn lung. Once again some moron is buying the hype. MSM also says that Clinton isn't guilty of quid pro quo in the State Department. And she didn't terrorize Billy boy's rape victims. Guess you believe that crap, too.
Its just a ploy by state and fed governments to collect the revenue they've lost due to the decline in traditional smoking. Per the "Masters Settlement" agreement of 1998, cigarette manufacturer's annual payments (fines) are determined by share of market trends. For example - Altria (PM USA) would pay more in fines than a smaller cigarette mfg. With the consistent decline in cigarette consumption, revenues provided to the states are declining. State governments base their current and future budgets on anticipated revenue from cigarette co. payments. Since these revenues are declining they have to make it up somewhere else - higher taxes ! These payments were supposed to fund smoking cessation programs, but in fact these govt crooks only spend a small % on these programs.
