  1. 'Artificial Intelligence' Installed In Schools To Catch Vapers

    'Artificial Intelligence' Installed In Schools To Catch Vapers

    SCHOOLS across America are increasingly installing Artificial Intelligence in bathrooms to catch young vapers, it has been revealed.

    Pro-vapers have slammed the latest extreme measures in response to a so-called vaping “epidemic” sweeping the US, saying underage use of e-cigarettes has been vastly over-exaggerated by the media and campaign groups.

    But over 200 schools in 23 American states and Canada have installed special AI devices, which are trained to detect the water vapour signatures coming from vaping pens, e-cigarettes and other vaping paraphernalia. Its manufacturers claim it is now receiving 20 new inquiries a day from schools.

    The Fly Sense device, which uses machine-learned AI, was originally developed by Soter Technologies to detect bullying in school, since it also reacts to elevated sound levels that might indicate fighting. But it has quickly been brought in to monitor vaping instead as concerns among parents rise.

    It works by using technology

    The NHS and Vaping

    The NHS and vaping - how does the British healthcare system treat vapers?

    Britain’s National Health Service is unquestionably the most popular institution the country has. Founded in 1945, it offers all kinds of healthcare free at the point of use to anyone in the country who needs it.

    The British Government has also been at the forefront of encouraging smokers to switch to less harmful products like vapes or nicotine pouches. The Department of Health, backed by medical doctors at the Royal College of Physicians, regularly tells smokers that they’d be far better off if they vaped, and that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking.

    But how does the NHS itself - the hospitals and other healthcare facilities that fall within the remit of this huge national treasure - deal with vaping in the real world?

    Vaping and the environment - everything you need to know.

    We’re all trying to be environmentally friendly these days, and for a lot of people that means cutting down on plastic waste. It's difficult to vape these days without encountering some form of single use plastic, although there are still some vape juice brands that use glass bottles.

    But what’s the likely impact of vaping on the environment, and how can we try to minimize the amount of plastic waste we produce while vaping?

    Is vaping as bad as cigarettes for the environment?

    Simply put, no.

    Cigarette butts don’t just smell disgusting, they are also one of the most pervasive forms of pollution. There are a staggering 4.5 trillion individual cigarette butts polluting the oceans right now, making

  8. 7 Reasons why smoking is better than vaping

    7 Reasons why smoking is better than vaping

    1. Smoking is everywhere

    Run out of your favourite smokes? Chances are a re-up is only 5 minutes away. Heck, even pharmacies sell cigarettes - you try picking up your favourite vape from Walgreens. I’m right, aren’t I? It’s an easy life being a smoker. Until it kills you.

    2. Smoking is easy

    What’s to know? You put it in your mouth, set fire to it, take 12 puffs and you’re done. Vaping, not so much. let’s face it, there’s a learning curve to most vape that simply doesn’t exist with smoking. And do you know when to change a coil? Do you know when you’re done vaping? Isn’t having yet another thing to charge irritating? Smoking is really easy.

    3.  Smoking is cool

    You might think you look awesome vaping. Hey, maybe you do! But the reality is that vaping is not now and will never reach the glamorous heights that smoking once did. From the 40s to the 80s everyone smoked - movie

  9. Have asthma? Don’t smoke, vape, study concludes!

    Have asthma? Don’t smoke, vape, study concludes!

    In a move that will surprise no one (although it may dismay some on the anti-vaping front), Riccardo Polosa and six scientific colleagues from the University of Catania and other European institutions, found that switching from smoking to vaping improved the health of asthma sufferers.

    Their findings were reported in May in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and showed that subjects vaping with asthma displayed significant improvements in three measures and non-significant improvements in one measure compared to smokers. The improvements had to do with better asthma control, as measured by a standardized questionnaire (Juniper's Asthma Control Questionnaire), better pulmonary function, as measured by spirometry, a common test for lung function in asthmatics and COPD (chronic

  10. California study finds only healthful chemicals in e-cig vapour!

    Fed up with lack of information about e-cigarettes, San Diego's Channel 10 decided to run its own test.

    They engaged a researcher from the University of California at Riverside, one who has published reports in the past finding e-cigs dangerous, and asked her to go to a vape shop, buy an e-cig, and test it. It was announced that results would be published Thursday evening, January 30, at 11 pm, Pacific Standard Time. NEWS FLASH: Findings show e-cig vapour contains healthful chemicals. See below!

    In preparation for the big unveiling of her results, the news outlet consulted UC San Francisco professor Stanton Glantz, known for his strong stance against e-cigs, for some unbiased information about the product. Predictably, Glantz warned of dire perils.

  11. Reflections on the Summit

    The E-Cigarette Summit last week was a game changer. I think everyone on all sides of the issue can see that. My take-away, one of them, anyhow, was a vivid picture of the community that has formed among those who want electronic cigarettes to be a harm reduction tool.

    A community of scientists, public health advocates, and consumers, joining forces with those who market the product they advocate, in an effort to bring about the triumph of common sense in the regulation of vapes.

    Nowhere was this clearer than in the misfortunes of the one hapless representative of Big Tobacco, perhaps not the only one present, but the only one who dared to speak up. Midway through the Question and Answer period of the second Experts' Panel, someone noted that some Big Tobacco people were present, persons from

    Ohms and Ohm’s Law

    Before we get to all the cool vaping stuff, we first have to cover some scientific basics. An “ohm” is a unit of resistance. Ohm’s Law states that there is a relationship between voltage, current and resistance. More specifically, Voltage = Current / Resistance or V = I/R. How does that relate to vaping? Basically, by decreasing the resistance (ohms) of your atomizer, more electricity will flow through it, changing the overall
