Health fears raised over electronic cigarettes

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 4:18 PM on 08th October 2008

Health campaigners today raised fears about the soaring popularity of electronic cigarettes, claiming not enough is known about their contents.

The devices, which are sold as a way of getting around the ban on smoking in pubs, use cartridges of nicotine which are inhaled in a mist.

Retailers claim the products are '100 times healthier' than normal cigarettes, and some are selling almost 2,000 of the £40 kits every month.

A customer uses an electronic cigarette, which is made of synthetic material and works with nicotine cartridges

But health groups are concerned that they have escaped the rigorous testing other nicotine products have to undergo.

Deborah Arnott, director of Action on Smoking and Health (Ash), believes that smokers trying to quit should choose other nicotine replacement products available.

Home Remedies For Bad Breath

clipper's remarks: Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a very common temporary condition caused by such things as oral dryness, stress, hunger (ketosis), eating certain foods such as garlic and onions, smoking, or poor oral hygiene.
Bad breath is caused by odor-producing bacteria that grow in the mouth. When people don't brush and floss regularly, bacteria accumulate on the bits of food left in the mouth and between the teeth. The sulfur compounds released by these bacteria make the breath smell.

Sarah sad statement about 'Merika--Matt Taibbi

clipper's remarks: Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she's a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove. But more than that, she is a horrifying symbol of how little we ask for in return for the total surrender of our political power.

Not only is Sarah Palin a fraud, she's the tawdriest, most half-assed fraud imaginable, 20 floors below the lowest common denominator, a character too dumb even for daytime TV -and this country is going to eat her up, cheering her every step of the way. All because most Americans no longer have the energy to do anything but lie back and allow ourselves to be jacked off by the calculating thieves who run this grasping consumer paradise we call a nation.

The scariest thing about John McCain's running mate isn't how unqualified she is -- it's what her candidacy says about America.

I'm standing outside the XCEL ENERGY CENTER in St. Paul Minnesota Sarah Palin has just finished her speech to the Republican National Convention, accepting the party's nomination for vice president. If I hadn't quit my two-packs-a-day habit earlier this year, I'd be chain-smoking now. So the only thing left is to stand mute against the fit-for-a-cheap-dog-kennel crowd-control fencing you see everywhere at these idiotic conventions and gnaw on weird new feelings of shock and anarchist rage as one would a rawhide chew toy.

In the crush to exit the stadium, a middle-aged woman wearing a cowboy hat, a red-white-and-blue shirt and an obvious eye job gushed to a male colleague they were both wearing badges identifying them as members of the Colorado delegation at the Xcel gates.

clipper's remarks: And what I want to know is - did the ritual actually work? Did he quit smoking before he died?

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Relatives beat a Malaysian couple to death in a ritual apparently meant to help the man to stop smoking, police said Friday.

The couple died of head injuries after being beaten with broomsticks and motorbike helmets during a family gathering at a Kuala Lumpur home Wednesday, said Ku Chin Wah, head of the city's crime investigations department.

According to those detained, a nephew suggested the beating ritual after the man said he could not stop smoking and the woman complained of a liver ailment, Ku said.

It is not clear who was responsible for the deaths, but local media reported that the nephew convinced all the members of the Muslim family to beat each other.

Caffeine and Pregnancy

clipper's remarks: Can’t give up that hankering for a cup of joe in the morning? Crave a coke in the afternoon for a little pick-me-up? If you’re trying to become pregnant, now is a great time to kick your caffeine habit because caffeine and pregnancy do not go together. Do so, and you might increase your odds of having a healthy baby.

Caffeine and Infertility

Should you skip the starbucks or not when you’re trying to make a baby. Studies aren’t clear about whether caffeine intake reduces fertility.

One study found as little as one cup of coffee per day was enough to increase the time taken to get pregnant. But another study of nearly 3000 women found that coffee consumption was not associated with infertility. Caffeine has been shown to interfere with the ability of the egg to implant in the uterus and when combined with alcohol or cigarettes, significant drops in fertility resulted. So what’s a girl to do?

Caffeine and Miscarriage

Even though the role of caffeine in infertility is murky, the best reason to quit is that it is proven to cause problems when you finally get pregnant. Even with low doses, you might be putting baby at risk.

And women who consumed less than 200 mg of caffeine daily? Their risk of miscarriage still increased by more than 40%!

People who have quit smoking successfully will tell you that getting support from others helps tremendously, and the CDC notes that success rates for quitting increase when evidence-based interventions such as health provider reminder systems, pharmacologic or behavioral cessation therapies, and telephone counseling (quit lines) are employed.

When you just can't quit: New forms of smokeless tobacco can help

Bruce Watson
Aug 21st 2008 at 5:00PM

By combating the smoke that causes most smoking-related health problems and the taxes that bankrupt smokers, these companies are finding ways to make nicotine addiction less expensive and more socially acceptable. Of course, quitting is still the ideal, but if smokers can't find that final reason to push them over the edge into nonsmoking, these are some other options:

Snus

Ariva

Creamy Snuff

Crown 7

That having been said, if smokeless options can reduce the negative health effects of tobacco usage, then they seem like a very good idea.

Non-smoking drug endangering soldiers' health

VA inspector general found gross violations in a VA human testing program; drug linked to suicide

This week in Arkansas the Veterans Affairs inspector general found gross violations in a VA human testing program. For soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, health care and the transition back into society are important issues. Questions are being raised about what types of health care treatments soldiers should receive. Congress held another hearing on a recent VA case involving veteran negligence based on a series of Washington Times articles. In VA hospitals a non-smoking drug Chantix is given to veterans to help them quit smoking. This even after the FDA, drug maker Pfizer and the VA itself found the drug to have serious risks, including suicidal behavior.

BOB FILNER (D-CA

a controlled study

this was something to help them stop smoking. And the secretary said, "Well, you know, smoking causes death." And I said, "Well, so does suicide."

Gotta Stop Smoking Before That Face Lift

LISA MORRISON has always considered herself a pillar of health. She ate only organic food, exercised often and meditated. The only glitch in her otherwise exemplary existence was the pack of Marlboros that she had inhaled daily since age 18.

Nothing, that is, until 2007, when Dr. Giampapa told her she would have to toss her beloved cigarettes if she wanted a neck- and eye-lift. “The doctor strongly suggested that if I wanted to heal properly I needed to quit,” Ms. Morrison said. “When you start talking about your face, it becomes motivating.”

“When someone hears this from an internist or cardiologist who says it’s really bad for you, it increases your risk of lung cancer, it’s bad for your heart, people tend to blow that off if they’re feeling well,”

“With plastic surgery it’s a little bit different. People are desirous of an elective procedure, and that’s their main objective in coming in. It’s something they truly want.”
