Vaping – Vaping Media

So you finally found that perfect flavor or E-juice. Finding the perfect flavor has helped you switch from smoking to vaping. After years of trying to stop smoking, you’ve found a way. You’re telling everyone you know about your success!

Nothing can take you back to cigarettes now that you’ve found that perfect taste. You’ve tried different flavors and this one fits you perfectly. Now you’re obsessed with it, constantly humidifying the world with your favorite flavor of the perfect combination of peach – tangerine unicorn e-liquid. Or bubble gum rainbow cookie sprinkles.

Everything is going perfect until suddenly your favorite E-juice starts tasting like dry sand. E-gads! It’s the dreaded Vaper’s Tongue! What is that? Relax, the honeymoon isn’t over. It’s not the end of the world, and you don’t have to go back to smoking.

While you’ve found “that” flavor you and your tongue enjoy, your taste buds, and your tongue simply suffer from fatigue and are giving up. You’re experiencing dry mouth, cotton-mouth, or what vapers call “Vaper’s Tongue“.

Things to know

Medications, a simple cold or even a sinus infection (or anything else) could also alter the taste of your e-liquid. Don’t give up on your journey. Vaper’s Tongue is not the end of the world. There are things you can do to make your tongue happier along the way.

Drink some water.

Drinking water is helpful. Don’t forget to hydrate. Water is life, and your tongue and taste buds will thank you for it.

Switch flavors.

Try switching flavors for a day. Find yourself another favorite flavor or three. I know your nectarine-toffee is the perfect combination, but after being inundated by the same thing for days on end, your taste buds beg to differ. Find an alternate flavor (even if it’s just for a day) and combine that with hydration. It just may do wonders for your tongue.

Change your top.

A fresh top is a happy top, and a fresh tongue is a happy tongue. It could also be that you’ve vaped the life out of your top. You could also simply brush your teeth and tongue.

Exercise that Vaper’s Tongue

Another suggestion is doing simple tongue exercises to alleviate Vaper’s Tongue. You can start with phone calls and talking to your local congressional representatives about the Cole-Bishop Amendment, HR1136.

You could ask your local or national health “representative” why they are withholding information from the general public.

Don’t get your tongue twisted in a knot. Talk to other vapers. Talk to smokers. Talk to everyone. Don’t allow the government to give you a different type of Vaper’s Tongue. A silent tongue is an obedient tongue. Every day, your communication skills are essential to keeping yourself from catching Vaper’s Tongue.

The intent of the Food and Drug Administration has been to manipulate the public to believe vaping regulations protect “The children”. They want the public to assume regulations are based on evidence and are in the best interest of public health.

If you’re not paying attention, you should be.

Vaping Regulations

According to Mitch Zeller (Director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products), regulations are reasonable and sensible and based concerns of youth becoming “addicted to nicotine”. It was also so they could make vaping products appear similar to smoking.

“We will make policy where the science takes us.” ~Mitch Zeller, Director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products

Vaping Saves lives

Killing a bill

Here is an outstanding example of how legislators in Montana had hearings to try to put vaping products into a clean air act. Those officials trying to get the bill passed seemed to present information to the “best of their knowledge”. Used to getting their way, fancy worlds like may, could, can or might – did not impress or persuade lawmakers.

The “defendants” were well prepared, and the officials were unprepared by responding to questions with “something outside (my) expertise”, and “I don’t know.”

The way we fight unjustified legislation is with facts.

Balancing Budgets

One example of regulation is the “Senate Co-Sponsorship Memoranda” introduced by Senator Camera Bartolotta in Pennsylvania. It does mention Public Health England and Royal College of Physicians.

If it passes, the tax will to go from a proposed 40% wholesale tax to a 5-cents per milliliter retail tax on e-liquid. After checking with Chris Hughes, it may still be subject to state sales tax in addition to the per mil tax.

NO vaping product should be taxed as tobacco. Period. They should be subject to normal state or local sales tax like any other consumer product. Period.

Vaping is not a Tobacco product

There is no goal to benefit “public health”, only government health. It needs to be contested or justified properly, by the government.

“There is a legitimate role for tobacco regulations, but vaping is not a tobacco product.” ~ Congressman Tom Cole

The actual fact is that Smoking rates (youth and adults) have declined. Vaping is helping millions of people live healthier lives and should be treated as an aid to help quite smoking.

More Money, Not Tobacco

Declining revenue from lower cigarette sales is the driving force of vaping regulations. Health organizations are insisting on regulations while ignoring less harm. You might think you were no longer using tobacco, but with regulations as tobacco, people who switched to e-cigarettes are subject to higher health insurance premiums. Most officials calling for regulations do not want to reduce smoking, they want to maintain and increase their revenue.

The FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017.

“Nobody” (that’s me) as much as anyone (that should be you), is beyond pleased to see Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04), along with Congressman Sanford Bishop (GA-02) introduce legislation to

“amend the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to change the predicate date for newly “deemed” tobacco products, impose common-sense licensing and advertising guidelines for vapor products and direct the FDA to establish product standards for vapor product batteries.”

“There is a legitimate role the FDA plays for tobacco regulations, but e-cigarettes are not a tobacco product. ~Congressman Tom Cole

“Regulations should be based on evidence and the FDA doesn’t have the evidence to say that vaping is a harmful product.” ~ Congressman Tom Cole

“The alternative to tobacco products is found in the vaping industry, and that’s good, not bad.” ~ Congressman Tom Cole

Hope for vapers: New bill could halt FDA e-cigarette prohibition

Pending here:

H.R.1136

This fight isn’t over. We must educate our local Congressmen and Congresswomen. In doing so, they will understand “when tobacco use decreases, less smoking occurs”. If legislators and health officials aren’t focusing on less harm, they are part of the problem.

Public figures know better and haven’t stopped turning their heads away from science. This isn’t about convincing anyone, it is about showing the truth about vaping products. They want the public to be obedient. It’s about a much less harmful product convicted without a trial, and taxation without representation.

I will not comply. I’m not shutting up. A Billion Lives are at stake.
