California vaping: The new subculture (BBC website)

[thomasapdewi]

California is generally reckoned to be a trendsetter - it's not necessarily that things are invented there but California is often an early adopter. Think raves, skateboards, hippies and a whole smorgasbord of drugs. So what's next?
There's a cloud-chasing meet and I want to win. And no. Not the clouds in the sky. So here's the set-up. I want a sub-ohm rechargeable, authentic mech mod so that I that can crank up the power. And a metal rebuildable atomizer. Drip tip, of course, and then a wire coil with a dual silica wick.
I know its old-fashioned but, you know what? I've never liked the eco wool. And steel mesh? I haven't seen one of those for months now. That's for cave men.
Nic level? Three milligrams. And, let's go for organic kosher shazamazam - it's a bit like the grape candy you can get in Korea, if you've ever had that.
Any idea? That's vape talk - the new vocabulary that surrounds e-cigarettes. There's a whole new subculture...

Interesting article though they still try to cover themselves by lots of ifs ands and buts about the dangers. I'm no scientist but trying to link nicotine to cancer is reaching a bit isn't it? All the stuff I've heard is that it is about as dangerous in the doses we vape as caffeine. Some people love really strong coffee. I don't see espresso being banned just in case.

California has always been a weird place, and I imagine the link berween high paying donors and tobacco and big pharma isn't that hard to point out so it's understandable that a politician is going to spout the lines dictated by their paymasters. Unfortunately the rest of the world jumps on their cowardice as an excuse to ban or tax something.

The BBC, haha. Every time they discover something they claim it's new, as if they're first to see & report it.
