Quit Smoking! Started Vaping! But are they going to be banned/restricted!

Hi Folks

First time posting here. I smoked for 14 years and three days ago i started vaping - http://www.xeocigs.com/us/e-cigarette-starter-kit-i.html

Probably not the most expensive brand of E-Cig but i LOVE the flavor so...

Anyway im wondering about a serious amount of information/disinformation floating around the web about possible banning/restricting of these lovely devices... I mean i obviously dont know much about them. In one chemist i was told "There may be side effects, we just dont know." - my answer was obviously "Well as long as possible side effects dont include Cancer or Heart disease, i think il be OK".

Anyway, this forum is obviously full of experienced Vapers, so any advice information you could offer on whats going on would be extremely appreciated. Are there going to be restrictions. Are there dangers? I have gone through 2 Cartridges in 3 days (I used to smoke 30+ a day) - is this too much Vaping?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

No that's a bit on the medium to low vaping, I used to go through 2 cart's a day, so your vaping about 3 times less than me, and I'm still alive and sane :eek:

The main ingredients in eliquid are PG and VG and Nicotine and Flavourings

Here are some articles about the health benefits of PG and VG and Nicotine

So perhaps the biggest unknown and health risk is the flavourings? Perhaps we should ban foods with flavourings too just to be sure.

Are they trying to ban e-cigs because they're a health risk? Nah, they're banning them because of financial reasons.
