While I'm not looking forward to the regulation, I wouldn't object if they put an age restriction on it and made sure the liquid was made properly. Right now, any one can sell you a bottle of goo and you have to hope that it contains what they say it does. It's not a huge problem, there are plenty of reputable companies out there. If you want, you can still buy the raw ingredients (that are what they say they are) and mix your own. I'm sure the kids will still find a way, but I happen to know that black market substances are easier for minors to get than white market ones.
Can you still switch it off if your a traveler on a hotel NAT that needs to VPN to the office? What if you're trying to do some business from a coffee shop or other public wi-fi location? I hope they all remember to opt out for you.
Once you remove the smoke from the equation, is nicotine any worse than caffeine?
I am having a bit of trouble with that. I like nicotine. If the health effects are minimal enough, then why was I quitting again? I'm tapering it down anyway (I reduced my caffeine consumption years ago). Should I still go all the way? I'm going to let future me deal with that issue.
Good advice. I would add that finding loose tobacco that is nothing but tobacco (no additives or wacky processing) can help a lot too. I did exactly that and for the first week or so I couldn't smoke enough of them. It wasn't satisfying in the same way as the manufactured cigarettes of the processed rolling tobacco. After the initial transition I noticed that I dropped to 75% or less of my previous smoking level and didn't feel the need to smoke as strongly or as often. I don't know what those guys are doing to the tobacco in manufactured smokes, but it's something evil.
All the studies on second hand effects I've read up on so far say there are none. I remember one that even said it would be safe around infants. As far as the smell, my vanilla blend has received second hand reviews from "indifferent" to "kind of nice smelling". Would you be ok with a bit of musty vanilla wafting by briefly (dissipates fast, no lingering nastiness)? How is it any different then from that old woman with the gallon of perfume? I don't understand you objection to seeing them. I have to see all kinds of things I'm not a big fan of in public.
Anecdotal evidence: Myself and many of my friends switched to ecigs with success. Many of us tried and failed with other methods. Now I have a roaring ecig addiction that tobacco just can't satisfy. So that's not quite a successful quit yet, but in terms of harm reduction it's looking good so far. Since I can control the strength of the liquid by mixing it myself, I'm working on a very long, gentle taper down.
I would suggest an addition service be added to this program: I would like amazon to hold my physical copy of the book and send them to me should the ebook ever become unavailable to me.
If you've ever worked a job that involves wacky schedules, you would know that any method of adhering to a sleep/wake schedule makes it feel somewhat natural pretty fast. In this case it's just naturally enforced light and dark cycles.

So don't call it marriage. Have a standard government backed civil union type thing that any two (or more) people can enter into under the law and let the churches handle whatever joined under god nonsense they want.
Excedrin is an over-the-counter headache pain reliever, typically in the form of tablets or caplets. It contains acetaminophen (paracetamol), aspirin, and caffeine.
Maybe you should just buy a cheap bottle of generic aspirin instead of a brand name product that contains an ingredient you don't want and a touch of caffeine (readily available from all kinds of sources)

Now they use a three-pronged attack. Subliminal, liminal, and super liminal.

Great, just what we need, even more ... Damnit. First post AC beat me to it! But I had time to skim TFA and didn't see a reference to de-orbiting them.
Did you notice that it's right under a box titled "How's your net rep?" subtitled "Do you know you digital reputation?"
I believe I'll vote for a third party candidate!
Go ahead, throw your vote away! Hahahaha!
I've heard of this before... It was Focus!
Isn't that what certain countries use for their internet filters now?
Oh, oh, I see! Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!
