All I have to say is those 16mg cartridges would not do anything for me either. To low a nicotine content for a good study on the effectiveness of the electronic cigarette. What do I know I just use one and it keeps me from smoking tobacco cigarettes as long as I have at least 40mg e-juice. Anything lower and I want a stinky cigarette. Something must be working or at least for me. I am not DR. Taz either, just plain Taz so what I say don't count for much, but it is the truth.

Study: 'Electronic cigarettes' don't deliver

Electronic cigarettes" that vaporize nicotine juice to inhale instead of smoke from burning tobacco do not deliver as promised, according to research at Virginia Commonwealth University.

"They are as effective at nicotine delivery as puffing on an unlit cigarette," said Dr. Thomas Eissenberg, at the school's Institute for Drug and Alcohol Studies.

Exactly what I expected from this doctor Eissenberg (and from VCU as a whole). And while some may indeed need higher nicotine, making his obversations true *for the setting this was put into* (so not for other settings) - there are also lots of people for whom 16 mg *is* enough to keep them off cigarettes (unlike 'smoking' an unlit cigarette would be). Although with different settings then Ruyan thought of in the beginning perhaps (like smoking this number at 5v or 6v; or smoking it much more throughout the day then Ruyan envisioned, for instance).

Somewhere in the future, no doubt this Virginian study will prove wrong, flawed or far too one-sided - but that will do little good for now. There is one conclusion though that could and should be taken from this study by those believing it - if it doesn't work, then there is no point in and no need for trying to eradicate it, right?....

What this outcome does do (as is no doubt a very good reason for getting to the outcome) is to keep the door open for the big tobacco boys from Richmond, to bring out an e-cigarette in the future filled with far more filth then is in it now - and this would be a very believable scenario about what cigarette-makers paying for parts of that university have in mind for the future.

Yet another fight to be fought - the battle goes on.

Katink, I think I posted information on PM's patient that could move over from the current intended use to e-cigarettes with ease. It is logical since they don't work they need more ingredients to make them work better, just because it makes them nasty has never bother PM or the government, the government added that nasty paper that is supposed to not burn. A friend told me that was Horse S**T only an idiot would believe that it works and his don't go out like they suppose too.
