You’ll have to forgive us for harping on about the Juul so much lately, but this is genuinely interesting news: Juul apparently intends on releasing a ‘smart’ version of its industry-shaking e-cigarette in 2019. Speaking at TechCrunch’s Disrupt SF 2018 event, Juul co-founder James Monsees talked at length about the problems that Juul has been … Continued
Vaping occupies a sort of middle ground between harmless outdoor activities, like knocking back a cold Irn Bru on a hot day, and more regulated stuff, like smoking tobacco. Oftentimes it tends to be lumped in with smoking, forcing vape users back into the same space as smokers&emdash;which is what we’re trying to get away … Continued
Would you look at us. We’re all about the ongoing series (serieses?). This is a follow-up on a post from a few weeks ago where we questioned whether e-cigarettes are encouraging kids to smoke, which was, itself, a follow-up to two other myths busted. Or semi-busted. In the intervening time, a bit more evidence has … Continued

If you haven’t read our first part, (toxic metals in vape coils???) or our second part, (formaldehyde production in eliquid???), then go do so. It’s informative and it really helps out our SEO. Today we’re going to take on the oft-cited claim that children are … Continued

It was pretty big news in certain circles, and everyone from The Sun to Mashable decided to run with the story. And why wouldn’t they? It’s an easy story to write and it’s ostensibly for the public good. It also … Continued
The government’s public health body, Public Health England (PHE), has just released their latest review of the e-cigarettes and heated tobacco industry, and it paints an ugly picture for tobacco use in the UK. Let’s start at the beginning. The good news: a little over ten years ago, almost one out of every four adults … Continued
