Well, this seems a very good omen…
The Oxford English Dictionary named “vape” – the word used for the act of drawing on an electronic cigarette instead of a burning stick of tobacco – as its 2014 word of the year.
“You are 30 times more likely to come across the word vape than you were two years ago, and usage has more than doubled in the past year,” Oxford staff editors said.
…
The apparent rise of e-cigarettes was cited as the reason for the skyrocketing use of the word, along with countless debates over the safety of using the devices long term.
The word, according to the Oxford editors, was only added to OxfordDictionaries.com in August of this year. A bit slow there, chaps.
All in all though, very good news — no matter how much the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries (and their acolytes) try to undermine progress towards a vastly healthier world. Vape on.
I am so vapeorized … like a comet.
Well well well. Now who is supporting death?
Electronic cigarettes contain up to 10 times more cancer-causing substances than regular tobacco, according to the latest study by Japanese scientists.

We have very few rules for commenting here. You have repeatedly violated the one the bars the use of different names for commenting. Having written in the past here as “Uhuh”, “Silat”, “Lew” and perhaps others, your posts will now be moderated.
If you had wished to disagree with me or the mountains of science that shows vaping is FAR safer than smoking, I’d have been happy to let you do so. Breaking the rules in order to do it, however, means you won’t get to do so anymore.
Sorry about that, chief.
P.S. When/if that single study you cite is actually peer reviewed and published, I’ll be a lot more interested in it. Until then, I’m sorry to see you continue to try and harm people with misleading information. You don’t get to do it at The BRAD BLOG anymore, in any event.
