1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    I am very allergic to VOA and Fox News, even in small doses they get my bloodpressure up in dangerous numbers, and it mostly take me some hours vaping to cool myself down. I feel sorry for the people that have to rely on such kind of misinformation.

    As an American, I'm embarrassed that Fox seems to be the USA news channel of choice for many overseas cable/satellite TV operators. I think their oft-repeated slogan is something like, "Fair and Balanced"...what a pile. Not a fan of CNN either but for me, it's far more tolerable than Fox.

    Dude, i haven't met one man in Los Angeles who takes fox news seriously. They're the butt of all jokes when it comes to newscasting. The video is partly true.

    1. Health effects is unknown
    2. New generation of kids addicted to nic (not a bad thing entirely)
    3. Rise in teen's anxiety and etc. (of course, nicotine is addicting and it'll shows sign of withdrawal symptoms, but so does coffee and starbucks isn't ban)

    Nicotine is an addictive substance, but it has its benefits. It keeps you alert, allows you think faster, and increase your metabolism (sounds familiar to another addictive substance aka Caffeine). Scare tactics are stupid and that's what fox news plays on.
