it is exciting to think that this product may, again may, get to the point of being recommended by mds like urself. Thanks for the post

Maybe things have changed recently, but I've had physicians refuse to write me a scrip for a natural product (Armour), insisting instead on a synthetic product (Synthroid), even though it's history was less than preferable. Needless to say, where money becomes a concern, I no longer even trust the doctor.

I also had a dentist tell me I needed a (costly) root canal 15 years ago. Took some antibiotics and pain killers. Haven't had a tootheache (much less a root canal) since. Obviously, that DDS was more interested in selling his services, than tending to my true needs. Unfortunately and sad to say, many doctors have million dollar homes and beamers to pay for.


Nonetheless, it's reassuring to hear that some physicians would consider suggesting such products.

I respect anyone's differing opinion, but I don't want a prescription for this at all. Keep it where anybody can get it, and not have to wait a month of so for an appointment. If cigarettes don't need a prescription, as much as they can affect a person's health, why subject an innocent e-cig to that? That could give people the impression that they can't use the stuff without a doctor's discretion, which IMO sends the wrong message about these things.

I want the c-stores, nightclubs, military, Walmarts, Wendy's, airlines, and any other entity to have vending machines and/or over-the-counter sales for this. People should be able to use these things in absolutely any public establishment, just as long as they can confirm that they use vaporless e-cigs. There may even be requirements, like movie theatres with food, that you not bring in your own refreshments, but you can consume as many of their own as you want. The imagination runs wild, when you think about how businesses will permit the use of these things on their premises.

Well Doc, I know that TS and the company are looking into the potential of this device used as a delivery device for medication somewhat like a nebulizer. It is small, portable, does not need external power. Just think of the uses in hospital, at home, out in the field. Inhalation therapy could be performed in the remotest locations anywhere in the world. The margins for such medical devices are tremendous and so is the medical use potential for this product. I think it will rival or exceed the delivery of nicotine usage. This company, if managed and directed and marketed properly with this patented delivery device, could be a major player one day. I am certain, although I do not know for sure that not only Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds are looking at the potential, but so is Merck and Pfizer and Bristol Meyers. Do you concur?
