Many E-Cig retailers and vendors have made contributions as well. Fuzion Vapes, for example, donated 50% of their profits towards Vape a Vet for the month of July. Ace E-Juice donates 10 bottles per month towards the project. Butt Out E-Cig donates a portion of their profits towards the project as well. Other vendors have helped out by donating free E-Juices and hardware towards Vape a Vet’s fundraisers. Many vendors seem to be more than willing to donate, but a lot of vendors don’t know this project exists. If donating isn’t an option, spreading the word about this project would be a tremendous help especially to the local B&Ms who doesn’t know the existence of the project.

Before anyone swears off electronic cigarettes completely (which is not the point of this article by the way) the levels of diacetyl and acetyl propionyl present are higher than the NIOSH standards, BUT they are severely lower than that of regular cigarettes. In terms of getting obliterative bronchiolitis, it is still a lot safer to use electronic cigarettes over regular cigarettes as the diacetyl and acetyl propionyl are much lower, but just because they are lower, we cannot dismiss diacetyl being in our E-Juices immediately. If they flavors do have diacetyl, they should be avoided if possible. In fact, TFA/TPA is coming out with a new line of custard and cream flavors (known as the V2) that contain little to no diacetyl in their flavorings. I am hesitant to believe there aren’t at least traces of diacetyl present as we already know even some fruit flavors have them. But hopefully it will meet the NIOSH standards with their new line. With TFA/TPA spearheading non-diacetyl rich flavorings, it is my hope that other flavoring companies are following the same practice. Electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular every day; the flavoring companies need to meet the demands of the community and avoid diacetyl in their flavorings if possible.

The misinformation in the tobacco control field is so widespread that hardly a day goes by that an anti-smoking advocate somewhere doesn't publicly declare that smoking may be no more dangerous than vaping. Yesterday, it was the Sedgwick County Health Department (Wichita, KS), which wrote in an op-ed in the Kansas City Star:
