More and more people are now opting to use this. Smokers are getting together and laughing out loud more in designated smoking areas. I hope a new study ensues with the advent of these e-cigarettes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429983494788146261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-59377755106172114112010-09-04T06:38:02.071-04:002010-09-04T06:38:02.071-04:00Ok well what about social anxiety?

Vague t..."adequate social relationships"<br /><br />Vague to the point of meaninglessness. I hope the original study had some definition of what was adequate... although it would seem that what it means would shift quite a bit depending on the person. <br /><br />Furthermore it was the sense of 'purpose and meaning' that apparently prevented the negative effects.<br /><br />So take it with a grain of salt. You can stay in your cave as long as a couple good friends are holed up with you. Or if you've found meaning in something else. Like buying a bigger cave, or driving the most expensive rock car.Hirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261245657816061972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-71901301193370121332010-09-03T20:45:06.965-04:002010-09-03T20:45:06.965-04:00*Takes another drag from his e-cigarette**Takes another drag from his e-cigarette*ZarPaulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923548883992534673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-45437517113752500242010-09-03T20:44:06.897-04:002010-09-03T20:44:06.897-04:00And one of the things people do to combat stress i...And one of the things people do to combat stress is smoke, maybe that's why loners don't live as long.ZarPaulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923548883992534673noreply@blogger.com
