zhouyueyue: Composition of the E-Cigarette Vapor

　　NEW YORK， April 11 (Xinhua) -- A joint working group was established here on Monday to promote trade and investment cooperation between Chinese provinces and the U.S. state of New York.

　　The group， the seventh of its kind at the local levels between the world's top two economies， involves the Empire State and six Chinese provinces and municipalities， namely Beijing， Shanghai， Jiangsu， Zhejiang， Jiangxi and Yunnan.

　　Addressing a breakfast reception at the Waldorf Astoria New York hotel， Zhang Xiangchen， China's deputy international trade representative， said that the group would help build platforms of services and exchanges for businesses of both sides to find more opportunities and expand cooperation.

　　By the end of 2015， Chinese businesses had made a total investment of 9.5 billion U.S. dollars in 95 projects across the state of New York.

　　Even the century-old Waldorf Astoria hotel， one of the historic landmarks in the bustling commercial center of Manhattan， was acquired in early 2015 by the Anbang Insurance Group of China for a record price of 1.95 billion dollars.

　　While the existing Chinese projects largely focus on finance， energy， culture and real estate， Zhang said that the two sides have agreed to explore new cooperation areas such as clean technology， life science， advanced manufacturing， agriculture and food processing， and communication and media services.

　　Before signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the establishment of the working group along with Zhang， New York State Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul stressed that the scale of the U.S. and Chinese economies "really demands closer integration of what we are doing."

　　"We want them (Chinese businesses) to feel welcome in our state. The businesses from our state are looking for export opportunities to the Chinese people and businesses，" she added.

　　According to the lastest statistics， China has become New York State's biggest trading partner outside of North America， while the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong combined is the top export destination for the state.

　　Citing the fact that around one million Chinese visit the state of New York every year and the number of Chinese students coming here for education also keeps rising， Hochul said: "There is so much more than the trade numbers. It is the people behind the numbers."

　　Before the New York working group， six similar groups have been set up since 2012， linking 25 Chinese provinces and municipalities to the U.S. states of California， Iowa， Texas， Michigan and Washington as well as the city of Chicago.

　　In November 2015， the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Commerce also signed an MOU to jointly promote the Sino-U.S. trade and investment cooperation at subnational level.

　　With over 2，000 Chinese enterprises operating in the United States， Chinese direct investment in the U.S. exceeding 10 billion dollars a year， and U.S. exports to China tripling in a decade， many people in both countries now regard trade and investment as a key component and a solid cornerstone of a healthy bilateral relationship.

　　Also on Monday at Waldorf Astoria， a China-U.S. intellectual property cooperation dialogue & Chinese brands going global forum was held， attracting representatives from big-name Chinese and American companies and law firms.

　　"The New Normal of the Chinese economy attaches great importance to innovation， and the exchange and cooperation between the two sides on IPR protection will sure benefit both Chinese and U.S. businesses and contribute to the sustainable development of both economies，" said Xu Chen， chairman of the China General Chamber of Commerce USA which organized the event.

The Science Behind E-Cigarette is Solid

Ever since e-cigarettes became popular, there have been both positive and negative comments about it. Some claim that the e-cigarettes have not been properly tested and there might be some side-effects which might be more devastating than their conventional counterparts. However [url=www.teamnhlbruinsshop.com/Bruins-David-Krejci-Adidas-Jersey/]David Krejci Jersey[/url] , e-cigarette manufacturers have maintained that their products have been properly tested and deemed fit for usage. The only way we can verify that is by understanding the science behind these e cigarettes. Here are some facts.

Composition of the E-Cigarette Vapor

The main cause of worry in the e-cigarettes is the vapor coming from them. The vapor is a substitute for the smoke inhaled from the regular cigarettes and along with the other components which constitute it, the vapor also contains nicotine. The nicotine will be absorbed through the mucosal membrane and passed into the blood stream [url=www.teamnhlbruinsshop.com/Bruins-Danton-Heinen-Adidas-Jersey/]Danton Heinen Jersey[/url] , thus giving the body its nicotine dose.

The people who oppose e-cigarette believe that this vapor is more harmful than the regular smoke and also the fumes which e-cigarette smokers exhale contain toxic chemicals. The vapor primarily consists of vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol [url=www.teamnhlbruinsshop.com/Bruins-Zdeno-Chara-Adidas-Jersey/]Zdeno Chara Jersey[/url] , nicotine and flavoring agents which are food based. Propylene glycol is in the category of GRAS, which is short for ‘generally recognized as safe’. This classification has been done by the Food and Drug Administration.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has shown that propylene glycol is also a non-irritating substance and registered it in the year 2008. The UNEP Publications also show that it will not cause any sort of sensitization. Furthermore [url=www.teamnhlbruinsshop.com/Bruins-Brandon-Carlo-Adidas-Jersey/]Brandon Carlo Jersey[/url] , there is no evidence which supports the claims stating that it is genotoxic (causes genetic modification) or carcinogenic (cancer causing).

The Other Components in The Vapor

The other main ingredient in the vapor is the vegetable glycerin. This viscous liquid is odorless and colorless, and is extensively used in many pharmaceutical products like cough syrups [url=www.teamnhlbruinsshop.com/Bruins-Riley-Nash-Adidas-Jersey/]Riley Nash Jersey[/url] , expectorants, etc. It is also present in some of the products w. [url=www.wholesalenfljerseysshoponline.com/]Wholesale Jerseys[/url]   [url=www.wholesalencaajerseysshop.com/]Wholesale Jerseys China[/url]   [url=www.wholesalenbajerseysonline.com/]Wholesale Jerseys[/url]   [url=www.wholesalemlbjerseysonline.com/]Wholesale Jerseys From China[/url]   [url=www.cheapnbajerseysfreeshipping.com/]Cheap Jerseys From China[/url]   [url=www.cheapcollegejerseyschina.com/]Cheap Jerseys[/url]   [url=www.cheapreplicasoccerjerseyschina.com/]Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping[/url]   [url=www.cheapnikenbajerseyswholesale.com/]Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys[/url]   [url=www.cheapreplicamlbjerseys.com/]Wholesale Jerseys Online[/url]   [url=www.cheapnikesoccerjerseys.com/]Wholesale Jerseys China[/url]
