Question by GO G-MEN!!!!!: what should i buy on blsck friday. please be specific and if u saye electronics what type? ?
P.S. will the price for the xbox 360 drop???? and will i be able to sell my wii for a good price?

Best answer:

Answer by edjukated_smartass
My crystal ball is broken right now, please try again later.

360 price has already dropped, it may not drop even more on Black Friday. Nobody can tell you WHAT to buy…it’s what you want or what do you need? I could tell you to buy a Samsung 40″ LCD 1080p TV, but if you already have 3 than you may not need one. You can try to sell your wii for more than cost, but you may not get that much for one until right before Christmas because the demand isn’t nearly as high anymore. And when electronic stores are getting them in on a steady base, why would anyone want to buy one from you that may or may not be used at a higher price.

U.S. CEO Confidence Jumps in Latest YPO Global Pulse Survey

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 07, 2012

The YPO Global Pulse Index for the United States rebounded sharply in the fourth quarter of 2011, climbing 4.5 points to 62.2. The latest survey results also suggest that a faster pace of hiring may be forthcoming: the YPO Employment Confidence Index for the United States rose 1.5 points to 59.8, the highest reading since YPO began measuring CEO sentiment in July 2009.

After lagging the YPO Global Index in every quarter since the survey began, the United States weighed in above the global reading for the first time. Expectations about sales, headcounts and capital spending all climbed higher in the fourth quarter, suggesting that U.S. CEOs seem to anticipate a moderate pace of economic expansion during the coming 12 months.

The survey results were announced today by YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization), a not-for-profit global network of 19,000 chief executive officers. The YPO Global Pulse is the only CEO economic sentiment survey to span the globe on a quarterly basis, capturing answers from more than 2,000 CEOs representing companies of all sizes around the world.

Key findings

Economy strengthened in the second half of 2011. When asked about their assessment of the economy today versus six months ago, 43% of reporting CEOs said the overall conditions affecting their businesses had improved in the past six months, compared with 27% who held that view in the previous quarter. The reported improvement in economic conditions was widespread, with firms of all sizes in all sectors – production, construction and services – experiencing the upswing.

More than half expect economy to improve. When asked about their assessment of economic conditions six months from now compared with today, respondents’ outlook was even brighter. In this case, 51% expected the economy to improve over the next six months, compared with 30% who thought so last quarter. Moreover, only 8% thought economic conditions would deteriorate during that period of time, whereas in the prior quarter, 25% thought that would be the case. Once again, firms across all industries and of all sizes had a roughly similar economic outlook.

Sales outlook grows more favorable. Looking ahead 12 months, CEOs anticipated a robust sales pace. The YPO Sales Confidence Index climbed 3 points to the relatively lofty level of 67.8, just short of the 68.9 peak recorded in the first quarter of last year.

Outlook for capital spending improves. The YPO Fixed Investment Confidence Index for the United States followed the same positive pattern, rising 2.3 points to 60.5. This series had declined in each of the two previous quarters but then recovered much of what it lost by the January 2012 survey.

Commentary

“The Index declined in both the third and fourth quarters of 2011, but in recent months, it has become clear that GDP growth accelerated toward the end of the year, softening fears of a double dip and fanning optimism among business leaders,” said Alan Zafran, managing partner of California-based investment adviser Luminous Capital and a member of YPO’s Global One Chapter.

Stephen Slifer, YPO Global Pulse economic adviser and chief economist at NumberNomics, said, “The rising optimism seen in the latest YPO survey is consistent with recent economic reports indicating that the U.S. economy has finally begun to crank out a respectable number of new jobs. In addition, the upswing in optimism was almost certainly bolstered by indicators that the housing sector has finally begun to emerge from the doldrums.”

Global results

After declining for three straight quarters, the YPO Global Confidence Index rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2011, climbing 3.2 points to 61.2. Confidence was up in every region except Middle East/North Africa, non-EU Europe and Asia. It was largely buoyed by the Americas, where confidence levels jumped more than 4 points in Canada, Latin America and the United States. For the first time since the YPO survey began, Asia landed below the global reading and the United States came in above it. Confidence rose marginally in the European Union, but the region continues to be the global laggard.

YPO Global Pulse Confidence Index

The YPO Global Pulse Confidence Index combines CEO answers about expected and most-recent-quarter sales, employee numbers, fixed investment and business conditions. The Index is centered on 50. An Index reading below 50 indicates a negative outlook – the lower the number, the more negative the outlook. A reading above 50 indicates a positive outlook – the higher the number, the more positive the outlook.

Survey methodology

The quarterly electronic survey, conducted in the first two weeks of January 2012, gathered answers from 2,157 chief executive officers across the globe, including 1,166 in the United States. Globally, 27% of participants are from large companies (more than 500 employees), 38% from medium-sized companies (100-500 employees), and 35% from small companies (less than 100 employees). By business sector, 25% of participants are from the production sector, 9% from construction and 66% from the services sector. For more information, go to http://www.ypo.org/globalpulse.

Question by Screaming Poo: I’d like to learn electronics, where should I start?
Hey everyone. What would you suggest as a good method for learning electronics? I want to start building synths and other musical devices but don’t have any experience with electronics. Can you suggest any sites or books?

Best answer:

Answer by aviophage
You don’t mention your age or level of education. If you are in high school, you may have a course in electricity and electronics, though these are usually considered college courses. If you are eligible, you will find electronics courses at your local community college.

You cannot safely learn electronics from books or web sites alone. You have to have some personal teaching contact. So you need to take a classroom course. You will enjoy it.

Question by Jay: How should I begin learning electronics?
I am an avid guitarist and I would like to learn about building amplifiers. What specific area of electronics would I need to study, and would it be best to do so via classroom or simply by reading a book?

Best answer:

Answer by dave13
Find a book about building amplifiers. You can start be reading books, but it would be helpful to find a mentor along the way who can teach you about proper soldering techniques and troubleshooting.

The book will also tell you about what equipment you’ll need.

And, be sure to keep the smoke inside the wires and components.

Candle lights below a jacobs ladder makes more moving arcs then without the candle lights. A flame ionisized the air and a hot breeze is helping the electric arc moving up. The circuit works also with 120 volt AC.. Important is the higher voltage of 3000 volts , it is more tha a single MOT. A single MOT (Microwave Oven Transformator) have 2300 volt AC on the high voltage site. It maks a different.There is a voltage loss on the first MOT of …80 volts at the low voltage site at 230 volt power supply. This MOT wors as a inductivity and increase the radio frequency effects.

Internet TV Growth Propels Revenue for Online VoD and EST to Double by 2015, Says NPD In-Stat

(PRWEB) December 05, 2011

Internet-enabled TV devices, including Smart TVs, connected Blu-Ray players, game consoles, and streaming media players continue to grow their footprint within consumers’ homes. Already about 17 million US households currently own a connected TV, and ownership of streaming media players has nearly doubled since the end of 2010. Yet only a fraction of consumers that own an Internet-capable TV device actually connects it to the Internet to become over-the-top (OTT) video consumers. Despite this hurdle, the growing base of OTT-Video-capable US households is propelling the revenue for online video-on-demand (VoD) and electronic-sell-through (EST) to double by 2015, according to new NPD In-Stat (http://www.instat.com) research.

“OTT video is continuing to grow, overcoming the barriers of low device connect rates and cumbersome user interfaces,” says Keith Nissen, Research Director. “Even stronger growth of I-VOD and EST video services is possible if device manufacturers and digital retailers can put together a simpler, plug-n-play solution for getting online video to the TV (web-to-TV). The proliferation of tablets is also contributing to OTT growth.”

Some of the other factors affecting the OTT video market:

    Streaming video transactions will reach just under 1 billion in 2010.
    Netflix and other S-VOD suppliers are shifting to a more TV-centric model and will soon be competing directly with HBO, Showtime, and Starz.
    The collaborative and competitive models among physical and digital retailers, content owners, and pay TV operators are shifting rapidly as players in the ecosystem grapple with the evolving mix of physical versus digital channels, EST, pay-TV, OTT, and subscription VoD.

Recent NPD In-Stat research, OTT Video: Content, Devices, Retail, and Pay-TV Collide (#IN1104885CM), examines the current OTT video market, quantifying consumer usage of online services, as well as the impact on content and devices. The evolution of these market segments is analyzed, with the presentation of five-year subscriber, transaction, and revenue forecasts for each segment.

Company and product profiles include: Alphaline, Amazon Prime, Apple iTunes, Blockbuster, CinemaNow, Facebook, Hulu Plus, Netflix, Qriocity, Vudu, and YouTube

Innovative New Website Creates a New Approach to Marketing

Detroit, Mi (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

Deuceey.com is a recently-launched classifieds website that sticks out among the thousands of other similar websites. Created by Gary Pearson, Deuceey.com allows sellers to post videos of their item or service for people to view.

Deuceey.com is a fantastic example of how technology is changing the daily lives and routines of the world. Deuceey.com is now accepting new video classifieds to be featured on the website and encourages those that use “old-fashioned” classifieds to give the website a try.

Many people who use the Internet primarily for marketing their business or service will be able to turn to the website due to the convenience and innovative creativity to post their usual classifieds…but with a twist! This website completely eliminates the crowd that tends to waste sellers time by requesting to see an item or service in person first by allowing those interested to see the product in video-form. Those that use online classifieds frequently for posting claim it is a time-saver and allows more time to be focused on selling.

Individuals will be able to find great use of Deuceey.com, as well. Now selling cars, appliances, electronics, etc. has more of a successful posting than other sites, where only a picture can be posted. No other online classified site allows visitor to have a visual on whether or not a car, washer, dryer, plasma TV can actually work without visiting to see it first-hand. Sellers can demonstrate that the product works and give information on the product. Now sellers can get the job done and maintain their privacy at the same time.

Deuceey.com also has High School Sports Highlights. This section is designed to be a great aid in getting high school athletes noticed by as many colleges as possible. Simply upload your sports highlight recording for a chance at receiving scholarship offers. There is also a “Show Talent” feature on Deuceey. Whatever gift a user possesses may be showcased on Deuceey. Be it singing, skateboarding, painter, comedian, any talent that you want to market.

Dirty Electronics : Solder a Score @ ICA London


Image by asmo23
Dirty Electronics : Solder a Score @ ICA London 16th to 20th Feb 2011.

The composer and instrument maker John Richards takes up temporary residence in the gallery with Solder and Score, a unique participation opportunity for visitors to the ICA. Over the course of five days workshop attendees will build a large patchwork quilt-like instrument and co-write a musical score with John, culminating in a group performance and auction. Referring to his process as Dirty Electronics, Richards conjures electronic phenomena at odds to those found in today’s mass produced digital culture and utilises characteristics such as designer trash, hand-made, ready-made, hacked, bent, fedback and kitsch in the process.
For Live Weekends: Notation and Interpretation, the proposed workshops will immerse attendees in the interplay between process and performance beginning on the workbench, co-devising the modules that will form the ‘instrument’ and then extending onto the stage. The workshops will be informed by a musical score written especially for Dirty Electronics by sound artist Nicholas Bullen (founder member of Napalm Death and Scorn and a frequent collaborator with artist Mark Titchner).

Voltaic Launches Backpack Solar Laptop Charger

Array and Fuse 10W Solar Laptop Chargers

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

Voltaic Systems redefines the meaning of mobile computing with the launch of its two new solar laptop chargers, the Array and Fuse 10W. The Array is a rugged backpack and the Fuse 10W is designed to attach easily to other backpacks and bicycle racks. Both provide ample clean and renewable power for the demands of today’s portable electronics.

Created for workers and adventurers who travel far from power outlets, but still need to stay connected, the Array and Fuse 10W provide up to 30 minutes of laptop runtime for every hour in the sun. In addition to powering most modern laptops, they will also charge most tablets, professional digital cameras, and smartphones. When the sun is unavailable, the internal battery holds enough power to more than double the runtime on many laptops. The battery can also be re-charged from the included wall charger.

“Since we launched the first solar backpack in 2004, the number one customer request has been to make a backpack that charges laptops,” said Shayne McQuade, CEO of Voltaic Systems. “With the Array and Fuse 10W, we are giving our customers two great portable charging options.”

Voltaic is also launching the V60 Universal Laptop Battery, which provides backup power for laptops, tablets and smartphones.

10 Watts of Power for Fast Charging

Integrated into the front of the Array and Fuse 10W are three 3.4-Watt solar panels. Run times will vary by laptop, but these high-efficiency monocrystalline cells will power a MacBook Air for 30 minutes after 60 minutes in direct sun. The cells are encased in a clear, UV and scratch resistant coating, and backed by a rigid aluminum composite material. These rugged panels are waterproof and built to withstand the abuse of everyday use.

Flexible Charging

The Fuse 10W attaches to other objects including backpacks and bicycle racks using an innovative buckle and clip systems. The front section of the Array is detachable from the main body of the backpack and can be attached to objects the same way as the Fuse 10W.

High Output, Dual-Port Battery

The included V60 battery has 60 Watt hours of capacity, larger than most laptops’ internal battery. It will charge tablets up to twice and smartphones up to 8 times. The battery has two output ports: one for charging laptops and other high Voltage devices and a 5V USB port for charging phones, tablets and other low Voltage devices.

Power for Digital Cameras

Users can connect a car charger cradle for their digital camera battery for DSLR charging.

Full-Featured Backpack

The Array is designed to store and manage a wide range of electronics. It has 1,500 cubic inches of storage space, a padded laptop sleeve, waist strap, chest strap and an integrated phone pouch.

Key features and specifications of the Array ($ 389) and Fuse 10W ($ 339) include:

+ 10 Watts solar power – panels available in silver or charcoal

+ 60 Watt hour battery with 5V/2A, 12V/4A, 16V/3.5A and 19V/3A output

+ Charging cables with 5 standard phone and universal adapters and 9 standard laptop adapters to connect to most handheld electronics (MacBooks can be charged with Airline Adapter from Apple and Voltaic’s optional car charger socket)

+ 18″ high x 14″ wide x 8″ inches for the Array and 16.5” high x 10.5” wide x 1.25” wide for the Fuse 10W

+ About 5.5 pounds including solar panels and battery for the Array and 3.6 pounds for the Fuse 10W

+ Flexible ¾” and 1” buckle and strap system to attach to nearly anything

+ Waterproof fabric manufactured from recycled PET

Availability

The Array, Fuse 10W and V60 Universal Battery are available now on http://www.voltaicsystems.com and with select retailers. To purchase and for more information, go to http://www.voltaicsystems.com/array and http://www.voltaicsystems.com/fuse10w or http://www.voltaicsystems.com/v60

These days, many electronic cigarette companies are offering very cheap electronic cigarettes. The main reason for this is the increasing competition. But only one brand has a cheap price that doesn’t skip out its quality: the Smokebot Ann Arbor electronic cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes and its uses are increasing day by day with the advancement in technology. Getting you the cheapest electronic cigarette deals just requires you to visit www.thesmokebot.com.

The Smokebot Ann Arbor electronic cigarettes are offering electronic cigarettes fully featured with the advanced technologies and newest features at very reasonable and affordable prices.

They are made up of two components. The first component is the “Smoke”. The “Smoke” is an Advanced Soft Tip Cartridge that looks and feels like a tobacco cigarette. The second component is the “Bot” or battery. When the “Smoke” and “Bot” are attached to one another, they are combined to create your very own “Smokebot Ann Arbor electronic cigarettes“.

]]>

Each new “Smoke” (Advanced Cartridge) comes with a built-in atomizer. The atomizer is a device that vaporizes the nicotine into a water vapor. One of the many things that makes Smokebot Ann Arbor electronic cigarettes unique and are of high quality is that its atomizer is attached to its cartridge. It is called cartomizer, cartridge and atomizer in one. The advantage of this is that when you’re done with one cartridge and replaces it with a new one, you are also replacing a new atomizer attached to it. In this manner, bacteria that grow on atomizers will not be left on your electronic cigarette. You no longer have the problem of sanitizing your atomizer which causes you a lot of effort and time doing this everytime you are changing your cartridge. Other electronic cigarettehas three parts: the battery, cartridge and atomizer. This means that their atomizers are not disposable. Since they are not disposable and cannot be replaced everytime you are changing your cartridges, after two weeks of using, you will notice the less smoke it produced after each puff because residues clogs inside the atomizer.

The Smokebot Ann Arbor electronic cigarettes are a real wise investment. Visit www.thesmokebot.com and avail the best electronic cigarette deals for yourself.

Question by Rick: Where should I start to learn basic electronics?
Just for fun I wouldn’t mind learning basic electronics.

Where should I start?

Best answer:

Answer by veeyesvee
Electronics : You can start with resistors, and see how one can get 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9V from a 12V battery. read and understand resistors in series and parallel. Do some simple experiments if you can with the knowledge acquired.
Do use low voltage ac such as from secondary of a transformer and get say 12V . then divide it by two resistors to get 8V or 4V or 2.5V.. Calculate resistors required to form the divider as it is called.
Learn about capacitors, and see how you can get a lower voltage from a 12V 60 hz ac using C and R.
Then learn about diodes, and how they conduct only on one side.
then graduate to make your own ac to dc converter that can possibly me measured in a dc voltmeter. get to understand how meters can be used. [It is always better to have a guide or a teacher..]
Learn about transistors, and get to understand regulators. What is a regulated supply. how can one make a regulated supply using a zener ? is there an alternative etc?
After that read some texts and answer questions in basic electronics therein.
Have a look at what Wikipedia says about electronics. At least read the chapters freely available on lessons in electric circuits by Kuphaldt.

Dirty Electronics : Solder a Score @ ICA London

Dirty Electronics : Solder a Score @ ICA London 16th to 20th Feb 2011.

The composer and instrument maker John Richards takes up temporary residence in the gallery with Solder and Score, a unique participation opportunity for visitors to the ICA. Over the course of five days workshop attendees will build a large patchwork quilt-like instrument and co-write a musical score with John, culminating in a group performance and auction. Referring to his process as Dirty Electronics, Richards conjures electronic phenomena at odds to those found in today’s mass produced digital culture and utilises characteristics such as designer trash, hand-made, ready-made, hacked, bent, fedback and kitsch in the process.
For Live Weekends: Notation and Interpretation, the proposed workshops will immerse attendees in the interplay between process and performance beginning on the workbench, co-devising the modules that will form the ‘instrument’ and then extending onto the stage. The workshops will be informed by a musical score written especially for Dirty Electronics by sound artist Nicholas Bullen (founder member of Napalm Death and Scorn and a frequent collaborator with artist Mark Titchner).

This section of the website is one of several great tools to help visitors stay informed.

According to Electronic Cigarette Direct, e-cigs are currently classified neither as tobacco products nor as medical devices in the UK. It’s possible that MHRA will classify them as drug delivery devices in the future, which could set the evolution of e-smoking back many years.

Question by Chaitanya: What additional courses should an electronics and communication engineering engineering student do?
I am a first year electronics and communication engineering student. Which additional courses can I do during my engineering so that I have advantage when I finish my engineering?

Best answer:

Answer by dd_100in
You are in first year only. Don’t worry right now. I am in final year electrical and I can assure you ambitions change from the time you get into college and the time you are about to leave it. In the next three four years, you will most probably realize what you really want to do, which at this point of time, apart from exceptional cases, few people realize. Maybe you won’t want to stay in engineering and may wish to shift to finance (which is my position). In this case, if you do engineering related courses right from first year, you may regret it later in terms of the fact that you will realize it isn’t coming of much use to you as you want to shift fields or whatever may be your case. Of course, you may indeed want to stay in engineering and for that you can use IT courses to diversify your field of expertise or you may go for embedded systems courses. You are in first year, there is a lot of time, don’t worry.

Electronic cigarettes are a smoking alternative that contain no tar or tobacco. The electronic cigarette can be ‘smoked’ anywhere, even where it’s illegal to smoke traditional cigarettes. It produces no second hand smoke and no displeasing odor. Please visit a E-cig benefits page for more information on how this electronic cigarette device can benefit your life.

Fiction: Sales of electronic cigarettes are aimed at children.
Fact: Electronic cigarettes are for people who already smoke and either want to be able to satisfy their cravings in public places or as an aid to quit smoking.

Electronic cigarette manufacturers promote correct product labeling, urge retail sellers to check age identification and, they would like to point out that reputable electronic cigarette companies, as standard practice, verify the age of every purchaser before completing online purchase transactions. A recent U.S. industry survey of e-cigarette users shows and average age of 44 years. Add to all of that the average price of around 0, and it is quite obvious that e-cigarettes are not within the budgets of most children.

Fiction: Electronic cigarette cartridges are offered in various flavors as a way to attract underage customers.
Fact: There are many adult-use products on the market that come in different flavors.

Everyone of every age has their own taste preferences. Most consumable products on the market offer a variety of flavors, colors, shapes and styles to capture the attention of a wide range of customers. The idea that electronic cigarette cartridges come in different flavors in order to attract adolescent customers is ludicrous. It’s the same as saying that nicotine gum, designed specifically to help smokers quit smoking, comes in mint, fruit and cinnamon flavors in order to appeal to children. Electronic cigarettes are intended solely for current smokers of legal age.

Fiction: Electronic cigarettes are a ready source of nicotine for non-smokers.
Fact E-cigarettes are designed for, and marketed to, people who currently smoke, as an alternative to traditional cigarettes.

]]>

There is a wide selection of nicotine products on the market, including traditional cigarettes and nicotine gum and lozenges. There has been no proof shown that people who don’t want to smoke use nicotine replacement products and, in a recent industry survey of a sample of electronic cigarette customers, 96% said they were smokers and 4% said they has purchased the product for a friend or family member who is a smoker.

Fiction: Nobody knows what is contained in electronic cigarettes.
Fact: The contents of electronic cigarettes have been tested and are well-documented.

Laboratories from many different countries run testing procedures on the vapor produced by electronic cigarettes. While the results vary slightly between manufacturers, the outcome of these tests have shown that there are about 20 ingredients in the vapor, including nicotine, all of which are considered to be safe when use in accordance with correct instructions. Tobacco smoke contains about 4,000 ingredients, including carbon monoxide, arsenic and numerous carcinogenic chemicals.

Fiction: Excessive nicotine is taken in through e-cigarettes, due to a lack of governance.
Fact: Electronic cigarettes contain a much lower amount of nicotine than other tobacco replacement products.

Consumption of traditional cigarettes and nicotine replacement products, including electronic cigarettes, must be controlled by the end users. Manufacturers are required by law to put complete instructions and warnings on the packaging, so the necessary information is always available. Whether or not the printed information is taken into regard is down to the individual consumer.

Electronic cigarettes provide a significantly lower nicotine intake than do other products already accepted into the marketplace. Traditional cigarettes transport 1.0 to 1.5 mg of nicotine. Multiply that by 13.9, the average number of cigarettes smoked per person, per day, and that brings you to 14 to 21 mg of nicotine per day. Nicotine replacement products are labeled with intake instructions that provide between 6 and 48 mg of nicotine per day.

The cartridges in electronic cigarettes, as designed and produced by different manufacturers, provide 0 to 16 mg of nicotine on full consumption. That’s about 300 inhales. Recent studies have shown that e-cigarette user inhale, on average, 62.8 times per day. This means that the average daily intake of nicotine for e-cigarette customers is 3.36 mg of nicotine per day. That’s much less than with traditional cigarettes or nicotine replacement products.

Fiction: It isn’t possible to legally market e-cigarettes in the U.S.
Fact: There has been no formal guidance from the FDA regarding the use of electronic cigarettes.

There have been some instances of manufacturers losing their rights to import e-cigarettes, but there has been only informal FDA commentary regarding the issue; there has been nothing said on an official basis. The FDA presides only over the regulation of drugs and medical equipment; electronic cigarettes do not fall under either of those categories.

Fiction: It is possible to get people to stop smoking by making it unacceptable to society.
Fact: For the first time since 1965, the use of tobacco products in the U.S. increased in 2008.

For 30 years, tobacco usage declined in the U.S. but, in spite of three decades of awareness education, legislative action and a multi-billion dollar market for nicotine replacement products, in 2008, tobacco usage saw an increase.
There are people in even the most stringent anti-smoking societies, who are going to take up smoking. In order to increase improvements in public health, this actuality must be acknowledged and new products, with a lower health hazard, need to be introduced and accepted into the marketplace.

Fiction: Nicotine is detrimental to your health.
Fact: Over time, the use of nicotine is significantly safer than the use of tobacco products.

Nicotine, when combined with tobacco smoke, can be hazardous. On a standalone basis, nicotine has not been found to cause cancer in healthy tissue and is non-mutagenic.
According to the Royal College of Physicians, there is no basis for the belief that long-term nicotine use will manifest itself in long range ill health effects.
Reputable manufacturers of electronic cigarettes provide correct and full information on their packaging, regarding who should and should not use their products and the addictive traits of nic
