The media has to ask the right questions to come close to the right answers.

I hope lots of people read that USA Today piece. Kudos and credit where it's due...

The question your editorial board should be asking is not, "Is it safe to 'vape' ?" You should be asking, "Is it safer to continue smoking tobacco cigarettes?"

Very well worded!!!

I just Googled "vaping safer" and my leter is coming out in the top 3 spots, as well as #5, #7 and #8. Partway down the page I ran across this. The ideas are good, but it reads as though it has been translated from another language into English.

Elaine fires the first shot for CASAA!

That's awesome, thanks again vocalek.

I wondered what the "Buzz Up" button at the top was all about, so I clicked it. If you have a Yahoo login, it counts as a vote for the story. You can even leave a comment.

I buzzed it up but didn't leave a comment. I'll keep an eye on it and perhaps chime in when circumstances call for it.

Good job Vocalek! Imagine if more of these type of letters and articles made the print like this?

It just shows that while we have little funding, we can make a difference. Even small ones.
