I can't think of something clever to say. This piece reduced my IQ down to far.

Some people just need a kick in the ass.

That is some rank tripe you have there--- from an ABC affiliate no less...

Anyhow the part about flavors making it marketed to children... No offense but don't the OTC (Over the counter with no prescription) lozenges come in among others things cherry and cappuccino flavor or the gums come in flavors like Fruit Chill, Cinnamon Surge, Ice Mint, and Wint-O-Green.... Wait I know those are marketed to children also.

complete biased reporting as almost all media is now days.
PURE BS

That's why the companies that manufacture eliquids need studies to prove whether or not the claims the FDA is making are true or not!

Without testing we can't win!

That was some of the ranker tripe in the article... As I understand it there were 2 lots, of many, that had the DG in small amounts in it. Most likely a QA issue-- like when that peanut butter had a little E-Coli in it. It wasn't supposed to be in there but sometimes this does happen. Saying that non-one knows what is in the fluid because two lots , which listed PG, water, flavor, and nicotine in it also had some DG is like saying nobody knows what is in your Jiff because the ingredients list peanuts, oil, sugar, and salt and the FDA found some E-Coli in some lots. Complete BS.

So when you're smoking e-cigarettes, you may be inhaling antifreeze.

That is so stupid coming from someone with a BS Biology degree. Maybe his BS degree is actually Bull**** in Biology

My favorite part is how they said they want to hear what "you" think. Last night there was a positive vaping comment on the article and today it is gone (They deleted it)...

They don't really want to know what you think--- they are just .... well we do have mixed company here.

This bit of reporting was nothing more than an attempt to drive public opinion. Its pretty sad to see this coming from a local TV station of mine.
