Obama Receiving an E-Cig For Valentine’s Day

[Sun Vaporer]

As reported here, E-cig Distibutor, InLife's is sending Obama an E-cig for Valentine’s day, so they will surely be on the radar now. Also interesting comment from the son of the late R.J. Reynolds with regards to the E-Cig who stated: "It's provocative; it's the bad boy without tars". Too bad they gave a plug to Smoking Everywhere and the Reporter was only familiar with "at least two versions of the electronic cigarette"—surely not a member of the Forum, but it does go to show the lack of knowledge about the electronic cigarette here in the US–--Sun See Blown Away by Lighting Up | www.lagunabeachindependent.com | Laguna Beach Independent

Ha, that article is cool. I didnt even know that obama smokes, would be interesting if he was to quit and start on the ecigs, and kinda promote them or something. Also makes you wonder about what the big tobacco companies are thinking about e cigs if even Reynolds is impressed.

First off, InLife is also known as Revellie, and they are mostly an MLM scheme, like amway meets e-cigs.

But regardless, their e-cigs are $129. THe President and congresspeople can't accept gifts over $50. SO this is just a stunt.

Wow, I don't think that is cool at all. Man, it is truly inevitable that these are going to be banned. This is our President, People! He is not a commercial prop!!! Suppliers are really asking to be put out of business.

Good point Leford--but it sounds like he is selling them out of a bar or something to that effect and maybe he will drop the price down to 50.00 for Valantine's day--I can not get in their head to find out what they are thinking--but since it is a small community newspaper--everybody in that town is going to what to hear the follow up on the gift. So they are going to look like fools if they do not deliver--anyway I am just citing to our members what is being reported in a newspaper, maybe Tropical Bob can find out more from a fellow Reporter?--Sun

I wonder if they'll put a nice presidential seal on it like this?

You are spot on Tribble--I hear you and concur. That would be a "big dose of gasoline on a lite cigarette" if they gift that off to Obama and it makes its way to one of the major news wires--I will wait to see what Tropical Bob has to say---Sun

InLife and SafeCig both seem determined to get to him e-smoking one way or another, whether its with billboards or newspaper articles. It's shamless self-promotion at any cost and neither posess one iota of logic.

They're going to make him sorry he ever smoked an analog in public.

Tribble- The only suppliers they care about are themselves.

Hmm guess i was looking at this the wrong way, i certainly dont want these to be banned. Well, now im kinda wondering how this will play out or if its simply just a bunch of B.S. anyway!!

A similar stunt was pulled by crown7 recently. I never heard anything from other wire services. I don’t even know if they really sent one at all. I don’t like this marketing ploy. It seems to have become somewhat of a trend. If he (The President) actually uses a device sent to him from a company, that company has every right to give a press release. This whole “I just sent one” now lets send out a press release is just low.
