ECA - On Good Morning America

Not disingenuous at all. Avid viewer of C-SPAN. Basing my opinion on what I've seen and heard.

Then we must agree to disagree, as I am also a major C-SPAN junky (just check out my many posts on the topic) and have come to a very different conclusion. By way of example, you might want to check the transcripts of some of Senator McCain's statements on the subject.

Somebody help me out here -- I can't ever recall seeing the neighborhood kiddies scurry about for this product. And, check out the marketing line that I added to the sub-thread title...

Sazerac Company: 99 Flavored Schnapps

lol did anyone else see the black ash tray on the lady at works desk some one tell her to atleast but that away

WTF? Those are two of my favorite flavors, and they aren't being marketed toward ANYBODY. When is the last time you saw a tv ad, radio ad or even a banner ad that said: "Try the delicious new Cola e-cigarette liquid!" ???

lol I think you misunderstood. I agree with you. Just simply trying to say that I can understand how people who are anti-smoking would go there. The taste of smoking is something that is aquired where it's obvious that a kid would like chocolate or cola or something. Again, this is not to say that I think these flavors exist to attract kids, I like them too, but I can see where this would seem troubling to someone who hasn't the knowledge of someone who vaporizes.

My home consumes at least one case of coke, and at least a 6 pack of redbull a week. My fiance is older than I am and he wont Vape, unless he has no other choice. I am nearly 10 years younger than he is, and I do vape. Not for the cool factor, but for scent factor. Smelling like an ashtray is NOT cool by anyone's standards.

I would rather people vape over smoking. At least when I am around them my eyes wont water, and I wont sneeze.

I also enjoy flavors such as Peach Blast, Banana Blast, Chocolate and Strawberry, Chocolate and coffee... Oh... and Vanilla Coke.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Next time someone tells me in person that this is something that is marketed towards kids... I am going to make them a very nasty drink, or just serve them unflavored yogurt. See how they like that.

I agree with you on this. I'm saying that I think it's NOT very realistic to think that e-cigs are being marketed towards kids. My point was (and sorry for being unclear) through my own experience talking to younger people that smoke I've found that they aren't interested in e-cigs. Where older folks that are concerned for their health really want to make the change. BTW yes vanilla coke is awesome once you get the mix right lol.

That was MEEEEEE. First shot was me smoking my penstyle. They must have gotten it from the ABC affiliate when I did my interview...too funny

Your a star!!

I think the flavour issue is hilarious. I started smoking when I was 13, plain ol' tobacco cigarette flavour. Do they really think more young ppl would start smoking if there were flavoured cigs? Do they think the lack of flavouring has kept young ppl from starting smoking? I didn't start smoking bc I thought I'd get to experience a taste sensation.

Started smoking regularly at around 15.. Started with Winston red. Later moved to Camel, then after many many issues with bronchitis moved to menthol.
Never got bronchitis again after the switch.
Agree it has nothin to do with flavorings. If I wanted candy at 15 I would have just ate candy.

These updates are very informative, and I do appreciate them. As I do not list any of our products in a health related capacity. I was looking at my e-mail and I saw the video of Obama stating he will answer the most popular questions the public has related to the new healthcare bill.

I see a golden opportunity since obama already owns one of these devices.

What if everyone around the USA wrote in a specific question wondering if the healthcare system plans to regulate the e-cig so pharmacies and politicians can get their hands on the device. And will these devices be included in the healthcare plan. And is the FDA planning to continue to ban this product illegally since it is not part of the New tobacco bill...HMM?

It is sneaky, but it is a way to get this heard nationally? What say you.
Anyone?

More than likely, the President has not tried the one given to him. For all he knows, it may have contained poison (no pun intended), unless it was tested by the Secret Service or whoever, then he probably has not tried it...then again, maybe he did, who knows... if he did, I think he would be a avid supporter of the product.

Oh god. They are just reaching to use every excuse they can now aren't they
"Many people will continue to smoke regular cigarettes along with this now"

1.) Well no ****! A small minority may quit completely at a extremely low price!
2.) If you continue to smoke cigarettes and e-cigs than it seems that the latter is something that you seem to think is more dangerous
3.) Cigarettes are worse, refer to two
4.) It's my choice, like smoking a cigarette is my choice
5.) even when I was five years old I'm fairly confident that if some kid told me to smoke something and said it tasted like strawberry I'd say no and ask my parents. We can't be responsible for other peoples retarded children
6.) ... you
