CBC Newsworld talked about e-cigs

[billster88]

It was all positive..as far as i am concerned..they spoke with some researchers in Alberta that were testing the various brands and said that it looked to be a viable and safer alternative to tobacco smoking...can anyone find the bit and post it somewhere here for all to see..BTW..I was called last week for an upcoming interview for smokestik.com..I will keep you posted on when that is going to happen..hope that's ok to tell people in this forum(is it SJ?)

It was a positive report. Go to the CBC.ca news homepage and look on the right column for Audio & Video box. Its the third video at the moment.

Thanks Greg!! Definitely a positive review. Nice to see public health officials on our side, even without concrete evidence that our devices are healthier. Here's the link if anyone is interested:

Thanks for putting the link up..... guess I don't have enough posts yet to put in any url's.

And I don't think or feel that they are on OUR side. I think, for now, its simply a matter of them not knowing how to say "NO" to it yet until someone finds a way to write it into the Tobacco Act and Tax the hell out of it.

Just wait, it won't be long I'm sure........

Yes, it was a very good report. I was happy to see that they had some public health officals trying them. To me it seems like a step in the right direction.

I noticed in that site's forum they are going to be investigating e-cigarettes (they are currently mostly about snu[s|ff]) so there may be some new science published.
