American Chronicle | HOW TO QUIT SMOKING EVERY DAY

This "humorist" doesn't love e-smoking. Small snippet to insult us below:

I´ve just watched the promotional video of four postprandial, smoke-free smokers in a fine restaurant, all smoking their smokeless smokes, sucking on their electro-butts and blowing out imaginary smoke like jittery suspects in a mad hatter´s holding cell interrogation.

Ever see a kid "smoke" a candy cigarette? That´s how you´ll look as a grown-up.

Wow! Not even a try for him?

He must be an ex-smoker looking down his nose...

That guy spent more time trash talking e-cigs then anything else! All based on one promotional video and his battery "research". "Don't our mouths operate on water?" What an idiot. Your mouth obviously operates on bull.....!

[Zach]

Don't our mouths operate on water?
What the hell does that even mean?

[Mr.Darcy]

he obviously watched the Ruyan promotional video...and it is kinda crap actually...

but thats hardly an in depth analysis of esmoking-watching one video...

this is another idiot who passes judgement without doing any research...unfortunately theres a lot of it about...

[dnakr]

Boy did he slam e-smoking. We should bombard his office with all the info he should have read.

[Ezandria]

Naw. He might get all excited. Better leave it up to the actual research that will be made public to make him look like a fool.

I think his reaction to e-smoking is a testament to the terrible marketing some companies use.

There are too many e-cig sites that just look plain dodgy. Their marketing practices reek of spam and are sometimes quite dishonest. Anyone with a brain who encounters some of these websites should be instantly sceptical. I can't blame the guy for having the wrong idea about e-smoking. But that doesn't mean I don't think he's an arrogant fool for not doing his research and getting all high and mighty.

It amazes me how the anti-smoking lobby have been so successful that they don't even bother with logic, evidence nor reason.

One would have thought a journalist might have a care for one of these three things but having "worked them"; i.e., fed them a line, I've come to know better. Many a time I told myself "they'll not swallow this!" Years ago I'd have edited a press release to attempt a better balance but later I didn't much bother - write a press release in the style they need, they copy it, don't research but just put their own names to it.

I did my job, they were happy getting copy in early and the public were misinformed.

Glad I don't do that kind of work any more.

Just read the article . . eh, he's harmless. Just trying to put words in front of other words to fill a column.
