    I like the way the public debate is shaping up. This is an incredibly good piece of PR for e-cigarettes.

    Good Article--this quote seems very promising with regards to safety--but of course the Politics and Money will most likey win:

    "Dr Nitzkin estimated that if every smoker in the US smoked electronic cigarettes the resulting death toll would be between 400 and 4000 a year.
    The compares to the 400,000 estimated deaths caused by smoking regular cigarettes."

    Associated content is just a community forum. At least it shows up in google news, so maybe a few people will happen upon these articles.

    The LA Times article will reach far more people.

    I'm optimistic that they won't get away with it this time. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

    Yes, and that one was quite positive too. The attempt at scare tactics appears to be fizzling.

    Now there's a novel approach, printing the truth, I can't say I've seen a lot of that lately.

    That puts me in an awkward mental position. I hate filibusters because IMO they're a betrayal of the democratic process.

    It really is hard for everyone to look the other way when you have Doctor's making statements like that one--I contend that as more Doctors jump on board about it being much safer then Analogs--the Politics may very well turn in our favor------Sun
