You will notice that his article is in response to an op ed from the USA Today editorial board that also appeared today called, "Our opinion on public health: E-cigarettes pose risks" Look that one up and then let's all go and comment on both of them.

Notice the ridiculousness of the reference to China? The mention of a refusal for testing? Wrapping the statements of a few into the sentiment of the entire e-cig community?

All of these are points to take exception to.

Thanks Lacey!

Just noticed that the LA Times article that was posted last week has a load of additional negative comments. Let's look at getting some better commentary on that article as well.
