Very well done, covers the issue quite well.

The only thing I can suggest to improve understanding for someone who knows nothing about PVs, or has been fed misinformation, is to include a short, simplified description of how the PV creates vapor from liquid, 90-100% of which is Generally Recognized As Safe by the FDA. Make them aware that the "smoke" is not particulates from burning tobacco, but tiny droplets of fog fluid.

Max, these are quotes from the article:

The electronic cigarette is known as a personal vaporizer, as it produces a fine mist or vapor, similar to the steam from a cup of hot coffee.

The fact that personal vaporizer owners are no longer smoking is difficult for non-smokers and smoke-free advocates to understand, because vapor looks similar in appearance to smoke.

Aside from putting electronic cigarette owners back into the toxic cloud produced by tobacco smoke, personal vaporizer owners point out that their vapor doesn’t contain the amounts of lethal toxins nor does it behave in the same manner as cigarette smoke. The vapor isn't created unless actively in use, unlike the smoke that continuously comes from a lit cigarette and it doesn't appear to travel more than a couple of feet from the user. It also tends to dissipate more quickly than smoke, making it fairly undetectable and unobtrusive for those nearby, so presenting the two as the same thing is misleading.

Kristin or.....
Does there need to be something from you indicating your permission to use the article? I started putting together an e-mail to my local paper and it occurred to me this may be a concern. Babe in the woods regarding such things.

Thanks
