The crowd is a collection of true believers. They revel in the ever-thickening haze in the small, tastefully appointed space at 723 Vapor, tricked out like a bachelor pad with cow-spotted rugs and low-slung leather chairs.

Another rather pretentious piece that appears 'fair and balanced' but hits on every ANTZ point - ie just furthers the propaganda points of poison, kids use doubles, 'tiny particles' pollution, and additionally depicts vapers as "religious" (which she personally disdains) as true believers, the faithful and zealous - when that more closely describes the anti-ecig crowd - who are more puritanical and 'know what's best for the masses'. Vapers on the other hand are more 'it's none of your business' types.

I love reading the comments of the readers. They know more than the so called 'experts'!

100% agree. A thinly-veiled attempt to portray vapers as a fringe group of zealous "science deniers" acting out against the pure intentions of "public health". How ironic, when you think that ANTZ are the actual satanic cult trying to sacrifice over 1.2 billion smokers on the altar of their BP paymasters, all in the pursuit of an arbitrary moralistic agenda.

Yep, they're the 'true believers' who wrongly think they can change the nature of man from a rationally self-interested individual into their version of the altruistic, collectivist state approved robot. Wondering if the "writer" ever read the book The True Believer: Thoughts On The Nature Of Mass Movements by fellow Longshoreman Philosopher, Eric Hoffer - a top 10 book in my library.... If she did, then she missed a lot of the key concepts and descriptions. She's a bit of an odd bird herself - radical feminist but pro-life secularist - with most of her other views strictly peace and love pacifist - who btw, like most of them, would have no problem using violence or threat of violence in carrying out her views on people who don't agree with her ....and makes up fake 'harms' to justify such intervention.
