This is one of the longer articles I have seen on our new device. I think I will be writing or emailing the doctor in Atlanta.

"It will be easy for kids to get the product," Light tells WebMD. "It could be a way to get kids into the nicotine habit to get them to smoke. It is a ploy."

Here's a quote that I find unintentionally hilarious:
"They are nicotine delivery devices intended to be used like a cigarette. What happens to someone who stops inhaling the tars of cigarettes and inhales only nicotine? We don't know. There is at least the potential for harm."
-- Norman Edelman, MD, chief medical officer, American Lung Association
I find it interesting that in all of these articles, never has the FDA claimed to have found harmful additives in these products. If this is truly something they want to get rid of, surely they've tested the juice. If they had found anything serious, they'd have been holding that up as a reason for a ban.
Isn't nicotine pretty much on par with caffeine in terms of harmful effects? How come people aren't picking on the Nabob man?
Somehow, this doesn't have the same shock value...
