What a twisted one sided news artical on the Sacramento Bee

[Painter_]

I really like this line - "A nicotine solution is suspended in propylene glycol, the chemical compound used in stick deodorant ..."

Did you see the patch add on the bottom lol

Remind them that PG is also an ingredient in beer.

Cool, I did not know this.

If they did a news story on me, they might say, "Grandmother of four makes bath soap with a dangerous, caustic chemical used in drain cleaners." That would be lye, of course. And it's infinitely more hazardous than propylene glycol. ALL soap is made with lye; soap can't be made without lye. And to think we actually rub the stuff all over our bodies every day! My goodness, what will we do next?!

"Journalism", bah! They should change the name to "sensationalism". I never watch the news...

By the way, if you click the link in that article to send a letter, you'll notice the article was published in 2006. Not much has changed in over 7 years, huh?

Such a good point.... we should make a list of other products where we could use a fake 'scare factor' in describing them. All the mandatory listing of almost any drug ad on TV is just as laughable.

Scaramento, eh? Hmmm...

That bill [Ellen Corbett's bill, shot down last session] should be resurrected and signed into law in California, along with a measure introduced last week by Assemblyman Roger Dickinson, D-Sacramento, that would limit the Internet sale of tobacco products – including e-cigarettes and vape pipes – to brick-and-mortar retailers. The FDA, too, should treat e-cigarettes like real ones, including banning their insidious ads.

Article is packed with sly innuendo, as well as a gratuitous ad hominem attack on CASAA. Wonder who put Ms. Hubler up to this. Hmmm...

(I have to give her half a star for originality, tho. This is the first time I've seen ecig ads described as "insidious"...)

Could the initials be SG or EH?

Also in Mio drink additives, amongst MANY other things we consume & use.

 

[Talyon]

Well now that ecigs are insidious I see what all the hoopla is about, man ima just have to quit. I'm so bad.

A nicotine solution is suspended in propylene glycol, the chemical compound used in stick deodorant, and released when the user sets off a small heating element and sucks on the “filter.”

Yow. I wonder why my armpits aren't burning, since there's a heating element in my stick deodorant. Sucking stuff out of one's armpits....that's just disgusting!

is what happens when someone takes aim at a "hit job." Vapers need to do more of that. Pro-vaping organizations could lead the way.
