A good article on CNN iReport. At the bottom of the article, vote "This belongs on CNN" to get more media coverage.

From the article:
My first thought: Nice job Linda, you just done went and alienated yourself from the WHO.
Second thought: Interesting that a researcher type would use the words "what users already know." That's very refreshing admission, while also being a plausible knock on science, or how knowledge is arrived at.
Third thought, that I didn't catch at first: I think you missed how valuable flavors are to those who are into vaping to quit smoking. A word search on the string of letters "flav" only had this come up once in the piece, and mentioned in passing. IOW, downplayed.
Fourth thought: The final statement of this (second quoted) paragraph from Bauld is so refreshing from both scientific and political perspective, I am nearly speechless.

Thanks, DCBD!
Here's another good article about the King's College study:
King's College London - E-cigarettes - does type and frequency of use influence quitting amongst smokers?

Same here; these articles that force you to login just to vote or comment give me such a pain. I tweeted it instead.
Andria
Using FB, G+, or Disqus is easy... but these little podunk newspapers that want you to create an account just for them... um NO.
CNN, well I figured they might have a few other articles I want to comment on so I went for it.
One of the few semi-positive pieces on ecigs by CNN.... many 'exploding batts', poison, gateway, oversight overdue, etc. etc. etc.
The login is for the "iReport" section of CNN, not a small newspaper. Sorry, I should have made than more clear. As for creating an account, it was worth the 60 seconds to get the message to CNN.
Sorry I wasn't clear - wasn't meaning to imply this is a small newspaper, I was just responding to Andria.
Thanks again for bringing this to our attention - hopefully it will make it onto CNN's main site, and maybe the tv.
Do the anti-vaping articles get an automatic green light while pro-vaping articles like this one are test marketed, first?
Keep it in mind that the New England Journal of Medicine is the mouthpiece of the Harvard oligarchy that controls the health establishment and the mass media. They're the problem.
If vapers were paying the same amount in taxes that they would spend as smokers medical authorities would endorse vaping and news coverage would be the reverse of what we see.
I vape 6 ml per day of 1.2 mg nic. which is costing me about $1. Cigarettes cost me $8 and may be $6 of that went for taxes. When I go DIY the daily cost will be about 25 cents per day. Preserving even a fraction of tobacco taxes appears very impractical so the stratagy is to discourage smokers from switching and preserve access to tobacco by children as they have always had. (All jurisdictions have laws against possession of tobacco by children which are never enforced.)

Sofarsogood, that is exactly right. It is about the revenue and nothing, not one single thought in the minds of health officials or public servants leans towards public health or anything that may have a chance at benefiting it if it means a loss in revenue for their own causes or systems.
This is the thing that needs to come to light and have names attached to it, when those who are paid to serve through our tax dollars in the capacity of protecting the health of the public take positions based on the propagation of their own jobs rather than the true goal of their positions they are guilty of gross negligence of their duty and quite possibly of crimes against humanity. We are talking about levels of human harm greater than that of countries the US has sanctioned in the past for their misdeeds. The fallout here could very well see a great many of these "players" in prison for a very long time for the way they are conducting themselves in these jobs if the pressure stays up and they are taken to task when the last ball falls.

Would be great if this happened but those who are in charge will be retired and two PHD candidates in the Cincinnati office will be blamed. The others will become consultants or lobbyists.
Is anyone forcing non vapers to take up vaping? As far as I know that is not the case. And we aren't hurting anyone but ourselves possibly. Why can't they just leave us alone? Millions of people all over the world are addicted to alcohol but I don't see anyone crying out for studies on it. Why is it that people can drink themselves to death but when we vape it's like Satan has descended to Earth?
