Wow, front page. They didn't give that much attention to the UK study. Then again, good news just isn't news.
Even when they did report it, they attempted to scare people away from vaping:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/20/health/e-cigarettes-help-smokers-quit/
It looks as though any positive stories about vaping are put through test marketing, probably rejected for publishing if they get trace levels of no votes. I don't think this one survived:
Want to Quit Smoking? Studies Suggest Vaping Daily Is Best Way to Kick the Habit for Good - CNN iReport
Yeah they are a news business. They exist to get ratings and make money. If we expect them to be responsible and honestly report real facts, then that's our own fault and we should know better.
Huge Rolly Eyes.
People are gonna use things for what ever they have a mind to.
It's not always tobacco in cigarette rolling papers either...
AND !!! If kids aren't doing what they are supposed to be doing in class - teachers and parents need to address THAT issue.

I was just about to post this junk propaganda. Ok, So yes, people are getting OD'ed from synthetic drugs but what is the real percentage of them ingesting/snorting them vs vaping. I personally have never heard of anyone using a Ego to vape synthetics
It's a typical scare piece. I can't even see a comments section option, so there is no chance to even criticize the articles anymore.
Government may well use this type of tactic to strip this away from us. They will still know full well it is to protect their bottom line and they know full well the Abusers will simply move on the the next easy resource.
Didn't Germany suffer totalitarian control some decades back?

How the hell is vaping "drugs"? Wow that is some major league government propaganda bull.... right there. Typical scare tactics to get the ignorant dumb middle american health nuts whipped up. Anyone see the movie, "They Live"? The scene where Roddy Piper's character puts the sunglasses on that let him see as things really are, all the propaganda hidden in plain sight.
Where are the articles demonizing McDonalds and all the sugar in foods for making everyone so damn fat?

I have no sympathy for some one stupid enough to do (OTHER STUFF), but to equate that with vape pens that are harmless with PG & VG liquid? Total crap. Make no mistake, big tobacco supports these articles because they want vaping to be so restricted that people just say to hell with it and just all go back to smoking cigarettes again. That's very possible if these kinds of scaremongering articles continue.

looks like they're pulling out the big guns now ... this is to help fuel a ban on open tank vapes 
The gov told CNN to shut that down ages ago, along with all the other major news outlets. Now you can only comment on a limited selection of news reports.

I believe they felt the need to respond to and counter the positive developments in the UK.
Where are all the reports in the media about the tons and tons of people who have quit smoking regular cigarettes because of vaping alone? And these people who always claim to be so obsessively worried about kids, what about the fact that youth smoking has declined immensely in recent years in tandem with vaping increasing? Where are those articles?
Sorry, but that is considered good news, therefore, it won't sell, so it doesn't count as news. They need controversy, fear and danger. Danger to America's middle class children is the best kind of danger. That stuff sells like crazy.
Quote from article:
"E-cigarettes, or vape pens, have been around for more than a decade but have boomed in popularity recently because of marketing to nicotine users looking for a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes."
So who the hell does CNN think they were marketed to before the recent grab by nicotine users?

They have to be kidding me.
There is no way on earth that at this point people who write these things don't know someone who vapes. All of this is so obviously bought and paid for. I'm so fricken' glad I'm set for life and nobody can stop me.

Yea god forbid some middle class child would get a whiff of cinnamon vapor. That would just be so dangerous. Omg, what if he gets a paper cut too! We need to ban paper to protect kids. Haha. Seriously these people need to get a life. Over it.
