At the end of the day the potential public health gains from e-cigarettes will be determined by the decisions about how to regulate these devices. There is right thinking about tobacco harm reduction, but a risk of making significant mistakes in the way this is played out in regulatory frameworks.

The danger is a classic regulatory trap: making safer products harder to obtain than their unsafe counterparts. The regulatory proposals are tougher on e-cigarettes than on tobacco cigarettes. The framing of electronic cigarettes within a regulatory context misses the point that the public health drive must be to promote, endorse and facilitate their use.

Excellent "Harm Reduction" article !!!!

This OUTSTANDING article was put on-line on Aug 5
and there's only a few comments ... HINT

I would network this article and would "bookmark" it
for reference when dealing with those opposed to e-smoking.

Great article, thanks.

Me again ...


What I've always found a little odd is we find anti-ecig articles
they get a lot of attention and comments. We often post
what we need is Pro-ecig articles ... However, they are far
and few between ... and when they do come along ...
We give a few "thumbs up" posts and then yawn.

Guess it's only human nature ... Drama is more interesting
than what we say we want to see.

I agree. A fairly well balanced article.

Very well written article. The first one I've read that actually shows the vapers side of things.

I agree, this one deserves top ratings and attention. Let's link it everywhere we can.

This is an excellent essay on e-cigarettes, linked to facebook and tried to leave a comment but it got caught in some kind of a spam filter and I'm now waiting to be put on their white list. Oh well I tried.

I agree ...
By the way ... The only thing those opposed to e-smoking hate more than the truth
is those who spread the truth. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who likes to
"stir up the pot" ... We should network this article and ask everyone we
network with to please network it within their network.

A picture can paint a thousand words-is one of my favourite sayings when it comes to getting a message across.

Here is Prof Gerry Stimson.

And dont forget to add those 'silent' but powerfull links to your favourite Vaping forums in the comments boxes of articles-good and bad

Anyone make you-tube vids ?
Another way to get the message rolling faster and faster would be to make a short video of you (you dont have to put your purty face on it) opening up articles like the OP in your browser, with a text description of it and a link to its URL, oh and of course a catchy main title

Ahem
"Electronic cigarettes-you must see this before trying them"
Or something equaly dramatic
