The Electronic Cigarette ? The Answer To Quit Smoking?
including video of Katherine Heigl at David Letterman's and The Doctors vapping on the TV.

This is an advertising.

It looks to me that way, but than again, it's American TV so I thought it's normal.

this may be advertising but it will get more people to try vaping looks like a win win to me...

This is an advertisement but I saw that Doctors segment on ecigs a long time ago which was not an advertisement. It was a positive and honest assessment of ecigs.

Postive, perhaps... honest? I don't think so. If you read the fine print in the terms and conditions for the "free" trial, you end up paying $100 for that "free" e-cig, which consists of one battery, an atomizer, a pack of carts, and a charger. Thereafter you'll be charged another $80 every 30 days for 24 carts.

In other words, it's a scam offer for an overpriced, overhyped, inferior product that would lead a new user to think that all e-cigs are a scam. Not the kind of publicity we need.

I assumed thats what this was but I wasn't sure so I didn't comment on it.

For those interested, there is a giant Sticky Thread on this. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-information/65772-do-not-order-free-trials.html

When I said 'honest' I was referring specifically to the Doctors TV show segment the ad refers to and not the ad itself.
