American Chronicle | HOW TO QUIT SMOKING EVERY DAY

This "humorist" doesn't love e-smoking. Small snippet to insult us below:

I´ve just watched the promotional video of four postprandial, smoke-free smokers in a fine restaurant, all smoking their smokeless smokes, sucking on their electro-butts and blowing out imaginary smoke like jittery suspects in a mad hatter´s holding cell interrogation.

Ever see a kid "smoke" a candy cigarette? That´s how you´ll look as a grown-up.

I think his reaction to e-smoking is a testament to the terrible marketing some companies use.

There are too many e-cig sites that just look plain dodgy. Their marketing practices reek of spam and are sometimes quite dishonest. Anyone with a brain who encounters some of these websites should be instantly sceptical. I can't blame the guy for having the wrong idea about e-smoking. But that doesn't mean I don't think he's an arrogant fool for not doing his research and getting all high and mighty.

It amazes me how the anti-smoking lobby have been so successful that they don't even bother with logic, evidence nor reason.

One would have thought a journalist might have a care for one of these three things but having "worked them"; i.e., fed them a line, I've come to know better. Many a time I told myself "they'll not swallow this!" Years ago I'd have edited a press release to attempt a better balance but later I didn't much bother - write a press release in the style they need, they copy it, don't research but just put their own names to it.

I did my job, they were happy getting copy in early and the public were misinformed.

Glad I don't do that kind of work any more.

there is an old saying .....

if it looks like a duck .....
if it walks like a duck .....
if it quacks like a duck .....
... it must be .... a duck.

I really love the mods that the guys on here have made.
The battery life is so superior,
eliminates one of the hassles......
makes life so much easier,
and I don't need my fix device to look like a duck !!!!
