Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller has really been stepping up to the plate for us, especially as of late.

Academics Devise Surveillance System To Identify E-Cigarette Supporters

The study’s abstract doesn’t specify why it would be necessary for the public health lobby or federal officials to monitor the tweets of people who are enthusiastic about e-cigarettes.
The authors claim their model identifies e-cigarette proponents with 96 percent accuracy. According to the study, these e-cig advocates tweet two to five times more than regular and are two orders of magnitude more likely to highlight different e-cigarette flavors, the fact they are far less harmful than tobacco cigarettes, and their ability to help smokers quit.
