Good job, Steve!

Tennessee seller of 'e-cigarettes' fights FDA regulation | tennessean.com | The Tennessean

Somebody didn't read the press release that she referred to:

Critics warn of possible health risks with some of the products. A lab test of random e-cigarette samples by the FDA in July found trace amounts of the same ingredients found in antifreeze, the federal agency said. It didn't name the brands in a news release describing the testing.

And the wording here makes it sound as if three states have banned the products, which is not true:

Several states — New York, New Jersey and Oregon among them — have moved to ban the products. In Tennessee, the state attorney general is "monitoring" the situation, a spokeswoman said.

Mis & dis information is so rampant in the media, re: the FDA's statement & testing, that an uninformed person, reporter or reader would find more truth just by reading the comments of an article rather than the article itself.

You all are right, of course...critics blah, blah, blah...FDA blah, blah....did you watch Steve's video? It's great!

Well on the one hand this article seems a little fairer then other articles I have seen. On the other hand it still gives out bad information. I really wish these folks would do a little more digging, before they put their articles in print.

"A lab test of random e-cigarette samples by the FDA in July"

Yeah, random. First filtered down into "brands that are suing us in court", then filtered into "stuff we can show at miniscule levels (ppb) without revealing the quantities so they look toxic instead of non-toxic", and finally filtered into "only the liquid form that never reaches the user and not the actual inhaled vapor."

Completely random!

I've seen worse articles than that, but better ones too.

The first sentence was a bit strong I thought - 'the FDA wants to regulate them to safeguard consumers' health'

Really? I guess that explains why they're totally uninterested in hearing from people who've quit smoking through e-cigs.
