Wow I wanna read this.

Good article. I have never used the njoy but glad they do recognize ecigs are better than smoking and can be used as a way to quit smoking.

Interesting article, at some point in the future e-cigs will make smokes obsolete(as long as our government doesn't block the progress).

The industry has evolved nicely without big tobacco. I fear that if they get involved they will welcome regulation in order to clear out the little guy.

Thanks for sharing this article. It made me think about cigarettes of the "future", always thought The Fifth Element got it right til I started paying attention to ecigs. I guess we are living in the future

One thing though, on a more serious note... it is disingenuous to say the only product innovations for analogs have been the filter and fliptop box. The use of additives (to "improve burning" and likely increase the possibility of addiction) midcentury to me is the most "innovative" step mfrs have made. Njoy's spokesman missed the mark there, but if they're looking for a buyout it seems smarter on their end to stay quiet about that.

I posted this, which is misleading, bet, hey, no coffee yet today.

----------
I've finally quit using e-cigs (a mix of nJoy and not-nJoy) but I'd like to comment that most "vapers" (e-smokers) use flavors like banana, cinnamon, watermelon, and these flavors allowed them to leave their tobacco taste behind. The average age of these users seems to be about 50, so I think it is fallacious to think that the taste for flavors is unique to young people. In fact, young people seem to be less interested in ecigs than older people, unless their spouse is after them to quit. It's those of us whose cough is getting very noticeable after 20-40 years of smoking.

It's a puff piece (no pun intended), but we could use more coverage like that, coverage that doesn't seek to be "balanced" by quoting ANTZ propaganda. Nice to see. Thanks for posting it.

Great Article...Nice commercial by Njoy as well.

Good article. I like the statement in it “Our mission at NJOY is to obsolete cigarettes,’” he says. “Do I believe that’s possible? Absolutely.”

 

[Renolizzie]

Great article and I made a brief comment.

This should be moved to Media...

I also read the comments below the article. Enlightening to me because they seemingly came from mainstream Time magazine regular folks. As for me, I haven't read a magazine like that in years. So I was reading comments from "the man on the street". Quite diverse I assume.

Check it out.
