Seems that I've heard heart doctors would prefer that people would use E-cigs over analogs.
Thanks for that - it was a fair article. Interesting to read and nice to see something balanced.
Yes - and that's pretty good free advertising too - puts the benefits of vaping in front of quite a few people.
We should all write articles and send the stories to our local papers. We need to be our own advocates instead of relying on journalist, hoping they give vaping a balanced perspective.
That's an interesting idea - a sort of grassroots journalism thing happening.
Doesn't seem like a "fair" article at all to me. It reads as if it was intended to project a purposeful negative slant to vaping, communicating an imagined "second hand risk" intended to support legislation to ban vaping from all public places despite a lack of any substantive evidence of risk. It's subtle, but it's there. Emotional drivel in my opinion.
We are the ones vaping, right? Why have someone else who doesn't vape speak for us? I think we should tell our own story too!
I'm picturing it - I am thinking of those articles where people describe an activity or hobby they have - as a sort of inside view of it.
Why not right? I think im going to do it this week... I cant sit idle on a good idea.
I would classify that article as neutral, not necessarily 'fair'. 'Fair' would have included more e-cig vs. 'bakky info, minus the unsubstantiated 'social risk' comment.
At least there was no bashing!
Just my 15 milligrams...

I think that's a good way of putting it - neutral. And yes - no bashing was good.
People have made fortunes that way. Selling generic stuff like cell phone subscriptions. Write an article. Send to all paper/digital media. If nothing happens, re-write and send again. Repeat till rich... or vaping kills smoking in our case. It's not about the product, it's about creating media attention for "free".
I feel like writing them and saying...
'Scientists found that all samples contained large amounts of Dihydrogen monoxide, a component of antifreeze.'

That Dihydrogen Monoxide has been known to be fatal when inhaled, this cant really be a good thing :/
(BTW, yes, I know)
Did you see the ignorant comments from the "Jane" person who responded? Just sad.
