Dr. Peter Lin did a feature this morning on the Ontario Morning show. The podcast isn't up yet but keep an eye out for it. It was very interesting.

Dr. Peter Lin certainly portrayed a fair overvue of what an ecig is.
However, he failed to mention that nicotine is not a carcinogen on it's own, surprising considering his occupation. Secondly, he touched on the concern that college kids are picking up the ecig habit, that it was the "cool" thing to do, but he failed to observe that those same college students are likely to pick up a cigarette if ecigs were not available. From my own experience, working as a bartender to pay my way threw university, I essentially started smoking at that age because it was "cool".
Again, fair assessment but not necessarily comprehensive.

Interesting SloHand - I agree with some of VIPOD's points, but overall it seems to be positive for us as well as educational for those who know very little about e-cigs.
It is difficult to be comprehensive in such a short time. All told, it was fairly balanced.
Agreed, but as a Dr. you would think that he would mention at least the nicotine part.....there was more than enough time. I'm tired of the excuses from the medical profession and govt officials. It appears Mass. is trying to place a 45% tax...this may be the roaring '20's of the ecig timeline, prohibition is on the way, and we better get ready for the underground.
