Chief of Staff UCLA Santa Monica - on electronic cigarettes

That's a fantastic vid, thank you very much for posting it. I truly wish that it were on a more reputable site so that I could easily reference it at work in case I am questioned, but it was great to be able to watch it nonetheless.

Very Cool. thanks

paid adverts are less credible, even if they are, 'interview-style'.

do your own research, trust nothing you can't verify

Normally, I would agree with you. But this one is different. The CoS of UCLA? WOW! Doctors with positions like this do NOT throw around endorsements lightly. Plus, I noticed it didn't say "Former" CoS.

To me, that adds quite a lot of weight to the subject.

Well... sort of. I mean, we have highly decorated doctors are also raving opponents of e-cigs, not to mention the "more doctors smoke Camel than any other brand" kind of thing....

 

[Krickster]

In the video, the Dr's statements are mostly either common sense or common knowledge. If you had some schmuck on YouTube saying the same thing, no one would pay attention and they can be easily discredited, even though they are stating fact. But, you put a Dr of this caliber in a vid saying the same thing, people take notice. It also makes it harder to discredit the Dr because he thinks the "Earth is round".

I found that to be a excellent video Krickster

 

[deewal]

That Doctor said almost exactly what my own Doctor said when we were discussing my E-Cig.
Don't knock it. It's on our side.

great vid! is there someway to download it? I wanna put it on my ipod touch to show people when they argue with me about PV''s.

added to Digg and my facebook wall

If you are using Firefox, you can use the Download Helper Plugin.

Otherwise, maybe someone here can grab and send to you. I think its FLV.

Its good to see noted professional Doctors explaining the truth about the ecig. I am tired of the scare tactics of those with a anti smoking financial interest. It takes courage for these Doctors to speak out and I commend them.

Thanks for putting that link out there for us Krickster --

I concur with TTRP on the comment regarding paid adverts.

But I also consider your own response as valid and quite noteworthy.

On balance... I must say that even after taking into consideration the obvious special interests involved in the making of this 'interview-style' marketing effort.... I nevertheless find the video to be a positive and beneficial element in the promotion of a sound public understanding regarding vaporizers in general.

I also must tip my hat to the Doctor (despite whatever his own personal motivations might be..)..... for his willingness to put himself at some measure of professional risk with this as (effectively) a public endorsement.

cheers,

More reputable site? 8-o I run Pit-Tube.

Yep, I thought I saw your name floating around that vid here and there.

Well, Justin Credible, you CAN also find the video here, along with a lot of other good resource links:

Alternative to Smoking?

 

[Dooner]

Great great great

 

[Krickster]

Put this video together with http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-news/56406-e-cig-prevention-parkinsons.html and you get one hell of a healthier alternative in my book!

I would have rathered that the good doctor was endorsing ecigs as a whole, rather than a specific brand. (I didn't actually count how many times he said 'Smoke Stick", but it was a LOT) One wonders what stake he has in the endorsement. I'm all for any type of legitimization of ecigs, but the mercenary aspect makes the endorsement suspect.
