I'd rather describe Dr. Siegel with a big thumbs-up and kudos. He is one of few who in spite of being strongly against tobacco, is against the lies the Antis are using as propoganda, and is a strong proponent of e-cigs. He believes we have a right to try to save our own lives; that looking at facts and dealing with them realistically is the way to go. What a concept.

I was on their site but couldn't find anywhere to rubuke anything they said.

I guess just another weird prohibition group.

Maybe I should put up an anti-ASH website?

In order to post on ash.org you must become a member and pay $25 for the priviledge. Puts a whole new spin on a "charitable" organization doesn't it? It seems ASH only wants to "help" you if you pay.

Neither can you contact them directly. After they linked to and criticised their website, we tried to send them an email via the link on their site and this is what popped up on our email:

%61%73%68%77%65%62%6D%61%73%74%65%72%40%61%73%68%2E%6F%72%67

So we are publishing our reply to them on official wire instead.

That is a URL encoded e-mail address. Some sites do this to try to prevent spam harvesting bots from grabbing e-mail addys from web pages.

Decoded, it says:
ashwebmaster@ash.org

"Take the bill's handling of nicotine. The FDA would be allowed to mandate
lower nicotine levels in cigarettes but not to mandate that nicotine be
eliminated from cigarettes. This political compromise accomplishes little.
It has been well documented that when nicotine levels in cigarettes are
reduced, smokers inhale more deeply and smoke more cigarettes in order to
maintain their daily nicotine dosage. This is a phenomenon known as
compensation. The catch is that because of compensation, low-nicotine
cigarettes end up delivering a greater dose of tar. This leads to an
increase, not a decrease, in the risk of cancer and lung disease."

From Tobacco regulations are no regulations at all - Los Angeles Times written by Dr. Siegel.

I have noticed from smoking the no-nicotine liquids that I vape twice as much as I do when I am smoking a nicotine liquid. I guess as a smoker I reflect back and remember when I would run out of my P'Funks and have to suffer through a Marlboro Light, I would need two cigarettes to take up the time span of one P'Funk. Also inhaling twice as hard, making that cherry really burn. Nice to know that is called "compensation".
