I can't post the entire article as it is too long. Here is the link if you want to read it.

I love this part of the article -

Some antismoking advocates, who are simply annoyed to see the gadgets glowing in restaurants and bars, call for a ban on their use in public places, the same ban in force for tobacco products.

Rare these days to see honesty in journalism.

That's a pretty balanced article. I'm glad it mentioned BT and Big Pharm and pointed out their potential loss of profits and control.

LOL Penn. I loved that line too.

Only 0.5 % are using E cigarettes, but 20% of smokers have tried them. Doesn't seem like real good acceptance rate so far.

That is a pretty fair and balanced article. One thing I keep hearing and have a problem with is the apparent attack on flavors because it MIGHT attract children to start smoking. The youth of today are getting more and more hooked on pills than anything else. Do you think it's because of the pretty colors and stripes on them? Of course not.

Caffeine is bad for children. It stunts growth and causes numerous digestive and developmental issues in children. Yet, I don't see Starbucks being limited to only serving black tar flavored coffee. Why should consenting adults be deprived of all flavor and enjoyment?
