Haha yep it's the same thing you read over and over. E-cigs are bad! blah blah blah
I did notice the first picture there is pretty neat, with all the vapor in front of his face. And when they say a cartomizer will last 300 puffs I think they are seriously mistaken. Even a mega cartomizer will not last that long, but I suppose it depends how long you drag for. That is all I have to add

All in all, a good article.
One of the things that I personally have found frustrating is how people seem to equate "quitting smoking" with "quitting nicotine." As we all know, they're two very different things. This article seemed to make it clear that e-cigarettes are being used by many people as an alternative to smoking--a way for people to enjoy nicotine and the ritual of "smoking" without smoking.
Although the health care professionals still seem kind of clueless:
"Nicotine affects the human brain in the same way methamphetamine does, nord said. "
I would say its a step toward total abstinence from nicotine, nord said.
I have no more desire to give up nicotine than I do to give up caffeine . . . there's nothing quite as nice as enjoying a vape in the morning with a good cup of coffee.

He said the e-cigarette actually helped his son’s mother while she was in the hospital having the baby. She was able to smoke the e-cigarette in her room and avoid nicotine cravings.
WTF?!?! She did not quit smoking during the pregnancy?!

I quit while I was pregnant, but started again shortly after (once I was done nursing.) The article doesn't elaborate, but she could have been having a 9 month long nic fit.
LOL...
I think that line in the article is bad- it puts a bad spin on e-cigs: A mother-to-be vaping in the hospital just is not a good thing to anyone, especially to people that think e-cigs are bad.
I agree. It would have been nice to either elborate or leave it out. They don't say whether it was before, during or after the birth. When I was in the hospital in labor, the last thing I was thinking about was nicotine, so I doubt she was in the labor room vaping away!
But consider the alternative - smoking around the infant when she gets home.
