i guess ALL health departments are as narrow minded.

truly it's the same old song and dance, with more of the same from so-called health officials.
lies and half-truths derived from ignorance. following the anti-party line without fail.

I'm getting really sick of all these people saying "We don't know what people are inhaling with these e-cigarettes".

Any well-equipped lab pretty much anywhere can grab a 510 kit and blow a few puffs through their gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. With only like, 4 or 5 different ingredients, any first-year chemistry undergrad could read the printout. Really not that hard, people. I just don't get it.

Pretty simple to understand. BP issued the marching orders to their marketing arm, the ?non-profit?'health" organizations. They in turn went to the FDA, raised a stink and got them involved. That started the embargo but after being sued and losing in Fed court, Appeals court and their attempt to get a review by the entire Appeals court, they gave up.

That forced the ?non-profit?"health" associations into a new game plan. Attack from the local and state levels via the unelected health departments. Thus you see what you're seeing in Boston.

I agree. They are just taking any route they can to try and destroy this market for whatever reason. I am pretty sick of seeing the "marketing to teens" and crap. There are so many restrictions to the marketing that can be done that the only way this "markets to teens" is because teens want it just like they want cigarettes. I guarantee you a teenager trying cigarettes for the first time more than likely did not get them from a store. He tried one off a friend or stole one from his parents or something. When they get this interest in smoking its not because they have been "advertised" to. Its because they have poor friends and/or parents. How about they attack the food industry for marketing to fat kids. I dont see them stopping sugar loaded cereal commercials or anything.
