Of course he had to bring up the exploding battery (user tampering) and the deicing issue. What can you expect for 2 minutes

Follow the $$$ trail:

"Analysts think the market for e-cigarettes will surpass $10 billion in the U.S. by 2017 and that e-cigarettes will outsell regular cigarettes within a decade, said David Sweanor, a law professor at the University of Ottawa who works on tobacco and health issues."

Governments are circling their wagons, be prepared.

I'm a little nervous about the increased scrutiny on vapers and e-liquid. If the industry is taken over by BT and BP, and current vendors are legislated out of business, that could be devastating.

I was surprised that they mentioned flea markets in the piece. I hope no one sets out to target the vendors.

I liked the part about their heads in the sand

What bothers me the most about the critics of ecigs is the fact that they go back to studies used in 2007/2008 when the market was so new. So many changes have been made since then. All the recent studies show such a reduced risk of harm. "The public doesn't know what's in their electronic cigarette." I know more about what's in my eliquid than the poultry I buy at the local grocery store. I know most of us know this, but that's my soapbox rant of the day.

Good point Shannannagans.

I love it when they bring up the exploding battery! Cell phone batteries have exploded, so have laptop batteries, and the batteries on the Dreamliner.

All good reasons to ban cellphones, laptops, and airplanes!
