Not great but I've seen worse for sure. I've been noticing there's less blatant attacks on them and more "well it might be better but it might not" kind of reports like this more recently in more of the mainstream news.
Watched it ... Very vague, just a story stating what it is, what e-cig users opinions are and what non-smokers opinions are. To me it was just a clip on the fact that e-cigs exist.
Easy to leave a comment, here's mine:
Ingredients in a cigarette? About 4000, including many known carcinogens. Ingredients in an electronic cigarette? About 4: Propylene Glycol, vegetable glycerine, liquid nicotine (if desired by the user) and flavoring. I went from 30 cigarettes a day down to 2 and have stayed at this level for almost 3 years. My government doesn't want me to use this life saving product because it cuts into their bottom line. The FDA gets a majority of its funding from pharmaceutical companies and cigarette taxes fill the governments coffers. Don't listen to the propaganda people! Your government and its agencies don't have your best interest at heart. This product isn't hurting me and it won't hurt anyone standing next to me. Studies have been done that prove this, you just aren't getting the whole story unless you research it yourself. Go to www.e-cigarette-forum and educate yourself!

I just did a google search for:
e-cigarette studies
e-cigarette bad for you
e-cigarette health risks
e-cigarette organizations
Then, I started clicking on some of the related search terms google provides. Nowhere did I see the CASAA website listed.
Assuming the average reporter is hardly "investigative" anymore, I could see how they would not delve deeply enough so as to find an organization to provide an opposing viewpoint.
On the other hand, if they had even the most remote desire to gather info they would have visited CASAA and interviewed someone from the organization, even if only so as to provide an opposing viewpoint. While it may not be exceptionally easy for an outsider to find the CASAA website, I am certain they have tracked down far more elusive people/organizations in the past.

You know what they say "any publicity is good publicity". Maybe not so many questions when vaping in public.
Well I firmly believe that news research anymore is being told what to say and what to read, I haven't see any original research in the media in quite a few years.
Watch the evening news for an hour and count the number of health commercials, particularly drug ads. The industry provides massive funding to the media industry.
Side effects may include dry mouth, palpitations, headache, seizures and death.
