Good interview but after inspecting the site it falls to the same kind of false marketing that many larger corporations do. They have claims to 1/3 the nicotine of a regular cigarette which is kind of hard to claim when you don't specify what you consider a regular cigarette and you don't list nicotine levels in your products. Also saying that its perfectly safe is opening the door for someone to find just one little thing that may not be "perfectly healthy" and then have the FDA and others after the entire industry again. Claiming that 1 pack of cartomizers is equal to 30 packs of cigarettes is kind of ridiculous as well.

Still like to see anything positive about vaping on mainstream TV, thanks for linking this.

Good video. Seems like the guy was advertising more than anything with all of his products on the desk. It's nice to see a doctor approving of them on national tv though!

yes a very positive segment from multiple angles. the advertising plug was subdued. the doctor asked the key questions and accepted the reasonable answers. hope to see more of this 'balance' in the future.

Sorry to disagree. I thought from the vaping angle it was weak and misinformed. The CEO didn't even know his product well enough to produce a realistic cloud of vapor! I would have thought that if you had a chance to showcase yourself and your products you would be better prepared. But it's just my opinion on the commentary.

Unfortunately when they decide to bring in the head of a company the sells vaping products, it's always one of the highly marketed but worse performing models in the market place.

What do you think would go over better with the anti-smokers? Seeing a huge plume of 'smoke'/vapor or a weak/small wisp?
The problem isn't 'selling' it to smokers as much as selling the idea/concept to non-smokers and anti-smokers.
