E-Cigs on the local Atlanta news

Not sure how to take this other than Berg had some of her facts wrong. Typical!

I would have gone on the show if I had known.

I-Team: E-Cigarettes

sounds about what you would expect from FOX news.

They need to make news shows about lung cancer. Actually open a dead smoker's lungs up and show what it looks like instead of bashing ecigs.

Indeed, "What about the children?" I would love to see media point to the 100's of millions of dollars spent by the e-cigarette industry to market products to children. The slant associated with e-cigarette reporting should not be an indictment of Fox specifically but of the media in general. Is there a direct correlation between state revenues, tax revenues, lobbying, advertising dollars, and local employment?

Do you really think the following is simply a coincidence?

Interviewing a middle-eastern kiosk attendant, concluding the interview with the Expert on a negative and inconclusive note. Providing a summation shot against a black screen as the reporter (I use the world loosely) goes onto to state, "State law hasn't caught up to them" bringing out the old trump card of, "Experts are afraid kids are going to use this opportunity to light up". And we all know about "those kids" which are already referring to e-cigarettes with secret nefarious colloquialisms like "vaping" along with the fact that even those 'Hollywood-types" are now promoting it.

Why would a local Georgia news station be so slanted on their "Special Investigation" reporting?

UGA Tobacco -- Some Economic Effects of Tobacco in Georgia

You tell me?

Perhaps a more honest lead-in from commercial should be this...
So Informative, So Dependable, So Full of , So Fox!

It's really a shame that the ecig industry doesn't have Fox news or any real news channel do a significant report on ecigs vs real cigs and show the real statistics, it would be staggering, if I had the money I would pay for it, just to ram it to the political jerks who lobby and pay for these kind of reports. Somebody should start a donation towards a news report so this industry could do just this kind of report and pay for it to prove the point once and for all. It's so obvious the Gov't, FDA, & Big tobacco are all joining forces in this battle to protect the tobacco industry, its so crooked it sickens me.

That's because there is no "real statistics" for Ecigs, none that are proof enough for them to actually show on news, only thing that is there is what people say they do and don't do to us. See we know what cigs do to us they have been around for a long time and been tested, but ecigs are still new and have not seen at least 50 years of use and what side effects that might come from them from that long of use. I am for Ecigs but I don't really feel that it can be fully supported by a news corp. in saying it is safer and what the statistics are that make it safer, due to the fact it is all hear say and not documented for proof, and also that there is so many different companies and countries that make/supply it and not all of them actually release the information needed to be known to the public and not every one of them produce the liquid in the same way.

Again I love my ecig, but you have to actually understand why news do these spin offs, its because right now the fact IS that ecig is still a unknown type of product that may or may not cause harm with prolonged use.
