"First marketed worldwide in 2002 as an alternative to regular cigarettes, e-cigarettes didn't become easily available in the U.S. until late 2006. Now, the industry has grown from the thousands in 2006 to several million worldwide, with estimated 20,000 to 30,000 new e-smokers every week, according to Jason Healy, the president of e-cigarette maker Blu Cigs."

Music to my ears.

I guess it's up to us vapers to pull the country out of the economic ditch. Can't count on the billionaires. Looks like they'll be relatively tax free for the next couple years. Bully for them! Eh - whot.

This is good news even for someone not residing in the US. The health organization here always echo what the FDA says. Now there is a turn of event, I wonder what the health authorities would say.
