ECF Founder (me) opinion piece on CNN.com today!

[Oliver]

Hi all,

Quick heads up that CNN published an opinion piece by me today.

You can read it here, and please let me know what you think....

Way to go! It was a nice read, let's just hope it turns a few heads.

Not abrasive (i.e., accusatory, etc), mostly just some observations that seem quite truthful, and some good food for thought.

Cheers, mate!

Woo-hoo !

Good going SJ !

Nice, nice, nice, fantastic. That's a keeper and one to reference to. Thank you! It really is a breath of fresh air when they allow the (knowledgeable) voice of reason to have a say.

Thanks people.

Just between us, it was quite a rigmarole getting it published and there's much not in there I wanted to add.

But overall, I'm reasonably happy.

Awesome Smokey!!

Excellent piece. I visit cnn.com several times a day and this article is not on the loading page. I do hope that people read it and it helps to make a difference.

I'm aware of how they do those things and considering the limitations they put on you, you did a very nice job of getting the points across that might sway the average Joe (lol) that's willing to listen. Plus CNN didn't butcher it. So, party's at your place tonight?

Nice article. Very well written.

Nope, no party tonight.

The party's after this: http://www.e-cigarette-summit.com on November 14th.

Great article. Nicely done!

A very difficult concept to explain in a short format but you seemed to have gotten the general idea out there. Sadly haters are gonna hate and refuse to acknowledge even the most stringent controlled studies done, I know this from personal experience.

Didn't know about that. Interesting lineup of speakers. I hope you give us a write up of your impressions on the outcome. Thank you for pointing it out.

Loved the article, Smokey! You said a lot in a small amount of space, it was very well written and flowed nicely. Thank you for writing, and I hope to see more positive pieces soon

Nice job! You made a good case for reasonable regulation while explaining BT's game in a straightforward way.

Thanks - obviously I wanted to say more but... well you know how it goes.

Having fun BTL right now...

Excellent!

I certainly will!

It's the other thing I "founded" and you can see the transcripts from the first one on vaping.com here: http://vaping.com/science

I'm hoping to get video for this one - but not sure if it's going to be possible.

I think I knew that. Nothing like saying it in front of the whole forum, but I had a surgery that fixed the problem nicely but gave me over 100 mini strokes. Makes life interesting, rearranges your brain along with some spot cleaning of your memory. I'll read, reread?, everything on that link. Thank you so much for all you do. Party at your place after the conference, zoiDman still has that hug and kiss for you so wear your running shoes.
