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

[Firestorm]

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.

Ah - it is on the main page now!

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....

I just want to know how you managed to get the attention of CNN for this piece...

 

[DC2]

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.

Is there a thread about this summit? I want to subscribe to that!

Great article, and it is nice to see it in a main stream news source. Great job!

 

[Lessifer]

Great piece, I'm glad we have people like you on our side.

It took a lot of work, and some help. And over a month of edits. Can't really say more than that - but it's paid off.

No, but I'll start one if you wish. It's a bloody good programme this year, and I can't wait - last year had headlines bouncing around the world.

I'm hoping to do the same thing in the US too.

Very well done, in spite of CNN's previous bias against vaping.

I especially liked the penulitmate paragraph, reprinted (er, quoted ) with permission of the author (I hope! )

"It's about burdens. If you start from the precautionary principal -- treat something as bad until proved good -- you miss the context that e-cigarettes are designed to replace one of the most dangerous consumer products invented."

Hey-O SJ

Balanced, articulate.... like to see more of the same in prominent media outlets. Good on ya!!

Oh yeah, 'nuther side benefit of gettin' the thing published.... LOL, now we know whut ya look like! (-;

 

[papabogart]

Nicely Done SJ. It's unfortunate that the trolls so quickly highjacked what could have been an intelligent discourse in the comment section.

Great job on the article! Let's all jump in to the comments section debate now

 

[Oliver]

Pile in! Please - educate, educate, educate - but remember, links are moderated. E-cigarettes vs. Big Tobacco: Who will win? (Opinion) - CNN.com

 

[Lessifer]

But where are your 50 year longitudinal studies for this product that's been around for, at most, 10 years?!

 

[jensy]

Excellent article !!!!

 

[Avid]

Great read, great job!

 

[irwink]

Very nice concise well thought out and conveyed article!

 

[Big Me]

Why is there now an Editor's note at the beginning of the article? I'm sure it wasn't there earlier.

Are CNN trying to distance themselves from the opinion piece?

 

[Verb]

Thank you. Great work.
