I REALLY like that they interviewed mature, well spoken women who were long time smokers. I think this is the first news video I've seen that shows that demographic.
Those opposed to e-smoking reminds me of Washington politics.
Lie all you want ... Sooner or later the truth becomes public knowledge
and then those who lied ... come down with a sudden case of amnesia.
Bill Godshall is right when he said the FDA really doesn't know
what to do about e-cigarettes.

While I really like the first paragraph of this article, the first sentence is incorrect (as Wall St tobacco stock analysts first stated, then I was quoted in a news article and restated in my presentations at FDLI and TPSAC that cig sales declined 6.2% in 1Q13, while CDC doesn't even track cig sales).
And the second sentence is a bit misleading, as for two decades while I've pointed out that tax hikes, lawsuit settlements and workplace smoking bans are what sharply reduced cigarette consumption, the CDC, US SG, FDA (and of course CTFK, ACS, AHA, ALA, Legacy, etc.) continue to falsely claim that government run tobacco prevention and smoking cessation programs (that promote abstinence-only, falsely claim smokefree tobacco is as hazardous as cigarettes, give away free NRT, and claim FDA approved drugs are the only "safe and effective" way to quit) are the key reason cigarette consumption has declined.

It is nice to see a nice positive news piece. I know that here in the Oklahoma City area I can't seem to go anywhere without seeing someone vaping. I even went to get my Driver's License updated the other day and the nice lady working the counter at the tag agency had one around her neck.
Proof positive that e-smoking is now "mainstreamed"
Those in the FDA must be pulling their hair out trying to come up
with what to say to their Big Pharma employers as to why they
don't think they can kill a world wide movement which is saving
millions of lives.
There is a nurse near Sherman TX in Denison at 321 N Austin (Exxon) who has very cheap ecig kits with variable batteries and vision vivi nova and protanks. She has shipped product to me and tells me she has the cheapest prices in town, even cheaper than wicked. The community is really banning together to help each other. She also has an ex-smoker who makes house calls in Sherman tx. Her name is Helen. You can pick up supplies from her at 709 E jones st. Sherman Tx. She said she does it just to help people quit smoking. Many of the doctors are starting to get on board in Texoma she tells me which is very exciting

Not quite Bill. The majority of people who quit smoking did so for health reasons in the 80's and 90's. Tax hikes had little to do with it, that is unless your goal is to punish smokers, which you appear to be all to willing to do. Of course the lawsuits simply pushed the price up further for dedicated smokers as the cost was passed on to consumers. Both you are the alphabet groups are a bit out in left field as to why people quit.

If that were truly the case then states like Virginia and North Carolina (where cigarettes are still relatively cheap @ 4.50 a pack) shouldnt be lagging behind the rest of the country when it comes to giving up cigarettes.
I seriously doubt that New Yorkers (11 bucks a pack) or people from Connecticut (10 bucks a pack) are better educated or more informed no matter what some northerners would like to believe.
