They are petitioning to ban online sells....

Where do they get these pictures?!! There was one recently of a woman hunched over a cloud of vapor; looked like she was lizard-crawling across a foggy disco dance floor... sheesh

This part of the article was good!

An analysis released in August by Drexel University researcher Igor Burstyn said the chemical composition of various e-cigarette liquids pose a negligible risk to second-hand smokers. Further, Burstyn wrote, "[t]here are no known toxicological synergies among compounds in the aerosol, and mixture of the contaminants does not pose a risk to health."

If you were really anti-ecig, regardless of what you wrote ...
Wouldn't you choose a picture that demonized or
makes esmoking appear to be ridiculous ??!!

Good point. A picture is worth a thousand words and all that. So in effect we can get a pretty good idea of the intent/message of an article simply by looking at the picture heading it. Maybe somewhere there's a gallery of vaper photos for journalists to choose from, ranging from "Totally healthy well-dressed upscale elegant vaper" to "Unkempt cross-eyed obviously brain-dead vaper"...

 

[Petrodus]

There are TONS of images on the Net to choose from.
When an IDIOTIC negative image is chosen for an article ...
It SCREAMS the "true" view of the author about esmoking (period)

It's possible the anti-ecig "publishers" finds crappy pictures
and includes them at the top of the articles ... without the author's permission
or knowledge.

Regardless ... these idiotic images ... Tick Me Off !!

Should we tout how glamorous and attractive the photo is hehe. Poor girl looks so exhausted from fighting the ANTZ, desperate to keep her human being rights for a safer alternative, disgusted and saddened that another smoker patient at the hospital has died while the politicians fight to deny vapers rights to quit smoking, and clearly proves how white and clean the vapor clouds are.

I bet they stole it off Facebook, in a show is your vape face thread.

I agree!
Why oh why does he have to be the wolf in sheeps clothing. He KNOWS they are safer, a breakthrough in the history of smoking, yet he is petitioning to ban the very thing he agrees is remarkable.
If this is the future of the fights, I think we better purchase a truckload of guardian sheep dogs.

Off to buy a KOMONDOR...

I suspect the top officials at the ALA's national office are having emergency meetings to figure out how to deal with this announcement.

Although I'm pleased Connor is endorsing e-cigarettes, FIN/ECIG is urging the FDA to eliminate all online competitors (which make better products) to increase its own sales and profits.

Bookmarked this article.

I will tweet this article and several of it's passages to all who are trying to ban, over regulate, or who are simply stupid about our personal vapor devices.
