Your article was greatI also wanted to point out that there is another one by someone else here The New York Times Warns That Drinking E-Cigarette Fluid Could Become a Fatal Fad Among Toddlers - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Gutfeld on Fox's RedEye went against the 'story' with how many things in a house can be dangerous and how it's the parent's responsibility, etc. etc. Andy Levy brought up how he 'didn't know it could be absorbed through the skin' and how that may be a factor. Greg responded 'well, that's how patches work' lol... Pretty much discounted all the buzz on it. Greg said a '300% increase from 2012 to 2013 - that just means there were 2 in 2012 and 6 in 2013'
So the 'line of the week' last few weeks was 'gateway'. This week 'poison'. Anyone want to predict what will be next? There was one 'heart incident' - perhaps more of that.....??? Impotence? brain cancer? incontinence? Causes conspiracy theories?

Aww now come on, The "Nanny State" only wants what's good for you and I. While drinking liquor that our taxes paid for, and writing superficial legislation, they always have our best interests at heart! They want us to be healthy, (and broke) because every one of them has lobbyist that they feel should line their pockets at our expense. Unfortunately, The New York Times and anything to do with NBC, CBS, CNN, even the Washington Post all have their political agendas. It's up to the informed citizens to filter all the bull out.
That's the point. People see these types of articles floating around where people are taking the time out to take up for vapers and they say things like one person said, "Good story, but it's going to stay in Knoxville where it was written" But it doesn't have to! Is everyone reading this thread in Knoxville, TN? No! We are from all over the country and we all have our own circles. If we share this article and others like it with the people in our circles then our side of the story becomes just as important as the NY Times side. The only reason that hack job story that was written by Matt Richtel went viral is because the opponents of e-cigs shared it! Do the same with every news article you see where someone is sticking up for vaping and our stories will start to matter.
THANK YOU!
