Fox News: E-cigarettes in the News (Video)

[Petrodus]

Sometimes "big" presents come in "small" packages

Before discounting this amusing video or dissecting it and laughing...
Consider that 98% of the public do NOT research
Consider many really don't know much about E-cigarettes
Consider the countless TV commercials we watch everyday

This is Pro E-cig “commercial” by FOX News
It's not a scientific style news release!
It's a commercial (with humor) for E-cigs
The message is E-cigarettes are Safe as well as Fun to use.

Note: The Absence of any mention of health concerns including antifreeze!

Not all news is negative requiring an Alert and Call to Action



This News report would not have even been considered a few years ago.

Wow, when did this air? It seems really old, since he says there was no way to get them in New York yet and they won't be available for 2 months? And since when did Gamucci "create" e-cigs?? LOL!

Interesting. Apart from the fact that it's Fox News and they don't seem too sure about what they're talking about... not horrible. They threw the word atomizer out there, and they aren't saying anything about smoking antifreeze. It had to have sparked at least a little interest.

"For people who want their nicotine, but don't want to die." hahahaha One of the suppliers should pick that up as their slogan.

That was quite humorous - wow. But at least there was no negatives!

I have no idea when it first aired...Found the video today on YouTube and a note it was uploaded in November.

I think it's from early 2009 or in 2008. I can't find it in the Fox News archives and a December 2009 video talking about the "dangers" of e-cigarettes mentioned how they had talked about e-cigarettes "when they first came out." So, unfortunately, it's pretty old and most Fox reports are now the typical "FDA says these are dangerous" type.
