Wow! What an amazing find! John Stossel hits the nail on the head and for the most part the other panelists see the logic. I don't watch much TV, so don't know their names, but I loved the fact that two of the others tried the e-cig and didn't get weird about it. The first lady's initial reaction was an odd look, but then she went back for more! This is a great positive mainstream piece for a change. Thanks for sharing.

This is great!

Gotta love John Stossel - he always asks the right questions.

Thanks for sharing. John Stossel is a libertarian, as am I. He is a good voice for how ridiculous many of the laws passed are that stomp on individual rights.

Katherine Heigl & Letterman on the Late Show broke the ice
and this absolutely outstanding broadcast (to me) is a home run
and signals that we are in the "home stretch" of public acceptance
(not necessarily approval) of E-cigarettes.

Both the Heigle/Letterman and this video have (what I say) is all the
key ingredients. Well known people vaping and talking very positive
about E-cigs as well as having fun while vaping.

Sends the message load-and-clear to the public that E-cigarettes
are not only safe but an enjoyable satisfying alternative to smoking.

Great E-cig commercial
Couldn't have written a better script... Keep it light...no big deal...Safe...Fun

Fantastic!

 

[Brewlady]

Love this! Nice to see someone on our side.

Thanks, kristin. I remember last year posting that someone should contact Stossel on our behalf because I felt certain (being the common sense kind of a guy he is) that he would be supportive of our switch to a harm reduction alternative. I hope someone like CASSA was able to give him accurate information.

 

[StormFinch]

Thanks Kristen, and Vocalek for the info. I've already got the channel tuned in.

Fantastic!

Seems to me Stossel lost his full time job ( was reduced to part/part time) at 20/20 years ago for standing against the FDA second hand smoke issue. He brought up very legitimate issues with that and it hurt him for standing up for what he thought was right then. You just gotta love this guy!

 

[StormFinch]

Well I hope no one had to sneeze because you would have missed it. I think the promo piece was longer.

 

[Ardeagold]

I think it was good. He's in the process of covering the FDA overstepping it's boundaries banning/controlling everything, whether it makes sense or not. There are a lot of products in the same boat as e-cigs.

 

[MoonRose]

Overall, a very good show and he once again mentioned the FDA's attempt to ban e-cigs at the end of the show.

 

[humpty]

nice find !

 

[wv2win]

Well, after watching the show, I wish they could have gotten someone better than the smokestyx's guy to represent our alternative. IMO he really didn't explain it very well or point out the obvious advantages such as the main ingrediants being approved by the FDA for consumption or stressing that it is water vapor that dissipates almost immediately. And when Stossil mentioned nic gum, patches, etc, that would have been the obvious time to point out they are deemed safe by the FDA and that PV's are just a different alternative for delivering nicotine or no nicotine.

 

[kristin]

I turned to my husband and said, "Why couldn't he have interviewed someone from CASAA or Dr. Siegel??" Oh, well. At least the point was made about how stupid it is to ban e-cigarettes.

It had to be pretty intimidating and high pressure. Good for him for getting on the show and not saying anything stupid!

 

[maureengill]

Even more...out of that group there is one person who smokes...we all could tell when he used the pv which one it was....

I liked that part, too. A nice deep inhale and a satisfied look on his face afterward.

Totally groovy!! Love it and thanks for posting this!
