I have to say that I'm on the fence about this one. While it's always good to have an argument against "health" regulations that really aren't about health, I feel that the way they perceive and project the nanny argument is way too far into the party line BS. Maybe it's just my way of thinking, but I believe that much of the pure-political rhetoric brought up in the discussion could help to reduce support from the center or left. I mean really... The guy doing the lead-in on the discussion didn't even know that the "e" in e-cig stood for electronic.

To me, this discussion sounded like it was more about who was proposing the legislation, rather than the legislation itself.

The "left" is the very political persuasion that supports and initiates all or almost all bans and severe restrictions on vaping. And bans on vaping dove-tails exactly into the "nanny-state" thinking of the far left along with many other bans/proposals that basically state we are not capable of making our own decisions.

Fox was the first and only major news organization to air supportive commentary on vaping as far back as 2011.

Outstanding segment.

Fox once again steps up to dismantle the propaganda...
Now the FDA Is Trying to Kill Smokers | Fox News

Keep it coming!!

I doubt many of the center or left were watching.

But even if they were, hopefully they were led to reconsider their thoughts regarding electronic cigarettes.
Unless of course their minds are closed to anything that comes out of Fox News.

I'm just thinking that this was a really good thing for MOST of the people watching to have seen.

The "left/liberals" are not watching because their minds are closed. The "center" - many of us follow Fox. Fox is not perfect for sure and I don't agree with some of their guests who take a far right position. But in comparison to the alternatives, especially MSNBC, they are much more "centered".

It is an acronym for Anti Tobacco Zealots
dunno when the 'N' for nicotine part came from, it does not show up in any search
N for Nicotine is very important ...
Nicotine in cigarettes ... Nicotine in smoking Alternatives ...
Zealots want to erase even the memory of smoking and nicotine from the face of the planet

ANTZ .... NOT .... ATZ

And your source Petrodus ?

go on, find one
GAME ON !!

The acronym ANTZ was coined by our own Kristin (Vice President CASAA)
If she sees what you wrote ... she'll step in and explain
for the 1000th time why N for Nicotine is included in the acronym.

Here is one of a countless number of links I could post Click Here
