Saw this segment on a local news show this morning (video at the URL link below):
The video shows eGo-type battery ecigs (singling out something called the 'G Pen'), which most of us use, myself included (except those of you who are all hard core, of course
). They also show the popular Evod and CE4 clearomizers.
I felt outraged and defeated after watching this: Now, those who don't know anything about ecigs are going to automatically assume that what I'm using is 'that )OTHER) vaporizer' that they saw on TV and not a plain old ecigarette.
The 2 men that they interviewed on the street clearly have NO CLUE what the hell they are talking about (dude, you don't put tobacco in these!), which will only further enforce the ignorance and misinformation leading to government legislation to ban/regulate ecigarettes in the future.
Not once do they mention that these devices are conventionally used legally (for now) as healthier, less offensive alternative to smoking tobacco, only that they are being sold as delivery devices for people using medical [that stuff that you can't reference here] and that teens are using them to 'smoke' (OTHER STUFF) without the smoke/smell. What I want to know is how are police going to know what liquid you have in your ecig??? Am I going to be asked to dump all of my juice? Are they going to confiscate, arrest, and then ask questions later?
