This is what we really need to be seeing, and where we need to be seeing it.
As sad as it sounds, the entertainment industry might well be the best place to spread the word.

I see it as 95% positive and that is great.
I particularly liked, or found fascinating, the last paragraph quoting the eCig vendor cited throughout the article. With the way the regulation is going, it makes sense for these same vendors to transition to "other stuff" vending (popular in CO) and make a go in that industry. And then noting the irony in how that substance was once seen as 'most evil thing around' to how (non)nicotine industry is currently near the top of 'most evil thing around.'
Also like that this vendor has a "FDA clause" in his contracts. That strikes me as sensible. No way I'd rent space for a vaping business unless landlord allowed for that clause. Sorry, I'll take my booming business elsewhere.

Was just about to post this article. It is very well written indeed. Thanks for sharing!

I just want to see Glantz eat his shoe in five years. Maybe he can add some sugar to help it taste better.
meh... the phony rape story should matter... but their circulation remains stable for now.....
" Glantz disagrees entirely with the British review's assessment on e-cigs, though he believes they are more dangerous than the report concluded. "I'll eat my shoe if that 95 percent figure turns out to be correct five years from now," he says. "But, yes, there is no doubt that electronic cigarettes are better than cigarettes." "
The "I'll eat my shoe..." isn't such a convincing analogy, since it seems that there isn't much that he wouldn't eat.

Oh snap!The "I'll eat my shoe..." isn't such a convincing analogy, since it seems that there isn't much that he wouldn't eat.
I had no idea you even HAD a sense of humor Kent.
But that a top notch zinger right there!

You don't know me that well then.... see my posts on funy pics.....
Much of my postings here, while serious are usually tweaking someone. I get more laughs from their replies. Interesting to know that perception though. Many got that from House MD too - serious/mean - I thought it was better and more humorous than any of the award winning sit-coms. At least the humor had some context - whereas sit-com humor is just Jon Stewart-type writers writing what would be 'stand-up' jokes, then writing some scene to deliver them, and usually not very "situational". Not that funny to me.I was quite angry when House went off the air.
Me too, although it was one of the better series finales. As was Breaking Bad - vs. say 'Dexter' which was terrible. I still watch House reruns and on Christmas day at 2pm, Cloo is running the whole series in sequence for 7 days, in case anyone's interested. The 'context' in earlier episodes is needed for some of the humor later. And I love the absence of political correctness with House. Just recently aired, he sent Cameron out to a patient's house to 'check for drugs'
Cameron: I'll go look for her stash.
House: Take Foreman. (Foreman frowns) There's gotta be a reason for the stereotype. :- )
I think he should eat a shoe full of "Total bull...."
Regardless these are the words of a professor of tobacco control!!!
So I guess "Total bull...." is a scientific term now, whodathunk.
