10 things e-cigarettes won

I was going to post this in the thread about electronic cigarette lies, but it deserves its own thread (if mods permit).

I haven't read it yet, but this prefatory note sure rings a bell with me...

This post is going to sound angry. That’s because it is angry. I hope you understand, dear reader, that I’m not angry at you; I’m angry for you. I hope that I’m angry in common cause with you. Vaping saves health and wealth, and it just might save lives, even families. And it’s being lied about. It’s being misrepresented by those who not only claim to know better but whose responsibility it is to know better. That makes me angry. And being nice when things like this come along isn’t putting a dent in the flow of misinformation, disinformation, rumor-mongering and manipulation on the part of self-appointed “authorities” who claim to represent consumers out of one side of their collective mouth while lying to us out the other side.

Actually, this is the part that got my George-Carlin-o-Meter clanging:

Note: I’m going to end up ....ing swearing a lot and abusing the bold and italics.

Aww.... The system is geared to cut out "bad words" like "f u c k"...

I gotta read up on my Lenny Bruce...

Yeah, he said a few things exactly how I would say them in real life.

I'm a lot more straightforward in real life than I am allowed to be on this forum.
And that's probably for the best.

Great read, very entertaining and well thought. Now if only his views were that of the general consensus... Hmm. Everybody needs to tweet this article.

Thanks John Castle, it's hard to fix stupid!

Great article John. I'm not sure the last statement really helps our cause, but very insightful and well written.

This is all very true and very unfortunate. It provides a great example of people who don't know what they are talking about, telling the rst of us what to do, believe, act like, think, behave, oh don't get me started! I vape in my office, at work, in a courthouse and my boss and co-workers are thrilled that I quit smoking cigarettes! It offends no one. Will people please, please, please stop trying to tell me how to live my life...I am sooooo sick of it!! There, now I feel better...

Feeling "better" I guess is the whole point. I mean - we have been polite enough long enough. These careful, measured disclosures and repetitions of fact have only so much impact... and then maybe it's time to start using dirty words and all-caps, or... or something.

....! [ahahah I realized after posting my four-letter word was censored by the system... sigh; anyhow, for editorial and artistic purpose, that last thing was supposed to be F u c k !]

Awesome read.... I really enjoyed that and agreed with all of it.
