Huffington Post Misinformation

[Ohio Points]

The health effects of e-cigarettes are still unknown. Medical associations and regulatory bodies are concerned that e-cigarettes are nothing more than a "gateway" to a nicotine addiction.

I would like to encourage all to go on over there and make a post describing what e-gics/vaping has done for you.

Free accounts are pretty easy to set up and usually are immediate.

Another really really stupid ecig-bashing article from Huffington Post. At least one person over there really has a bug up his/her .... about ecigs! I submitted a comment, pretty sure they won't post it, tho:

13. If HuffPo stopped posting these ridiculous articles based on misleading statistics and junk science, 95% of readers might start to believe HuffPo was engaging in real journalism.

14. Electronic cigarettes have the potential to save the lives of 400,000 Americans each year. By discouraging their use, the Huffington Post has the potential to contribute to 400,000 deaths yearly. How's that for a statistic?!

I use both the Huffington and Fox for my morning humor with coffee, like to start the day with a good laugh. But it is sad to see the level of uneducated opinion that gets spewed from the "educated" media, again from both sides.

Always say the only thing as bad as an extreme right wing nut is an extreme left wing nut, but in this case have to agree that someone at the Huff has an agenda, not the first ecig-evil article I have seen over there. Oddly enough I seem to recall a positive one from Fox but can not be sure.

Guess the only thing we can be sure of is that the talking heads will continue spew their preprogramed views given to them from that "someone" backstage.

As long as Big Corps are doing it, Huff Po is going to bash it.

15. At the time of this writing, The Huffington Post has not provided any evidence to the contrary, nor even denied item 14 above.

Cynthia Hallett is EXACTLY the type of nitwit who should never be given a momment's acknowledgment. She keeps saying that "we don't know what's in there" blah blah blah. When she should rather say "I'm sorry, *I* don't know what I'm talking about but I'm not about to let that stop me." ....!


Oh, and "Huffington Post Misinformation" is redundant.

If you read the comments...looks like about 95% are pro-ecigs...so the disinformation does not necessarily translate into ignorance...."not necessarily" I said
