Thanks for the link. I think this is an extremely supportive piece and in an important paper. I also think it will influence many people in their attitudes about e-cigs, including other journalists (all of whom read the NYT). I hope Bloomberg himself sees it. He's a rabid anti-tobacco guy and I imagine it will be called to his attention.

About as important as the National Enquirer. The NYT will be bankrupt in the near future.
Aside from that, it was a very nice piece.

Your welcome, I hope more people will enjoy it.

A couple of days before the first HELP hearings Dr. Nitzkin suggested I send some quick letters to major newspapers. I wrote to the Times, and enclosed a package with basic info about e-cigs, as well as a lot of info from Drs. Nitzkin and Seigel, and Bill Godshall. I asked them to use the information as a starting point for their own research, and then publish a fair article, since as a respected and widely read publication they might be able to make a difference and help save lives.

I have no idea whether my package initiated the coverage, but I'm glad to see an article that isn't all negative. I had hoped for better, but wasn't counting on it.

We still need to see articles from sources outside the realm of e-cig users, suppliers and the few other strong supporters that buck the politically correct anti-anything-like-a-cigarette ideology, enlightening people with more of the very significant harm reduction potential e-cigs offer.

Agreed but im sure the Admin will bail them out if/when that happens.
They are basically a extention of his Press Secretary.
