Interesting Op-Ed from the New York Times

[NiNi]

The times, they are a-changin?

Well, Bob Dylan wasn't talking about the New York Times or vaping, but it fits with this op-ed. Seems to be a turn around for this paper from what they were printing a year ago.......http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/11/o....html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20140111


*mods, I know you'll place this in the news area...just giving the Gen. Discussion area a sneak peak*

Excellent read!! Very light on any facts about e-cigs but it definitely paints them in a good light! Thanks for sharing!

Encouraging indeed.

Thanx for the link!

"Yet many in the public health community have pushed for e-cigarettes to be treated the same as combustible cigarettes; when you have been fighting a war for nearly half a century, it is hard to put down your weapons."

It's also hard to give up that paycheck...


"Instead of focusing on the potential for e-cigarettes to save lives, they worry instead that the new products will serve as a gateway to smoking — a fear that has yet to show up in any study."

Start out on vaping.. try an analog once -- and run right back to vaping...

The real gateway is the ANTZ. They try to make me start smoking by taking my vape away. Ban them all.

There has been a couple of very positive articles over here too lately. More press time given to drug and addiction researchers that are all for vaping, and less focus on the ANTZ.

Good article, and very important good press. The other day I just heard of a co-worker's wife who had quit using e-cigs. It is so important we share this simple message, "E-cigs helped me quit when all other methods had failed."
