Interview from small town in VIRGINIA!!!!

[TropicalBob]

YOU did just fine. This is what we must expect in all real press reports. It is fair. It is balanced. It does raise valid questions. In the end, you probably helped raise e-cigarette awareness among smokers/viewers. And that's a positive thing.

 

[C2Girl]

Wow...thanks TB!
That means so much coming from you. This reporter was very interested in all aspects of this, and he also did his homework too.
All we can ask.

 

[Noodles]

Good job, Simple and honest

We need more reports like that.
More personal opinions.

Good job, nice to see another person in my area spreading the good word!

Also cool that VCU is doing a study.

Here's a link that I did with our local paper. E-cigarettes deliver nicotine without smoke - - HealthyRockford.com

Just keep it on a personal level and you'll do great. Good luck with your upcoming interviews.

That's a GREAT article, crisp, to the point, down to earth, and totally truthful.
Brilliant!

Real nice C2girl Pity you couldn't know what they put up 'against' you isn't it... what was said could have been nicely refuted by you for most of what was said. But well... doesn't work that way. And I'm sure you got some smokers to come and take a better look!

Last words btw before changing subject: 'a formal study is underway at VCU - trying to learn how the nicotine from e-cigarettes affects the body'
So that's another instance where this fact gets affirmed.

Awesome job, C2girl. I thought you did great. The anti-smoking girl they had on there came across as a bit smarmy to me, I just wanted to reach through the screen and bop her on the end of the nose with a newspaper.

[C2Girl]

Aww shucks thanks guys!
Ivisi--I need to go check the other thread, but did the today show get back to you? BTW, I printed out your letter and let the reporter read it. I myself could have written that letter and I thought it was EXCELLENT!

 

[Ivisi]

Thank you.

No response from the Today Show, but then again, I'm not really expecting one, either. I'd like to think my little letter would generate a frenzy of activity in the NBC News department, but I'm too much of a realist to really believe it.

Good job c2girl. Funny how they always said "ecigarettes are not FDA approved" but never 'real cigarettes are also not FDA approved".

You put a postive spin out there for us, thanks.

Good job! You talked candidly and honestly about e-cigs, that's the best anyone could ask for.

Just glad they didn't interview me, I vape inside and while at my clients

 

[BARENETTED]

C2GIRL- you did great! You Rock!
Everyone of us should be contacting our local news stations and asking for a chance to get our opinion televised.

Most of the people on the news casts are people who have never even tried them and know nothing about them. They just express their 'knee jerk' reaction.

Do NOT call it a "Device", you need to make sure you call it a Smoking Alternative, and if you are a supplier do not market / mention it as being a cessation product or device in any way, it's only an alternative. Otherwise they are putting words into your mouth and will use that against you. One big issue they are concernced about is the flavors of the products, since they feel they are targeted towards younger age groups. Act as if the flavors don't even exist, because they will just twist what you say otherwise. No need to be nervous ;-) ... I've been on air too about it, half a million listeners. Doing it almost weekly now in some sort of manner. I've got a paper interview next week as well.

 

[Avid]

You did a *great job*!!!
