I saw that same commercial about a month ago around 2 AM, and I'm thankful that I came across it. I did not end up with any BluCigs, but it got me looking around and I found some great things that are working quite well for me. So thanks BluCigs for getting me to think and for letting me know that there are some alternatives to cigarettes that really work.

I've seen that commercial a million times. "Come on, we're all adults here!" His walking slo-mo shot is hilarious. "Take your freedom back!" La Magra the Blood God vapes Blu's. LOL.

Edit, forgot to mention there's a lesser-quality commercial that comes on late night. It's got a dude using a Blu-type e-cig in his car. He parks at a red light and does his "I can smoke anywhere now!" spiel. Funny thing is, no one is smoking anything! :)

I think it's the same dude from a ...... commercial. He can smoke anywhere and get on his wife's nerves at the same time.

Some states the "smoking" part of the commercials is edited out, as they won't allow that part to be shown.

Has anyone ever told you you kinda look like Rick Astley? :)

I've been seeing that commercial pretty often, ever since Lorillard bought Blu they've really been pushing to advertise. I'm glad too, I didn't get a Blu (thank god) but it got me to look into vaping again after being disappointed a few years back when I first tried.

Kinda funny though isn't it? You never see an eGo advertised, and I'm betting if one of our most popular vendors wanted to advertise, the advertising department down at the stations would say NO WAY...........Big Tobacco owns Blu and wants to advertise, OK no problem at all. Big tobacco always gets what they want, even in the vaping world.

I can honestly say that's never happened. I did hear Daniel Craig once, but never Rick Astley. :)

There's a good chance you're right, BT is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in existence. But I feel like part of it is money too. It's ridiculously expensive to advertise, especially on TV, and I'd bet that most PV vendors just can't afford it the way BT can.
