I just love how articles like this give you no chance to post replies...
I also love how the dentist told one patient to "use e-cigs after his dental surgery to help speed the healing process."

Just garbage.

Oh no my taste buds are turning black! Isn't there some odd disease that turns your tongue black? I think that person could use some common sense if my tongue was changing colors I think I would go to a doctor immediately not call the FDA which can't help you just to make a complaint of which you have no proof that an ecig caused it. Or the person had some hella dry atty. I just love this phrase "'huffing' it voraciously" .

"Black hairy tongue" is a well-known medical condition which is generally harmless, though alarming to look at (especially if the black hairy tongue is in your own mouth). You can look it up on wikipedia.

Between March 2013 and March 2014, more than 50 complaints about e-cigarettes were filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to data obtained through a public records request.

Quick, someone put in a public records request to find out how many complaints there were during the same time frame about Chantix, Zyban, and pharmaceutical nicotine products.

What kills me about stories like this; MSN carries this story on their main page for about 20-30 minutes (long enough for the misinformed to read it, and start spouting off the worst garbage about e-cigs and vaping), then the story is gone. But, they carry crap about "Tom Cruise secretly dating" all day long. And they don't give you an easy way to post about the article, either--whether you want to refute it, or not.
