Just when they thought they'd begun to wipe out smoking, technology brought in something much safer that looks like what they want to eradicate. Poor old ANTZ!
If they will all give up coffee, I'll give up the nic in my ecig, but not as long as one person still drinks a caffeine laced beverage. That includes Colas and Diet Colas, Tea, and energy drinks, too. And, let's don't forget about chocolate and 5 hour energy shots.

It amazes me how long they can actually go on and on about what 'could happen' and what 'isn't known' about the effects of something they 'just don't have enough information on'.
I especially liked this part 'Anti-smoking advocates, however, argue that observers can’t tell the difference between electronic cigarettes and the real thing.'
There's nothing like legislated ignorance...

I believe that this is about the same article, already being commented upon and discussed. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/media-general-news/489965-antz-disguise-article.html
E-cigs dont tell me anything...it's an inanimate object. unlike my waffle iron, which constantly orders me to burn everything down.

I wonder how many hits these stories get from vapers alone. If it works to get eyes on the page they'll stick to the formula. It works too. I can't resist reading.
....inanimate objects like my iron and vacuum cleaner, which constantly tell me to leave them alone...

I have that problem with my appliances, too.
And as the complete antithesis to Media, ANTZ, Health (haha) Authorities, Trained (haha) Doctors, Governments, The WHO, FDA, and 'corruptables in general-we 'Vapers' can educate with a list of 10
1 The truth
2 The whole truth
3 Nothing but the truth
4 Nicotine is present in vegetables, and does not cause cancer
5 According to an unverified rumour 1 child died
6 We know exactly whats in these things (some of us put the ingredients there ourselves)
7 They are a gateway out of smoking (an otherwise difficult addiction to break free from using approved methods)
8 Doctors and the FDA are either lying, are corrupt, inept or are blissfully ignorant (in general)
9 We inhale a GRAS (generally regarded safe by FDA and others) chemical used to make Anti-freeze safe
10 Vaping is vaping and smoking is smoking-one club is losing members in droves, the other is gaining members in droves.
Regarding #5, Israeli media has never published a follow-up story on the death of that toddler.
Here is some information on oral nicotine poisoning in general: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ckingly-bad-local-article-7.html#post11304013
1. Exposures in children are usually caused by eating cigarettes or cigarette butts.
2. Fatalities are extremely rare. (1 fatality in 27 years of reports--related to eating cigarettes)
In 2010, there were 8,788 exposures to nicotine in tobacco products. One was to e-liquid, and 29 were exposure to e-cigarette device and/or cartridge. There were zero deaths across the entire category, and only 5 exposures were considered major. Those 5 involved cigarettes (1), snuff (2), and unknown types of tobacco (2). There were 1,326 exposures to nicotine pharmaceuticals (i.e., NRT products). No deaths, and no major outcomes.
