Good article. Fair and balanced reporting. Fox News earned it's name.

I find the part where the anti-smoking person states that there is a bigger problem when it "looks" just like a cigarette which can cause confusion. Another reason why the more our PV's do NOT look like cigarettes and the more we do NOT use the term "electronic cigarette", the better it will be for vaping in general.

to be allowed in places where regular cigarettes are banned, electronic cigarettes wouldn't just have to be safer; they'd have to "do no harm."

That is a preposterous and unattainable level of safety to set, in that even breathing in a mouthful of 'fresh air' is not safe enough to "do no harm". The anti's are still moulding the rules to make them unachievable for vapers.

Do no harm?
Really?

Okay, let's start a list of all the things that should not be allowed under that philosophy...
1) Automobiles
2) Twinkies
3) Cafe Mocha
4) Barbeques
5) Onion rings
6) Motorcycles
7) Peanuts
8) Everlasting Gobstoppers
9) Sugar, salt, and milk

I could go on, and on, and on, and.........

But that is all kind of irrelevant anyway I think.
I mean, electronic cigarettes DO NO HARM as far as I know.

It is all comparative isn't it. How long is a piece of string? How many apples does it make to make an apple pie? How safe is 'safe'? Nobody is ever going to achieve absolute safety in any product on any shelf in any store. They can achieve comparative safety though. Vaping is comparatively safe, compared to smoking. That is the only measure of acceptance anyone can possibly use.

Processed lunch meat has been proven to be cancerous via nitrates. Oscar Meyer is still in business as is Bores Head and Hillshire Farms. Hotdogs too...... Ballpark, Hebrew Int'l.... People are simply afraid of their own mortality.

Smoke, skydive, wrestle croc's... I wish people who try to impose rules/regulations on everyone else would just let people enjoy their life and go live theirs. I swear.

THIS JUST IN: -Everything- kills you... you are dying since the day you are born. Live and let live.

Read this thread if you want to be amazed (I'm being PC) at what a few on here think is required before we should ever vape within a 100 yards of another living entity.
