Men's Health Mag Article

[desertlover]

The new March 2015 issue of Men's Health has an article on e -cigs, starting on page 113. It is several pages long, sometimes accurate, sometimes not. The authors report the invention of the original e-cig and the personal story of one of their mothers struggle with smoking.

A variety of sources are quoted, studies, statistics and the fact e-cigs are too new for long term results. One pop-out box reads "Within the next decade, three tobacco companies will control 75 percent of the e-cigarette market." That is very concerning to me. I love dealing with the little guys and hope many will remain, able to make a living.

Concluding statement of article: "But thinking of those, like my mom who are already gone, I can't help but wish that Hon Lik's invention had come decades sooner."

I wish I could include a link to the article. Not that computer savvy.

That article is over a year old. The one the OP was referring to is this:

It starts out like this:

E-Cigarettes Aren't Safe
E-Cigarettes Aren't Nearly as Safe as You've Been Led to Believe
E-cigarettes may help you quit smoking. But they may also become habit-forming and kill you anyway

I haven't read it yet, but I'm expecting it to not be as bad as the beginning.

Thanks for your help guys.

Nicnik, in the magazine, the text you mention is in a framed box that looks like the warning on a cigarette pack, so I just flipped on by and didn't read the Warning box and what I thought was the same old thing.

I noted that if you go to "Full Page" view on your link, it brings up the article that most closely resembles the magazine article.

I clicked on the view as single page and got the exact same scare headlines, but I agree that it is a very touching (sad, though) story about his mother. I mostly liked the body other the article. Some of it wasn't good, a lot of it was, but the headlines were awful. I'm guessing the editors were responsible for that part. Thanks for posting it, desertlover.
