Milwaukee TV News Report on eCigs

[Jman8]

Well my local city finally did a news report on eCigs. Okay, not sure if its the first of it's kind in Milwaukee, but is one of the first I'm aware of.

Here is link to that report: Fox 6 News

And here is top paragraph excerpt from that piece:

MILWAUKEE (WITI) — E-cigarettes, the smokeless electronic cigarettes may be cutting edge and cost-effective, but is it costing you your body? For more than a decade users have been inhaling substances that are not regulated, but all of that is about to change.

I took the piece in all as somewhat negative and/or outdated with information it chose to convey. But the positive impressions I had include:

- Learned of local vape shop that until the report, I didn't know existed
- Learned an interesting fact about Wisconsin based, Johnson Creek juice maker, "Now Johnson Creek is the second largest maker of smoke juice in the world"
- Glad to see the following comment from fellow vaper when addressing the tangent of 'flavors are targeted at kids'

But for many, the flavor is part of the draw.

"I love the fact you can try other flavors, and the minute I took a hit of it I was like ‘this is it. This is going to work.’ It’s been almost two months now, I don`t want a cigarette,” said Gloria Mendoza.

The rest of the piece was, IMO, on the negative side of things. All of which most politically aware vapers have debunked and/or put into proper perspective.

One that really stood out was the pulmonary Dr spreading the "it's got antifreeze in it" falsehood, guess she doesn't read the ingredient list on some of the meds she prescribes.
