Misbehave responsibly with e-cigarettes: Column

[BuGlen]

An opinion column in USA today that talks to the recent CDC report with some common sense:
Misbehave responsibly with e-cigarettes: Column

I like this columnist's attitude.

Kids are going to experiment. That's what kids do. I'd rather they experiment with e-cigs than just about anything else out there.

This column is a gem of the common sense variety. My favorite gems within the gem:

One would think that anti-tobacco activists would welcome all this, but they don't for a simple reason: E-cigarettes are much too cigarette-y.

A spokesperson for the Food and Drug Administration, which wants to regulate e-cigarettes, said, "We don't want the public to perceive them as a safer alternative to cigarettes" — a puzzling statement considering that is precisely what they are.

"And if you inhale something besides oxygen, an electronic cigarette won't kill you, at least not immediately.

And the e-cigarette is much less likely to blow up your oxygen tank.

They are, like Larry King's eighth wife, much better than the original.

Here's my personal favorite:

Anti-smoking absolutists oppose e-cigarettes for the worst of reasons — because they are safer.

This guy is a regular HOOT, and makes TOO MUCH good sense.

" It is hard to demonize something that means you little or no harm. That's why no one talks about banning vitamin C or invading Switzerland."

Whoa...
"Former anti-tobacco U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, now a board member of an e-cigarette firm, said they are "the first thing I've seen in years that has promise for decreasing tobacco use in our country."

E-cigarettes are saving Millions of Lives around the world ...

I wouldn't want to piss off a surgeon general, even if a previous one. If I were an ANTZ I think I'd change my name, then retire on an island far far away....

You're assuming the ANTZ function in the real world, instead of in their own little lalaland. They probably believe former surgeon generals who disagree with them should be afraid of *them*! Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in either place...?
