Need some folks to set this guy straight:
Hazards of E-Cigarettes and the FDA | Play Goes Strong

I just couldn't be terribly nice.

David, David, David. "If it walks like a duck....." Really! You took over 2 year old FDA dog and pony information and regurgitated it. This story is OLD. OFTEN REPEATED, BUT O-L-D!

They had their St. Louis lab run some tests they hoped they could use as a defense in a lawsuit brought on by a couple E Cig companies. They didn't find much so the tried to (and were pretty successful due to the lack of journalistic research) create controversy by press conference. If you'd like to do what you should have done before writing, here is the report-

After that attempt they tried to defend their stance in Federal court being told they had no evidence of danger. They appealed, they lost. THEN they decided to treat them as a tobacco product.

I'll not go through, point by point, all the problems with your work. I'd nearly have to correct every sentence. A few points though, today many/most of the better E Cig products are no longer created in China. Unlike Chantix, no morbidity or mortality issues have been identified in over 4 years of use. Quite a few additional scientific studies have been completed and, to date, no adverse medical issues have been identified.

Instead of chastising your friend for finding a healthier alternative, you should thank him for doing himself and those around him a favor. Oh, before I go, don't you like interesting flavors. I sure know I do and I'm a long way from being a kid.

This was my comment -

"This is the most poorly researched drivel I have ever had the misfortune to read. Electronic cigarettes are literally saving lives by replacing the 4000+ chemicals in normal tobacco with just a few benign ingredients. Anyone who switches to e-cigs will find they gain all of the benefits of quitting smoking (return of taste, smell, improved lung function, etc) but are still able to enjoy their smoking habit. Many e-cigs users have cut their nicotine intake to nil and just vape (smoke) the liquid with flavours for pleasure. For goodness sake man, get a clue!"

The actual article is ridiculous beyond words. ElectricMan (hiding this time) is the stupidest excuse for a human being I have ever felt the need to take pity on. Yes, we know you are trolling here as usual. And yes, we know you are totally pathetic. But the weirdest part is that you probably get some kind of sick pleasure knowing how insane we all know you are. Is that really how you get your daily pleasure? Acting like a .....?

OK. I know. I shouldn't feed the trolls.

My comment...

To the author, if you knew how many smokers you may have dissuaded from trying electronic cigarettes, and thereby quite possibly saving their lives, you probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night. So I think it is probably best for your mental and emotional well being to remain ignorant on the subject of electronic cigarettes. But please, do the rest of the world a favor, and don't write about them anymore... you've already caused enough harm.

As for me, I have been using my electronic cigarette for over 28 months and am no longer killing myself by inhaling burning plant matter. My sense of smell and taste has come back, and recent tests have shown my lung function is back to 100% normal. And perhaps just as important, I no longer stink all the time, which gets me lots more kisses from my lovely wife.

I pity any smoker that reads what you've written here, and further, any person that loves a smoker.
