Your article is EXCELLENT - thank you. My two cents follows -
Two MAJOR reasons that nic-vaporizers must be banned is the $70 to $80 BILLION tax revenue to the Feds that they now receive from the new $1.00 per pack tax. States would also loose about $20 BILLION annually if vaping catches on and more people switch, feel better, and have much better medical stats like what has happened for me. In six months of vaping my blood pressure is back down to normal and my blood oxygen absorbtion level has climbed from 94 to 96%. I NEVER even cough anymore. My doctor also has me listed as a non-smoker!!!
Pharmacutical companies, also stand to loose BILLIONS from the loss of drugs needed to prolong the lives of people as they whither away and die from tobacco smoking. Doctors and hospitals and funeral homes would also loose BILLIONS!!!
In essence, the US ecomony - already decimated, cannot allow people to get healthy and stop buying cigarettes and have the 500,000 people who die each year end. It would ruin the gov't - what would they then "SIN" tax.

Use whatever you can from the article. My sources are all linked in the article or came from basic google searches. The people interviewed are members here.
Thank you for your support. The final draft will be up in December but I will post updates as I work on it. If anyone has some feedback or sources please PM me. I was going to start a new thread about it, but i'm new to the scene so I cannot create my own posts. Sorry if I hyjacked your thread or anything. A wonderful article btw, it's a good read.
I notice everybody is Digging but there are other things too, like StumbleUpon or Reddit. Also, Kristin, you could submit it to AssociatedContent or Triond. I don't think I can post links yet, but all of those sites are the name followed by .com
Apologies if anybody already mentioned these places; I didn't read this entire thread because it's pretty long.
And this is the part of the article I just love:
Oh yes, PVs SCARE people so they must be banned! This is insane.

Great article. Thanks for the good work - hopefully it will find it's way to a lot of places.
You're exactly right about the "rush." Most of the instant rush from an analog comes from the carbon monoxide flooding your bloodstream and therefore reducing the oxygen level in your brain. Light-headed and dizzy are the result. E-cig vapor does not contain carbon monoxide.
Reduced oxygen levels are BAD

Julianka, thank you so much for the AssociatedContent.com tip - I wish I had known about them 2 weeks ago!!
I've submitted to them - I think they get picked up better by the search engines, so maybe it'll go viral faster and mainstream media might pick it up, as well!
I've updated my blog post to include sources. Maybe BigJim will add those to his post, as well - it gives it more credibility:Thank you for your support.

Yeah! All you newbies that love your new e-cig - get to Digg-ing or your new toy may go bye-bye!
I've been visiting Digg for about a year now.
While your article is awesome, ok, it's fantastic and I agree with every last word, here's the thing:
Articles that get "dugg" are more news related. Personal accounts, anecdotal stories and such don't share the same success as "Man With Twelve Testicles Bites Head Off Of Wombats". It's not fair, just the way that it is.
And really, I don't mean to be a wet blanket here, just look around Digg and you'll see what I am saying. I really do believe your piece belongs on the front page and I dugg every single one of your comments.
I do believe that this would make a bigger impact if it were sent to a thousand online newspapers. THEN sent to Digg. It only helps if you get the non-vaping people into the debate and discussion.
I'm sure you guys already realize this, I just had to say it out loud.

Of course you're right. That is one reason I've been asking people,to also post to facebook, myspace & twitter - to help it go viral. Also, StumbleUpon or Reddit.
I also submitted the article to Associated Content and it's in review by their editors at this time.
Just finished adding the sources to the Pressroom article. Looks great!

I love this information... Ill post this up on face book for sure!
A very informative article. As active members of the vaping community, we need to push the whole environmentally responsible issue.
By vaping I'm pretty sure we are reducing our carbon footprint.
Although I don't know of evidence supporting it, I think vapes are vegan also. I don't think manufacturers are doing lab tests with animals, at least none that I know of.
Only disposables might end up in landfills, and even then could they be recycled? The plastic carts should be labeled for such, I refill mine so I won't be disposing of them anytime soon.
Lithiums can be disposed at any battery recycling centers.
People can't be so ignorant to the fact that regular cigarette smoking causes numerous health issues to not only smokers but those around them.

Great Work....I have contacted our local television stations and newspaper with this article. Lets see if they have any interest... Who knows "As Maine goes so goes the Nation"
