[albertbert]

Thats a good article!

Good article.

Politics with money greasing the palms of our lucrative government.... Makes absolutely no sense to ban juice with nic... Get on board Canada and stop greasing your palms, then complaining that our hospitals are over whelmed with the ill from tobacco and the list goes on and on and on...

It's actually National Post but WOW, awesome post and awesome positive exposure for ecigarettes in Canada!!!

"Rather than implementing policies that are in the best interests of Canadians, it is the government that has become addicted to the lucrative tobacco industry."

Well said indeed! Great article.

Very nice to see some positive press. Perhaps there will be more in 2012!

 

[Mindfield]

Wow. Not just a positive article on electronic cigarettes, not only a technically accurate article on electronic cigarettes, but an article that actively calls Health Canada out to end the ban on nicotine liquids. Awesome!

EDIT: Turns out I do know him and have spoken with him at several meets. Great guy & great article.

Awesomness!

We need some of that in our local rags as well!

 

[FisherPal]

What an excellent article!! To whoever spoke with that reporter, you obviously impressed him/her (hard to tell by the name) with both your passion and your knowledge and the results now show. What a great outcome from a vapor meet!! And big kudos to the bar owner who allowed it as well. It's this kind of public recognition that we need!

We always like blaming the government. In reality, the government is composed of citizens like you and me. Until we can identify which official in the government is responsible for banning e-cigarettes, then make him look like a criminal by posting and spreading his pictures all over the internet, all we really have is rhetoric. Right now the government we talk about is invisible. It's untouchable.

Government is the only arena where ignorance is actually considered a legitimate defence.

I'm not so sure that they're competent enough to be so malicious about it, I just think the seal sees the fish dangling on the other side of the hoop and jumps for it.

What a great article! a must read from everyone.​

 

[mopar]

Does anyone from the GTA meet remember talking to a reporter at one of last meets?
If it was you, you have a free drink courtesy of me!

Great article that sounds like it came from one of us.

If no one owes up to it I'll take the drink Nice to see a positive article coming out of the mass media.

 

[Anya]

Awesome article. I hope its the first of many.

Very good article in favour of ecigs.

I particularly like this part of the article which points out the truth.

Jesse Kline, National Post

"To figure out why the government would try to prohibit the use of these products, one simply has to follow the money. Between 2001 and 2008, the federal government collected $20.4-billion worth of tobacco taxes. Rather than implementing policies that are in the best interests of Canadians, it is the government that has become addicted to the lucrative tobacco industry.

It's time to break the addiction: End the Canadian ban on electronic cigarettes."

In this day in age it's hard to get the truth from the "controlled media" - Jesse Kline you have my respect.

Good, encouraging article for vapers.

I just wish these writers start naming government officials who are directly involved in making life difficult to vapers. Put them on the spot or something. Until they do, I don't expect anything positive for more years to come.
