This article is from January, but I had not seen it before. Thought I would share it with others who had not seen it either. It was written by Kristin Noll-Marsh who is the VP for CASAA. Gotta smile at this one!

Stop the ANTZ: New nicotine product shows ANTZ e-cigarette "hazards" hypocrisy

Mmmm ... hydrochloric acid juice. Delicious!

"Caring for the world, one person at a time…", as the J&J website has it.

Thanks for sharing that - I missed it the first time around. Maybe, instead of a few tobacco companies buying ecig businesses, we need the Pharmas to get in on it. There would never be a ban on ecigs, ever.

WOW...that was a great read, ethanol, basically aspartame as a sweetner, amongst others...and thats ok? Wow...just because J&J made it doesn't mean it is safe...I still cannot for the life of me figure out how anyone can say that an e-cig can be in anyway even close to as toxic as analog or NRT therapies containing similar ingredients used in tobacco production. OH MY...smh

the list of chemicals for the mist looks like stuff they cant use in anything else anymore and that they have to get rid of!

I've said it a long time ago...the bans is just so they give themselves time to regulate and decide how much they will tax it (and we all know as it gets more and more popular,they will rise and rise and rise it,for public transport,for children,for health care,for the roads,same old BS)...only problem is the market is developping quickly,much more quicker then they are comfy with and by now,the propaganda machine is too far along...at this point,or they are right or we are wrong but there is no middle field anymore.

This will get interesting in the coming year or two,brace yourselves for more lies,epic category.

I've thought about this one a bit, and I'm not so sure this is hypocritical from the anti-smoking groups point of view. I kinda think that their position with this mist is consistent. Here's why:

1) It's a mist, it's not intended to be inhaled, just spray in your mouth
2) There is no vapor to exhale, so you don't look like your smoking, so you are not de-normalizing smoking
3) It's a product that is intended to be used only for 12 weeks, in which time they hope you have quit smoking

This sounds like other products that they back, the patch and gum. The fact that the "Mist" contains some of the same ingredients as e-juice is enough to call them hypocritical, is it?
