This article, by Senior Editor James Ellis, and other articles about America's newest vice, are featured in Newsweek's new special edition, vape Nation.

But the rapid acceptance of e-cigarette and vaporizer use provides Big Tobacco the opportunity to rekindle the old fires once more—or snuff them out forever. Either way, tobacco companies have taken measures in recent years to both capitalize on e-cigarettes’ popularity, and to mitigate whatever damage vaporizers might eventually bring on their traditional business.

They're asking for $11 for the special Newsweek edition:

It's now showing sold out online. Might I be able to find it on a Newsstand? Not sure I want to spend $11.00 on it though. That could buy a pack of coils or a small bottle of juice!

Hmmm... not sure that I care for the wording here
"Newsweek blows the lid off the vaping phenomenon, explaining the past, present and future of what many believe is America’s new favorite vice."

Could be interesting though. Thanks for sharing, nicnik.

Yeah, something that may save your life (or add years to it) isn't a "vice".

At my rate of usage, I could buy about 2 years worth of nicotine with that $11.

"Newsweek blows the lid off

Newsweak couldn't blow the lid off of a porta potty.

Newsweak couldn't blow the lid of off a porta potty.

I don't know. I bet that if someone paid them enough they could.

I will pay!... less than 11 dollars.

Ouch!
This would be a great tool to show to others. Positive press from a mainstream source should have a much greater impact than a printout of a web page from a site no one but us have ever heard of.

 

[DC2]

I wish I had seen this before it was sold out.
Should be able to find it on Ebay soon enough though.

I hope it's positive press. Have you heard so?

Nothing outside this thread. Was out running a few errands this morning but did not go in a store with magazines.

Apparently, they got more copies and it's available again online.

I just about bought it to add to my vaping collection of memorabilia.
Then I found out that shipping was $6.25 and hell no.

I'm not buying that just on principle.
.......s.

I doubt Newsweek could do a good job with it, anyway. I'm mostly only interested because I'd like to be aware of what the public might be reading. Then again, I doubt many people other than vapers and tobacco controllers are gonna buy a copy.

I'll wait and see if anyone buys it and tells us what's in it.

I'm usually skeptical about Newsweek... and most of the bigger media sources for that matter, but this excerpt sums up a lot of my sentiments.

Thanks a bunch for sharing. I don't read much print anymore, and it'd be nice to see something like this on the newsstands.

Looked at the excerpt.
Why is the fake vapor on the cover the shape of a {other stuff} leaf?
WHY Newsweak?

It can be an important part of the discussion, but they'll likely bungle that.
