Newsweek special edition "Vape Nation" excerpt

[nicnik]

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

Who is reading the Electronic Cigarette News and Campaigning subforum?

If the Newsweek issue is about e-cigs and nicotine that cover is subversive, sleazy and cheap at best. imo

Adult should be able to use either product as they wish. imo

I've gone to three different news stands in Pittsburgh looking for this.

So far, all three news stands told me they haven't sold Newsweek for the past several years.

Seems like Newsweek's new business model is to publish Special Editions on various topics (as the market has dropped sharply for weekly news magazines).

One of the news stands still had old copies of Newsweek's Special Edition on Ronald Reagan.

Yup. But the article might be more about vaping both. Still, that cover will undermine the image of THR for most who see it.

Did they still have copies of the Special Edition on Bigfoot?

Newsweek: Bigfoot—The Science, Sightings and Search

(That one oughta give you a sense of how seriously they might be approaching this.)

Exactly. I haven't thought about it much, but initially I don't see any advantage to either group in tying these special interest groups and interests together.

The PM of Canada stated that recreational use will be legal in Canada on Apr. 20 2017.

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

Excellent point. I think it *is* an important part of the discussion, as @nicnik mentions, but I think that there's a big issue with how the media portrays vaping.

That image, coupled with the use of the word "vice" brings up an important discussion, but also undermines the true face of vaping as I see it.

The pressing question that Newsweek may be able to answer is does Bigfoot vape. Not expecting much beyond that.
