This is excellent media and legislative advocacy. Could use more comments posted on the radio station's website

It was posted on the Utah legislation thread, but is deserving of its own thread.

Great job.

Jacinda and Aaron were fantastic. I just listened to the interview and was highly impressed.

Thank you Jacinda and Aaron for providing the truthful and positive persective on vaping.

 

[freakindahouse]

Absolutely brilliant! Well done, both of you.

Jacinda Ross and Aaron Frazier, Thank you so much for your time and hard work for our e-cig cause! Excellent work!

This is great. Kudos to Jacinda and Aaron, you represented us well.

A pretty negative NPR story was where I first heard about e-cigs back in 2009. It's nice to see we've made some progress.

May I add my congratulations to the two of you for a job very well done.

Wow I just noticed that Bill started a separate thread on this while researching media personalities who smoke (if I could locate any). Thanks to Bill and the rest for the kind words, Jacinda and I were all too happy to do the interview. We are still working to try and get them to do a more in depth follow up. I have also contacted all TV stations in the region and several other radio stations to do the same. So far no takers.

DataPhreak - yea that was Jacinda's T and my puny looking 510. I didn't realize how feminine it looked until I too saw the pic of mine next to hers. I've since upgraded to a big eGo 1000mAh battery and looks a bit more manly (beats on chest).

Are you doing the Tarzan yell, too, Aaron?

I can hear a Tim Allen impersonation coming from the direction of Utah!

Jacinda and Aaron, Thank You again for defending electronic cigarettes I also completely agree with Jacinda for explaining that parents that are responsible enough to quit smoking for their families, are also responsible enough to store liquids/devices in a safe place away from where children can get them! I presonally have mine stored in a safe box with a lock and when I leave the bathroom where I store them I also lock the bathroom door. Other then that my PV stays with me all day so no chance my children could get it! I am so speechless about what e-cigs have done for myself and my family, my husband and I would never stood a chance at quitting smoking any other way!
Thank you again for educating more people on the advantages of using e-cigs over analogs!
