Searched if there is thread about it. Couldn't find it, so opening a new one. Anyone read the article in times about vaping and the lack of oversight? Would be interested to hear opinions on it. My take, while I do agree on some points as far as oversight, is that tobacco industry and lobby's are getting aggressive in counter advertising on e cigs and must be somehow behind this. It's just presented so one way. By now, I'm sure the numbers are not what they want and the only play they have, apart from drastically lowering prices, is to make e cigs look worse then regular cigarettes. They do have money to put out so called research, and I find it funny how all of a sudden, regular cigarettes, with all the stuff in them, are being projected almost as non health issue ( downplayed to say the least ) and e cig the new devil. Bottom line, article, in all its wisdom fails to say, how we don't have any oversight on cigarettes or what they put in them. At least not from tobacco industry. not good for vape industry and just waiting for some idiot to blow him self sub-ohming to make the case for them when it comes to safety. We know better, but majority of population will not.

They are on completely opposite sides of the political spectrum. They certainly don't work together...

The political spectrum is an illusion.

The insider by Russell Crowe and Al Pacino is a good thing to watch. Control or influence the media with money, at the end it produces similar result on population. Now I don't know if that is the case, but it is highly probable seeing how much less money they will make due to smokers switching to e cigs. what I don't get is how any article not backed by tobacco industry, could ignore the fact that cigarettes, which we know are harmful and shorten life expectancy, are not regulated, but something, in this case vaping, even if they are better in comparison by just 10%, calls to be what I understand eventually banned or have serious oversight. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for oversight, but the article has serious agenda, and that is obvious.

Eh maybe we should all get the numbers to the main guys in the big tobacco companies and post em on line and encourage everyone to bombard their phones. Or we can all go and sit our state reps office in protest... The queaky wheel gets the grease.
All of these types of articles fail to point out the most obvious thing about vaping vs smoking - the whole part about vs.
It seems that even the fairest articles rarely bring it up.
There are no long terms studies that have been completed as of yet, but there have been several 2-5 years studies that compare vaping favorably to smoking.
Instead, no mention of the benefits. Just at best, thinly veiled hit pieces that make no mention of benefits over smoking, rather than its preferable not to vape at all.
Also, if I keep reading about the chemical impurities found in juice without putting it in the context of it being found in trace amounts in one sample out of many, and in a cheap chinese source juice at that, I will puke.

I'm so glad that big tobacco is looking out for our best interests like they have for so many years puke:

What I'm confused about right now is, don't all the top "big tobacco" companies own their own e-cig brand at this point. I thought they did.
