NY Times article on e-cigs maybe the best mass media article to date

[six]

There needs to be more writers like this one in the mainstream media.

He points out who is for and against e-cigs and calls out the people who are against to back up their reasons. I'm impressed. Great article

I couldn't agree with you more! Finally some common sense..

That's a good article and I'm hoping we'll see a growing trend of more informed opinions being expressed. I'm thinking the pv has a bright future as more and more people become aware of the real benefits.

Honestly, it shocks me that it's taken this long to see an article like this.
Well, actually I guess it doesn't shock me that much, because I understand what's going on behind the scenes.

 

[Baldr]

Yes, that is a very nice article.

This is a fantastic article. Perhaps a turning point.

Do you know how many people love to quote the New York Times ?

I'm so impressed with the quality of their reporting on this subject that I may even subscribe !

Thank you for sharing the article. One of the best and most balanced ones I have read.

Excellent article with a healthy dose of common sense!

At least we now have an idea of how many in the US are vaping, 3 million according to the CDC.

From across the ocean I compliment you, fellow sane albeit American people.

Yes, thanks for sharing. Fantastic that they linked their sources.

It's really a shame that most anti's are against anything they don't fully understand.

 

[Iffy]

Well, I guess we now have to fight the Big Three; BT, BP and BC (Big Charities)!

Actually, I'm sure they do understand it. Unfortunately the truth is not what they want to hear. The majority of the anti-smoking movement is built on a foundation of misinformation and lies about safer alternatives, and is driven by a greed for profit which is generated by their on-going efforts to keep smokers (and non-smokers) unaware of the (much) safer alternatives available. I honestly hope these self-righteous, greedy bigots read the article and choke on it.

And I also hope the general public read this, see it as truth, and stop donating money to these so-called health groups. They don't deserve a penny. If the health groups mentioned had the slightest concern for health, they would have welcomed e-cigs.

The one thing the "antis" have in common is where they get their money. Just follow the money. 90% of their funding come from Big Pharm. Big Pharm knows that their NRT business, that has a 93% failure rate, is suffering due to vaping. And where do a large percentage of ex-FDA excutives end up working: Big Pharm.

That was actually my point. You cannot fully understand anything when you rely on misinformation.

What the previous poster meant was that the Antis are the ones putting out the misinformation, on purpose.
