Our Member, Frubbish to give ABC TV News Interview on E-Cigs Tomorrow - Let’s Wish Frubbish Luck!!

[DisMan]

OMG! It sounds like you choked!! (Yes, I am joking.)

Sounds like you did wonderful. The "stammering" bit, if they leave it in, will only help to show you as a consumer and human being. So, don't think it will be negative in anyway.

Now, if you were say...Obama, and started to stammer, people might suspect something...oh wait, he does that too.

Good job. Looking forward to the report airing! I hope it's online soon.

Great Job, Bizzy!..so excited to see the interview..
I would of been terrified to do this..awesome you even jumped at this opportunity..
well done , no matter what the outcome !

 

[bizzyb0t]

Thanks guys and gals.

Btw, I have a friend here who e-smokes but he totally wasn't going to do an interview

His favorite e-cig is a DES-901 but he was impressed with my JOYE306A

I hate how I look on camera and I hate hearing how my voice sounds when played back, so the worst isn't over for me… yet 8-o

If that was the full transcript, then she missed asking alot of questions and ommitting major PRO points...such as "not inhaling 4000 chemicals at once."

I really really hope that isnt the full transcript

GOD BLESS FREE SPEECH AND THE INTERNET.

I mentioned to her about the fact that it doesn't have the 4000 poisonous chemicals that "analogs" do. Several times.

That is why I hope it's not the full transcript. We know you would share that point with her....just hope she didn't willfully edit out that part.

Bizzy--I hope you are going to set the record straight at least for us after this airs so that we know how much "cherry picking" was done--thanks Bizzy----Sun

None of the quoted individuals in that article are me!!

My name is Chris Costa-- so I think that news blurb was done days ago but only posted today.

That must have been someone who she interviewed earlier this week.

*sigh* this is why I don't own a TV!

 

[DisMan]

I'm waiting for the visual.

Unfortunately, all the "societies" will be very skeptical. The heart association, the cancer society...just don't forget that those groups deal with extremely bad situations all day long and they own the reports on cancer and heart disease..etc.

So, they'll say the safest thing possible.

But I don't think they ever came out about SUV's and carbon monoxide poisoning....

 

[puff-puff-pass]

Who in the h#ll is "DrBoyd"?? Nice guy decided to use the news blog to advertise his site and say next to nothing about what e-cigs are or why they are beneficial/controversial.

 

[Iken]

Remember guys. What ever is going to be posted or edited in any news article, it isn't necessarily the reporter's decision. It's whatever "the powers that be" want to be known to the public.
This subject seems very controversial in every news report so far..Heh maybe ABC is looking for bidders (not to be taken seriously)
Most definitely want to know which direction they're going to tomorrow night.

Trying to quit? Have an e-cigarette

WASHINGTON: The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is trying to fight the spread of the world’s first electronic cigarette across the United States.

The e-cig, touted as the world’s first healthy cigarette, runs on batteries and contains pure liquid nicotine. Its distributor, Smoking Everywhere, says it is similar to the nicotine patch but allows reformers the oral fixation smoking provides.

The FDA views e-cigs as an unapproved new drug due to the lack of scientific research on its safety or effectiveness. It is trying to stop their import into the U.S., but isn’t seizing the products already sold online and in 100 kiosks across the country.

According to CNN, e-cigs are already gaining popularity in Switzerland, Sweden, Brazil and the UK.

so far the only mainstream media that has done a fairly unbiased story on ecigs seems to be Dr. Gupta's story on CNN.. the good news is he preoved it CAN be done fairly.. the bad news is doesn't seem that the other outlets WANT to follow suit

Indeed good sir. I know its been said a thousand times by now, but this is rediculous that we can lose our right to do something thats actually safer in this world for the cause of $$$. I say $$$ because they're trying to attack the ingredients in the liquid now.

Liggett, which broke with the industry by signing the first settlements ever with states and private attorneys suing it, supports the Massachusetts effort as well. "Liggett believes that its adult consumers have a right to full disclosure," Liggett head Bennett S. LeBow said in a statement. Along with blended tobacco and water, the 26-item L&M list includes high fructose corn syrup, sugar, natural and artificial licorice flavor, menthol, artificial milk chocolate and natural chocolate flavor, valerian root extract, molasses and vanilla extracts, and cedarwood oil. Less familiar additives include glycerol, propylene glycol, isovaleric acid, hexanoic acid and 3-methylpentanoic acid.

Ikenmoke--You did not miss a beat. This is a backward stance at best by the American Cancer Society and the FDA--ie; "there is no evidence, so go smoke cigarettes, as we are banning the device that has no evidence that it is good for you and continuing to let you use the cigarettes we know will kill you"-----So no, you did not miss anything my friend at all---Sun

Analogs don't contain 4000 poisonous chemicals so it's fine if that wasn't included.
