An interesting interview at The Ashtray Blog: How ECITA Is Changing The UK E-Cigarette Industry

Concludig section:

[...] I believe that people deserve to be told the truth about the options available to them: if they want to smoke, despite knowing the health risks, they should be allowed to make that choice for themselves; if they want to quit, they should be given accurate information about what to expect when trying to go ‘cold turkey’, and should be told the truth about the medical options available to them, i.e. NRT, including accurate information about the success and failure rates of these methods; and if they want to switch to an alternative nicotine product, such as electronic cigarettes, snus or other smokeless tobacco products, they should be given accurate information about these too. Numerous studies have demonstrated that happier people are healthier people. Let them eat cake? Yes! AND let them use nicotine!

Nice to know there are some people with a modicum of sense. Not sure if such can be infused in the American political system bought and paid for by big pharma.

our best bet is to get Paul or Johnson or possibly Cain in there in 2012, the first 2 would surely cut funding to the FDA drastically, and Cain likely would too. we just need somebody to get in there with a "screw these BS regulations"! attitude. I think Romney and Perry are that in name only.

Cain in there in 2012

Paul's a bit to off balance for me but seems like Cain as least has common sense.

yeah I mean if I had to put money on either of the 3 I mentioned, Cain would definitely be the one. As stupid as America has been lately, I still have faith enough in the american people that they won't be stupid enough to pick Romney or Perry.

Having listened to Herman for the last several years here in Atlanta have to agree that he is the most down to earth and practical of anyone who is running. Don't forget he really is a rocket scientist, math degree and he worked on ballistics for the navy.
