Years ago (2 or 3, maybe 4), a Hollywood Producer (or Director?) intrigued by the eCig, asked us (in a little forum I called home) if we'd like Hollywood to introduce vaping, replace smoking in films. We, of course, happily consented.
I don't know if he/she ever posted again, but slowly but surely, vaping was indeed seen here and there, in tv and theater. The Tourist was a huge break through, because Mr. Depp explained the concept as well as showed that it is dorky, not cool, to vape, but even so it is much less dangerous and doesn't yellow your teeth.
Good guys, bad guys, psychos all are spotted today here and there.
No petition is needed... They already know, and they are, IMO, doing an excellent job of not pegging them with one type of character only. Just like smoking, there was no one type to describe the smoker. Priests, nurses, doctors, mothers, fathers, bikers, prisoners, rich, poor, green, orange, were all portrayed and that's how eCigs are too so far.
With that said, the skits are fun, go for it!
