Nice, insightful article. Hopefully it gets read by a decent number of non-PV users, though. Otherwise, for the audience that reads it by following your link, (or links from other e-cig sites), the info in the column is really just preaching to the choir.
I'll definitely be passing the link along to a few cigarette-smoking and non-smoking friends. Thanks!

Big tobacco can't stop a tsunami. The cat's out of the bag. PG and VG are widely available and will never be banned. Nicotine is simple to extract and growing tobacco is legal in all 50 states. batteries will always be available and as long as they don't ban nichrome wire, this is unstoppable!
I find it beyond comprehension that my government is perfectly willing to kill for $2 a pack. Anyone else ...... off about this?

Hi all, Thanks for passing the article along. I am a firm believer in information being power.
n2xe, I've had a epiphany recently in regards to what the government and big business is capable of doing. "...... off" doesn't begin to describe how I feel towards them both. - I'm sure that line is going to flag me to some big brother somewhere - no worries mate, not a terrorist in the making, just an angry citizen of the USA.
I found another article while searching for (of all things) potential wicking material. Skincare facts,hemp product facts,benefits of soy wax,facts about candles,Fair Trade products,Green Organic products
If there is a way to reclassify e-cigarettes (start with changing the name) to reclassify them to fall under the jurisdiction of the Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA) - the FDA couldn't touch us.

much better article than most, glad they did their research...
even though there might be some churn about vaping because of the tobacco companies, it cannot be stopped. we will always be able to buy pharma grade nicotine, VG, and some flavoring and a double AA battery box from radio shack
i'm very surprised that the big tobacco companies are fighting this... you would think they would be dump a ton of money into their own version of the product (not what they have produced in the past) and frankly blow away the tech we currently have. until/if it gets taxed, their profit margin would be huge...

Very nice but it is written by a smoker/ex-smoker. It is natural for the article to have a more vaping-friendly tone. It would be nice to see a similar, and in my opinion, more pragmatic approach to the issue from non-smokers as well. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
As far as addictions go, it could be easily argued that "credit" is addictive and it can have a tremendously negative impact not only on those who engaged in the frivolous spending but on their families and those that lived within their means too. So, if a neighborhood has 50 houses and 10 are in foreclosure, this raises the HOA fees for the rest, reduces property values dramatically, creates the danger of squatting and usually those properties become an eyesore. 2nd hand credit concerns?

You are assuming they are not OR this is what some would have you believe. Big tobacco is DEFINITELY looking into this.
A 3 second search yields this:

wow, didn't know that but i guess im not surprised... over a year old story, but im sure somethings still going on. i think the major benefit to the big dogs getting in the game is placating the govt and fda. of course they will probably find some nasty way to kill all competition, but we can take that as it comes...
