It's not TOTALLY horrible, but it leans a little towards the "this should be regulated" side.
And the comments online are predominantly nonsense so far.
Comments might help educate some of the non-vaping masses...

With e-cigarettes, where vapors rise, so does debate - Business - The Sacramento Bee

I am horrified. This guy was so careful to ask me for proof of everything I said then swallowed Corbett and Glantz whole.

No wonder he's usually assigned to cover children's parades and club openings.

Please comment. (I apologize for him saying I testified at the Judiciary hearing. I was in Europe at the time. I just told him to watch the video.)

No one's going to think you didn't "represent" well - it's a danged newspaper story, they write half of it, then look for quotes that will fit.
And this one was very light, some holiday fluff that'll probably bring the Sacto vape shops some business

Wow... That didn't cast a very good light on e-Cigarettes or the people who use them.

Did you notice how many Slang terms were used in the article?

There are so many comments to this article that have a definitive partisan position. That's usually fun to watch, but I don't like to see it overtake the conversation on e-cigs.

When you comment on the article, please try to refrain from attacking (and thereby alienating) the Democratic party, even when addressing a left-wing zealot. The facts and the new studies are on our side, so use them to our advantage and try to educate the masses.

It's tempting to say "Characterize and charicature Corbett all you want, per this Democrat" but I'm finding out that will not fly with anybody outside the vaping community. It alienates other legislators and their staffers (of either party, if overdone.)

Sigh. I can wish though. Like for someone to get a case of severe laryngitis on the day of the committee meeting.

I live in Sac, and am less than thrilled with the Bee.

Any careful reader can see the bias in this article. Unfortunately, few voters are careful readers.

I'm with you on that one, and taking down any particular elected official of any party is fair game when they deserve it (like Corbett). I just hate it when it becomes a partisan yelling match and the real conversation (and potential to educate some people on e-cigs) gets lost in the bickering.

Most objective readers of this article will realize that the claims by Sen. Corbett and Stan Glantz are false and alarmist (if they read the entire article).

If they read just the first part of the article, however, some may be duped by Corbett's claims.
