Seems like there is a big push lately

I have enough in the freezer to maintain my current usage until I'm nearly 80. I'm gonna add another liter just in case I take after my dad's side for longevity. If it degrades in strength over time then I guess I'll just drop my nic lvl as my stash does :)

The only other thing I might stock up on is positive contacts for my fancy flashlight boxes.

You all need to move to north dakota.
Come visit in the summer, sure. Move there year-round? Not in this lifetime, thanks! :D

We just slapped down our vape ban legislation and even got ecigs forever classified as a non tobacco product. We booted the ANTZ outa our state for good this time[emoji1]
I wouldn't be so sure. Just like real ants, they'll come back eventually. :glare:

I'm seeing Blu e-Cigs commercials all the time on the channel "IFC". , and seen it again on the NHL Network channel. They have new batteries that last longer now. "550 Puffs". Oooooookay!

I'd love to see something worth seeing.... like a Reo Grand commercial. :)

That would be cool...but could you imagine the commercial for the Infected Mod?! With the Walking Dead such a hit, they'd make a fortune. Now if Rob would make an "Infected REO" with commercial, THAT would be cool! :vapor::toast:

I've never seen those commercials before, but who cares. I'm gonna do what I wanna do, if I choose to smoke then no ones gonna tell me I can't. If I wanna vape because it helped me quit smoking, then I'm gonna vape. It's my choice and I don't care if you think it's harmful or not, I'll be the judge of that. People need to mind their own business and stop judging based on he said or she said.

You know Daryl from walking dead vapes in real life! I call him "the vaping dead" he got major brownie points from me for being a vaper. Although we should point him toward bottom feeding. He uses what looks like an Evod..

So... let's apply the Logic of the Masochist Left (a contradiction in terms) to others aspects of Life:

We should kill off all of the Gigolos and Prostitutes, because they are having more sex than we are.
We should close all of the Amusement Parks, because they are having more fun than we are.
We should Govern all motorized vehicles at 15 mph, anything faster than that is too fast.
We should confiscate funding from those who work to pay the Mortgage to pay for Housing for those who won't or can't.
We should criminalize tobacco and legalize ..........
We should confiscate the Entire Automobile Industry, because your car is better than mine.
We should confiscate the Entire Health Care Industry, because you benefits are better then mine.
We should make the Religious Practice of Marriage despised, and be sympathetic towards Homosexuality.
And We should all be Grateful that we can openly pursue these Liberties in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

And I need another cup of coffee...... thCAJ0ABR4.jpg

Millions LOVE The Walking Dead (including myself), and to see a commercial of a Walker with a Reo Grand would literally catapult the notoriety of Reo's into outer space. Would be awesome to have a T-Shirt of that as well. Rob would have to hire us all on this forum to help with millions of newly infected customers. :D

Can't wait to see the 90min season finale tonight.

The ones I have notice lately are as tough and graphic as the anti smoking adds. Depicting teenagers vaping behind their schools and parents setting down their PVs on a coffee table with a toddler reaching for it when they are not around. Shameful....

Yeah, this is California only that's why a lot of people haven't seen it.
Every time it airs, I want to throw something through my TV.

The worst of the anti vaping propaganda has to be the TV ads from the California Department of Public Health

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaMgWUBPeHY&feature=youtu.be

What I find most interesting in the campaign ads I've seen so far is "NOBODY" has said anything about the producers and directors of these ads that actually put the devices in the hands and within hands reach of children just to make a video... It disgusts me that they can do this and it is alright... Someone should do something about that!!!

Interestingly enough, the ad makers are trying to be relevant to youth by posting these through digital media outlets and are getting absolutely slammed for it. Ripped on YT, Reddit, etc - plenty of criticism, no support. Read some of the comments to see the backlash.

The propaganda game has new rules in the social media age and if I had to think of one archetype that doesn't fly in that arena, it's the scolding nanny.

The theme of "here we go again" is also a fail, IMHO, from two standpoints:

1. Those of us old enough to have lived through the "great denouncement" of smoking, circa 1985, know that vaping is intrinsically different. We have, apparently, more knowledge than the makers of the ads. That undermines their position.

2. Youth today have never lived in a normalized smoking world. "Here we go again" sounds like something their granddads would say - the same granddads that think smartphones are dumb and haven't heard of snapchat or slack.

Sooo... they can't appeal to us on logic and they can't convert the kids through advice. They can, however, move to legislate it, and this campaign is mostly to control the backlash.

Papa you're not supposed to tell them how dumb they sound. ;)

Seriously this is why I cut my cable cord a long time ago. I still endure advertising of course, but at least now my enjoyment of the walking dead isn't ruined with someone trying to tell me how they feel and how I should feel about how they feel. For pete's sake let people enjoy their ultra violent zombie entertainment in peace.
