SIAP: New York Times E-cig article (the good kind!)

[toddrhodes]

SIAP = Sorry if already posted, for anyone who didn't know that already. Anyway, this article is very refreshing and we need to circulate it as much as we can:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/07/opinion/two-cheers-for-e-cigarettes.html?_r=1&

A couple of the comments made me facepalm, but that's ok. The actual article is pretty good IMO.

Best,

Very good article! I really liked the one comment by the woman who's son had passed away. She stated that if he had used the ecig, he might have had a better chance of living. He had passed at the age of 36 of a stroke. She and her husband were non smokers. I was sad for her story yet happy that there are people out there that aren't vapers but use their brain.

Yea, that comment hurt to read, terrible to have to bury a child regardless of the circumstances

This is likely the best article I've read so far and hopefully there will be many more like it to come.

If it walks like a Duck huh?

I'd like to see just one of those critics try lighting the end of an e-cig.

Lets see them flip ashes from one or maybe put it out in an ash tray.

Sorry people that offer only self righteousness just aggravate me to no end.

Elected officials should be held to a higher standard in our society. If that is the logic of someone who sits in an elected seat, they should be ousted. What a bunch of nonsense that guy is made up of. Ugh.

Another good one about the NY proposed ban:

NYC Health Commissioner Says E-Cigarettes Must Be Banned Because They Look Like The Real Thing - Forbes

When places like Forbes and the NYT are picking this stuff up and running with it, I have to feel good about it.

I can't get to the article, but it's nice to know that there are articles out there putting vaping in a good light.

Not just painting us in a good light, but painting the opposition (politicians) as fools with a complete lack of respect and understanding for the science of vaping.
