Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful work, Storyspinr. A tremendously positive piece. You simply nailed it. 
The reporter had never seen nor heard of e-cigarettes before he received the CASAA Press Release. We still have a long way to go in educating the public. The general public is mostly very positive and excited about the possibilities of this product. It only seems to be the tobacco control community who sees nothing but negatives. The "health professionals" are so concerned about protecting us against "addiction" that they are willing to watch us die of lung disease, heart diease or cancer. I guess you could say that they are killing us with kindness.
The reporter told me in their morning news meeting, when he brought up the subject of the e cig, another person (apparently a smoker) asked if he was referring to the "fire safe" cigarettes. No one in the news room knew what he was talking about.
I hear the taste of the firesafe paper in the cigarettes today is horrible. Worse even than tobacco smoke. Some people actually convert from smoking just because the paper tastes so bad.
You did a great job!
What a positive video!

Excellent work! I love the fact that this piece deals only with the topic at hand - indoor smoking - and that logic prevailed in the outcome. Storyspinr, you can be proud of it!
Perfect example of how ONE voice CAN make a difference!!
Now, everyone else needs to go sign the petitions and send out your letters!!
(Awesome job, Storyspinr and thank you for all of your hard work on this!!)

Did he happen to want to learn any more about them? It'd be so great to get more positive coverage!
Is that lady a member of our forum?? If not, she should join!! Great video.
It's a little ironic that they finished it saying that individual restaraunts still have the right to ban them if they choose, since they don't have the option of allowing smoking if they want to. I don't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good, but I would think that if the AG says it's allowed,,, that the law would be uniform, or that exceptions could be made for individual establishments that wanted to welcome smokers. With all the stuff we've been fighting though,,, this does seem like a victory for us!

Yes, she is a member - her username is Storyspinr - and she has a few threads about this on ECF - faninating to go back and read the process!
Great,,, I'll check that out. Thanks Storyspinr for your efforts!!!
Edit,,, oops,,, i should have known that from the thread,,, doh!!
Thanks Storyspinr!!
Those FS cigs are worse than the regular old style cigs. They tasted worse and they cause issues with some people.

Good job Storyspinr!!! Great video. Only thing is this: "Owners who want to ban e-cigs in their resteraunt can still do so." That was dropped right in there by the reporter. So, before I am even waited on, I still have to ask. If they say no, then I just leave.
Outstanding report! Probably the best I've seen.
Can we forward this to New York?
Thanks Storyspinr !
