Stumbled on this article on accident. It's quite amusing.

I wonder if tobaccoFreeKids. ... org had a contest or something.

Ridiculous.

Now I know what I forgot to put in my diy, formaldehyde! That's it. [....]

And mercury! OMG, all this time I could've been vaping my old thermometer!

 

[AgentAnia]

I think that's the worst one yet,,,,,,,

they are white cylindrical devices with a yellow cartomizer?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

And in the picture the carto is white! (I think they were smoking [something else] when they put this article together!)

It makes me think they had a take your kid to work day and then turned them loose.

"The withdrawal symptoms of nicotine usually occur two to three hours after using nicotine. Symptoms include decreased appetite, mood changes, increased abdominal issues, saliva and mucous overproduction, rapid heart rate and increased blood pressure. Other symptoms include the possibility of sweating, ........ and nausea.

A number of other withdrawal symptoms occur two to three days after one quits using nicotine. These include an increased need for nicotine, tiredness, difficulty sleeping, anxiousness, headaches, decreased attention span, increases in appetite and weight gain."

So according to them withdrawal has both decreased and increased appetite..... how in the????.....ummm... really?

Actually, shouldn't that read "withdrawal from tobacco smoke"? (Since AFAIK only withdrawal from ecigs or patch/gum/lozenge would give a true reading of withdrawal from nicotine, and no one has studied that, again AFAIK...)

It makes me think they had a take your kid to work day and then turned them loose.

...and then didn't bother to read what the little darlings had written before they went to press!

(I have to say, though, dismaying as it is to realize that some people may believe that drivel, the article did provide me with several rib-bruising belly laughs!)

I almost feel sorry for that poor author/student. Given her educational level, the quality of the article says more about the quality (lack thereof) of her faculty advisors... Either the author is a natural-born little antz, or she's being taught by full-blown antz. :sigh:

 

[Spazmelda]

Well aside from the poor journalism, the article is horribly written. It's jumbled and confused, with non sequiturs and random information thrown here and there. If you are going to lie and make up facts, at least frame them in a comprehensible manner.

 

[Petrodus]

"Fair and Balanced" is a definitional phrase
and this country is obsessed with being Politically Correct.

If TV news or articles about e-cigarettes doesn't include fear mongering lies ...
those opposed to e-cigarettes are offended and cry it's NOT "fair and balanced"

 

[tommy2bad]

And as long as they include the lines 'some say that ecigs may be safer' they can claim fair and balanced even if the other 2000 words are a pack of lies and misinformation.

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

The problem is all "news" is now reported as opinion requiring them to say they are fair and balanced. News is supposed to be factual and has no fair and balanced add on.

 

[Petrodus]

Factual news without fair and balance slanted "add-ons" ... days are over
and this kind of crap is now the "new norm". The world today is "addicted"
to social media news and reporting.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. And the real source of the problem is that the consumers of these news programs / networks eat it up. Mass media is absolutely one of the free-market industries where the people still have the ultimate power to make immediate change, if so inclined.
