Systematically correcting misinformation - "action alert" list?

[dr g]

One of the best tools we have is the community's efforts to correct misinformation in public forums, especially on news articles that come out touting false or misleading information about vaping. The vape community has been pretty good about this overall but I'm thinking that we should keep an ongoing list, e.g. a thread stickied in this forum, of vaping articles to contribute positive comments to.

With the recent increase in news, we should have a single, perhaps stickied, thread where people can post anti-vape article links as they come up. Hopefully with a clear thread title, such as "Misleading articles ongoing list" we could actually post clickable links for ecf users to easily find articles to comment on. Each post would simply be a link and a quick list of false points in the article to address.

Although many news articles get full threads in this forum, I still see a use for a clearinghouse thread, for quicker and easier action.

Absolutely. We need a bit more organization. There is so much info on this site it can be hard to find things. I went to the Nicotine section to find a list of study links to share and couldn't even find it. I know it's somewhere...frustrating.

Speaking of which:
ABC 13 in Houston will be airing an e-cig piece in one hour. If you have a minute, please leave a comment on their FB page (or anywhere else) if/when they add it later. ABC13 KTRK. It sounds like it will be about 'oh my gerd it's not regulated and teens can buy them'.

One for the positive articles too. I enjoy patronizing the positive sites.
