The CDC Report on E-cig Advertising

[Douggro]

I saw this story on Google News earlier in the week and am surprised no one here picked up on it and a raging debate ensued:

Health Agency Takes on Advertising for Electronic Cigarettes
which is tied to the CDC press release from their Vital Signs publication:
E-cigarette Ads and Youth

I really appreciate how vaping is getting thrown under the regulatory bus (again) based on the advertising of BT-backed cigalike products like Vuse and Blu.

I believe NJoy is not backed by Big Tobacco.

In fact, if memory serves me right, we have NJoy to thank for applying for the higher court order to stop the original FDA ban on e-cigarettes a few years ago. They are on OUR side.

Whether or not NJoy is ON OUR SIDE is open for debate.
For the most part they are clearly far more on our side than on any other side.

But they have a chance to position themselves in a unique way.
And that unique way may, or may not, be as on our side as we might like.

Having said that, NJoy is one of the good ones if history tells us anything.
And they claim that they REFUSE to bought out by Big Tobacco.

Money can change things though.
The question might come down to just exactly how greedy they are.

At this point it's sort of a matter of trust.
And I tend to trust them so far.

Not all bad news look at what I found today:
In the UK, doctors can now prescribe e-cigarettes to help you quit smoking

 

[crxess]

e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which causes addiction,

Propaganda, no?
Hasn't Science pretty well laid out Nicotine without Tobacco Smoke is not AS or Addictive?

Aren't they fudging just a bit by leaving out 1/2 the information, AGAIN?

e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which causes addiction IN CIGARETTES

Not just Tobacco, but Specifically TOBACCO - As High End Cigar Smokers are not Considered Addicted to Nicotine?

If Nicotine Was so addictive would we not be Boosting our addiction as we have the Convenience to do so with e-liquids? Instead, many quickly reduce their nicotine intake and some completely stop using nicotine within months of switching.

Guberment.........................................

In 2014, a total of 24.6% of high school students reported current use of a tobacco product

Maybe a few are thinking Smarter..........Oh, that's right - TAX MONEY
