I'm watching. This is a good one. I have a coworker who smokes and trying to switch. His ex wife died recently from cancer and his kids are on his case to quit. He's tried before. He's really feeling the pressure this time around. There's another smoker in the building who finally talked to me about switching. I'm the vape guru to the top dog in this big place. He's going to be a tough nut to crack. A few months ago I took him to the parking lot and smoked one of his cigs to prove I'm relapse proof. BTW it tasted awful and I could smell it on my clothing for several hours after. I think that's going to be my last demonstration.

So I watched it all the way through. I think brilliantly done and stayed on a positive message all the way through. May be the testimonials of the vapers was the best part. We all know but it's nice to see it on display in the mainstream.

That was outstanding.

A few quibbles, of course.
Mostly I have a problem with the nicotine=highly addictive garbage.

But other than that...
