The Gazette: E-cigarettes benefit by helping smokers quit

"The time is now for public health advocates to begin informing smokers that e-cigarettes are a smarter alternative to smoking that can help them quit."

Opponents of e-cigarettes often accuse the industry of marketing to children because of the availability of flavors. Two surveys of thousands of adult e-cigarette users, the vast majority of whom were ex-smokers, have been released in the past year that discussed flavor choice. Both surveys found that fruit flavors were the most popular. The most recent study demonstrated that approximately two-thirds of the respondents were primarily using a flavor that was neither tobacco nor menthol. Clearly, just as there is an adult market for flavored vodka and schnapps, there is also an adult market for flavored e-cigarettes.

(hehe )

Good read, that guy totally gets it!

The reality of this:

"Wall Street tobacco analysts credit vapor products with faster than expected declines in cigarette sales. International population-level surveys are showing that adult smokers are not only using e-cigarettes to quit, but are finding more success with e-cigarettes than they are with traditional products like gum or patches."

.... is what, if anything, will doom attempts to ban or heavily regulate. And if not, it ensures a black market.

Thats great...............this type of sensible commentary has started to appear more regularly over the past couple of weeks, lets hope it starts to snowball.

I should hope he "gets it". Greg was very active with CASAA before he went full time elsewhere (I think with the Heartland Institute).

Oh, Anja - it wasn't meant to be critical at all. I recognized that you may not have been around when Greg was "on the scene". I love how passionate you are! I'm also happy for Greg to be able to go to work each day fighting for what he believes in.
