The great vaping debate

[Marc411]

"It’s hysteria for the most part, the kind of moral panic liberals love to stoke to justify a crackdown which invariably places government regulators — the ultimate kill-joys — in control of national policy.

There are a lot of misconceptions about vaping and nicotine. In many vaping devices, it can fluctuate, from low to high. But many and perhaps most vaping liquids contain no nicotine at all. Especially for first-time smokers, imbibing nicotine is not vaping’s primary appeal. These consumers are akin to those who once favored clove cigarettes over traditional cigarettes. They’re looking from the outset for an alternative to tobacco, less harsh in taste and less damaging to the lungs."

Margarita night, I'll read it tomorrow.

I will try to wade through the Washington post's purple prose at some point.

LOL, one thing I noticed about the PICTURE though, the "smoke" in the pic leans right, while the "vape" on the other side leans left.

LOL, subtle foes these journalists. Or media advisors or whatever. Probably they just wanted the picture to look centrist.

There are a few inaccuracies in this article like "Billed as a safer and cleaner alternative to tobacco, vaping features an odorless and colorless liquid...", but it actually takes a pro-vaping stance. As far as articles in the mainstream media go, this one ain't bad.

Yeah, the "odorless" part is kinda funny. Couple weeks after I switched from smoking to vaping, one of my employees wandered into my office, in which I used to smoke. He commented, "It smells like a candy store in here!"
