Can't wait for this to come out, it's sickening all the misinformation and lies spread about. How people gobble them up and believe them without even attempting to question it. It's angering... sitting here, watching those people spread these lies and how I can instantly tell that every single word that they utter is completely false and from a corporation, and that they themselves know it. They know it, and yet they spread it, spread it everywhere and all for money.. but yet all these other people watch the same thing and realize nothing, they watch it with eyes and listen with their ears and yet it all gets absorbed as truth without a second thought. No simple few second google search and a bit of reading 
I truly hope that this sheds light on the problem we are faced with, and causes a major movement in which can save what we all do and love, save countless people and open many eyes... but lies spread like wildfire and I believe with big pharma and big tobacco as the antagonists of all this, this is an unwinnable fight. The truth will come out, it will be realized, cigarettes will go away... but in our time? Who knows. The general population isn't ready for their eyes to open, for their worst fears to be realized. They want to hold onto the lies and feel comfortable in them, as ignorance is bliss and anything else is responsibility or they don't care.

The real winners here are the usual suspects. Pharmaceutical companies benefit because their threatened monopoly on smoking cessation products (patches, gums, inhalers) is protected. Despite the involvement of major tobacco companies in the e-cigarette market, they are winners here too. They are the only ones that will be able to afford to stay in the game once the legislation is in place, effectively locking out the innovative smaller businesses that have driven the e-cigarette market up until this point. The TPD is also is surprisingly lenient on the ‘cig-a-like’ style of e-cigarette favoured by the big tobacco companies. Given that the TPD has been one of the most intensely lobbied pieces of legislation in the EU’s history, perhaps such an outcome was to be expected.
EU tax collectors will also be able to rest easy as the worrying drop in cigarette taxes will be reversed.
Underlying the TPD is the (blatantly incorrect) idea that e-cigarettes are tobacco products and should be regulated at least as strictly as cigarettes. In fact, e-cigarettes are only superficially similar to cigarettes; the only ingredient that they share is nicotine. And there is precedent for nicotine products getting preferential treatment under EU law: nicotine inhalers (in many ways a closer cousin to e-cigarettes than cigarettes) are taxed at only 5%.
Even more galling for vape shop owners is the fact that the TPD is at odds with the attitudes of the British government and the British people. The NHS is on the brink of prescribing e-cigarettes to patients. Public Health England found in the most comprehensive review of the literature to date that vaping is likely 95% less harmful than smoking, UK charities such as Cancer Research UK and Action on Smoking Health have come out in support of using e-cigarettes as a quit smoking tool, and stop smoking services have designed an enlightening and empathetic guide to using e-cigarettes.

I don't believe it's going to have the effect vapers are hoping for. The public will see as a propaganda film and nothing more..It's been engrained in society that anything tobacco related is evil and dirty.
It doesn't have to convince everyone, but ANYONE convinced is a win/step in the right direction
I really thought the FDA regs would hit before the film was done. I hope it has some positive impact.
It's bound to have positive impact!
