The whole e-cig ban thing...help me understand

[cloudkat]

"I agree the people who have NOT heard of E-cigs will be on the outside UNTIL they are banned and become illegal then everyone will know about them."

I disagree. Given the fact that the major news media have virtually ignored the e-cigarette legislation fights in the various states, can we really expect a total ban will receive widespread media attention? I doubt it. The same argument was recently made regarding young people going after e-cigs if they suddenly become banned.
Both conclusions seem unlikely. If they become banned or illegal everyone WILL NOT know about them. Plus, young people will continue to not care about these "gadgets". Easier to go buy a pack.
We've repeatedly introduced e-cigs to smokers who express an initial interest and curiosity, and some even pick up a 510 disposable kit from us and "kinda like it". But very few continue their interest once the disposables are disposed of.
Sadly, banning them will not create an uproar from anyone but us.

I kind of agree with you cliff. But this is also something where I can see both points of view. It actually may bring the e-cigs more into the "lime-light" so to speak. But on the other hand, like you are pointing out, e-cigs are not "mainstream" enough to really get a world-wide coverage if it becomes banned.
