There's so many things wrong with this guy's arguments. And unfortunately, this is what the population is highly affected by. Many people see something like this on CNN and walk away from it believing it to be truth. My response to his claim about kids who start using e cigs (and not analogs)....isn't that a good thing?!? The same kids would otherwise be smoking cigarettes.

What a pure, nonsensical puff piece. No real journalism, but lots of fear mongering, bad science, and speculation, and falling back on the tired and worn out "it's for the KIDS".

How many kids have tried ecigs...and never tried it again? How many have tried alcohol, from their parents liquor cabinet, or fridge? How many have tried pills from the medicine cabinet? Or tried other things we don't talk about here?

More laptop batteries have exploded - have we banned them to keep them away from kids? No, the industry fixed the issue.

When they haul out the "for the kids" defense, you know they're pulling a fast one on you, they have no real argument, and there's an agenda..somewhere.

Like who pays to advertise on CNN...like, oh, I don't know...BIG PHARMA?

yeah... But the scary thing is a lot of people will believe it. Just like they always swallow what the news tells them.
After all, by necessity half of all people are below average intelligence

But we have to save the children. :facepalm: Anyone on here, if your kids were going to start using one or the other, which would you rather it be, cigarettes or a PV? It's a no brainer. Cigarettes, proven to cause health issues, or vaporizers, so far, proven to be infinitely safer. We need to start publicly calling these idiots on their overly regurgitated propaganda. The world has the right to know the truth.
