USA Today Letter to the Editor

[halfevildruid]

Vocalek has had a letter published in USA Today. Great letter Elaine!

Letters: 'Vaping' is safer than smoking - Opinion - USATODAY.com

 

[KickASH]

Woohoo!

Good job and well written Vocal!

 

[General Idea]

The media has to ask the right questions to come close to the right answers.

I hope lots of people read that USA Today piece. Kudos and credit where it's due...

The question your editorial board should be asking is not, "Is it safe to 'vape' ?" You should be asking, "Is it safer to continue smoking tobacco cigarettes?"

Very well worded!!!

 

[Vocalek]

I just Googled "vaping safer" and my leter is coming out in the top 3 spots, as well as #5, #7 and #8. Partway down the page I ran across this. The ideas are good, but it reads as though it has been translated from another language into English.

Vaping Is A Good Way To Give Up Smoking No Matter What The Critics Say

The author has several articles cited on this page:

Just bought three copies - one to frame here in the Honeycomb Hideout known as CASAA HQ!

Elaine fires the first shot for CASAA!

I wondered what the "Buzz Up" button at the top was all about, so I clicked it. If you have a Yahoo login, it counts as a vote for the story. You can even leave a comment.

I buzzed it up but didn't leave a comment. I'll keep an eye on it and perhaps chime in when circumstances call for it.

Good job Vocalek! Imagine if more of these type of letters and articles made the print like this?

It just shows that while we have little funding, we can make a difference. Even small ones.

What kills me is how these reporters seem to just cut and past from the FDA and ASH with out taking 5 extra minutes to research the info..... I guess Freedom of Speech is only Free if you report the way your paid to.....

Amen, and good point, Political Correctness should be outlawed. It's stupid, it's prone to only support and defend those who go around stepping on other's rights anyway. I'm for transparency and full disclosure. Nothing less.
Media seems to be invoking the right to be slanted and misleading to the benefit of only one side of two or more choices, which only contributes to divisiveness and contention these days; I'm sick of it. Merry Christmas, every one!
