VOTE NOW! Wall Street Journal Poll: Should e-cigarettes be regulated as drug-delivery devices by the FDA?

[Villager]

Elevating this to a broader audience: So far, 75% voted NO (this is a good thing)!
****UPDATE*****
It looks like this "Question of the Day" was started 3 days ago and bumps to the top of the list every time someone leaves a comment - voting goes on FOREVER. So, people on ECF can vote NO whenever they discover the link, and grow the # of NO votes (2140 now), but voting is not enough it is the COMMENTS that keep the issue prominent (only 8 comments!).

I think this is a major platform to showcase public opinion on our side of this issue. STICKY anyone?

This is the main WSJ Question of the Day page: Wall Street Journal: Question of the Day Topics
Right now the e-cig Q is lagging behind a Sarah Palin Q and the economic recovery Q - those 2 Questions have a combined 88 comments. But remember, it is not the # of votes or the # of comments but the most recent comment that keeps the E-cig Q "thread" alive -- hey, just like here in this forum! If even one ECF person voted & COMMENTED each day, that thread would be bumped to the top for a good long while.

NO votes are at 75.7 now, but even if that goes to 90%, MOST PEOPLE on that site WILL NEVER SEE IT unless there are the comments to keep it a "hot" thread. The *new* threads get clicked on the most, JUST LIKE HERE.

Thank you. Is there a way you can elevate this to a broader audience? I think it is very important to get the word out ASAP.

I voted. Good for Wall - Street Journal. A big newspaper is a great way to get a positive word out. Unless they are bashing e-cigarettes, of course.

 

[Villager]

Good! Me too. I haven't read the linked articles yet but I think someone mentioned that it was even-handed.

Everyone please see the update in post #1 -- COMMENTING, turns out, is KEY on the WSJ site, for reals.
