Today, think about leaving the forum for a bit and start posting comments on every article that you find regarding the electronic cigarette and how it is so harmful.
Craft your own little statement and comment away.
If you need help debunking this mythical study: Please visit Dr. Siegel's blog blogspot.com and also Illustrated has started an excellent thread here at ECF http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-regarding-fda-press-release-7-22-repost.html. Also, the ECA has posted their response as well at Response To The FDA | Electronic Cigarette Association.
You can certainly reference all of those URL's if you would like and if the particular article you are at does not allow URL's, remove the http:// and in the forum and ECA's case, remove the www. as well. This will allow you to at least provide them with the information to follow for "the other side"
Think about it... if everyone commits to posting on just 5 articles each, what that could do?!? That's a lot of comments.
EDIT: Another thing one could do: We all know there are a multitude of very experienced folks on this forum who are creative in one way or another. Whether you are a writer, an artist, a musician, a comedian, whatever. Create something viral... as Tanner has pointed out with this fine video:

When you are done, let us all know so that we can digg it, link to it, email it, twitter it, blog about it...
Edit #2: Another thing that I would suggest... some have noted that due to this release by the FDA, people are coming up to them on the streets regurgitating what they have been told by the media. As this is a long and painful discussion to have, be prepared with some slips of paper leading to some of the links as noted above. Simply note on your paper that there is another side to the story and educating oneself is key to moving forward a country that focuses on tobacco harm reduction instead of the "quit or die" mentality, which simply does not work.
