What do the media say about ecigs in your country?

[Vapez]

In Norway we get a tonne of "ecigs are 1000 times more dangerous than cigs", "ecigs may cause cancer", "ecigs doesn't help people to quit smoking" etc, and sometimes we get a hidden article saying that ecigs aren't that bad or that ecigs is 95% safer than cigs. But it's only the bad articles which blows up in the media and everyones mind...Making everyone hate ecigs as much as cigs..

How is it in your country?

In America, it is everything between very dangerous and positive benefits, with a dash of "let's explore vaping culture, for the fun of it." All the items in quotes (in OP) are what seems to be stated in about 75% of the articles / media. It seems like every mainstream article tends to get some aspect about devices or vaping wrong, as if the author of the piece has zero clue on what modern vaping entails.

All good in the UK, just had reports saying 95% safer than cigarettes and really beneficial for helping people stop smoking. There's even talks on getting them free on the national health service, damn i wish I waited lol

In the US the organizations most vulnerable to spending cuts by state and federal government are medical research, education, and local government. It's not a surprise that they are making the biggest objections to ecigs.

The media in our country is unbiased in Vaping news, luckily they made some positive news because of the U.K. Health study saying the Vaping is 95% safer than cigarettes.

Plus, I love that the Media here is featuring Local Vape Shops in their News! Interviewing the owners about the positive effects of vaping. So yeah, the Philippines is quite Vape Friendly, and there a LOT of vapers here, not a day will go by without you seeing atleast 2 or 3 vapers, and 8 out of 10 malls have vape shops. So I can say that we have a pretty good thing going on here! lol

was just in Manila. Vaping is pretty much awesome and accepted everywhere there. I was under the impression that 10 out of 10 malls have vape shops. Robinsons place has 2, Mall of asia has 2, lol.
Get some good juice out there, Vaping Viscocity white nector now

In Japan, Vaping is producing formaldehyde.
And the part they dont tell you is Japan tobacco is Lining the pockets of everyone who has a say in the matter.
But they cant stop it... Vape shops are popping up. Only 0nic allowed and super pricey here.
We vapers mostly order online, which is allowed under a certain limit. 120mls, But, I always get more and get away with it thus far. Ive ordered a half litre before. been fine.

I think the basic consensus in the US runs along the lines of "We want to support it but big pharma ads pay our bills and the government which relies on tobacco taxes controls our license to operate."

You should try the Viscoscity Pink Deluge and Alien's Blood, those juices are mouth watering!
I think what's happening to japan is because of the high cigarette use there.

Yeah, the media here isn't too honest about that stuff. The nice positive is that most regular people I talk to about it are better informed.... could just be good luck on my end though.

 

[stevegmu]

No idea. I don't watch the news or read US newspapers anymore...

No, I mean I don't know your healthcare there, but in the U.S. the 'medicare' mod would be the 14500 mod with only 2.5+ ohm-tanks that are threaded backwards with no adjustable airflow ...

Needless to say, it wouldn't rival the worse clone lol..

 

[Canadian_Vaper]

This is province wide in Ontario.

January first 2016 its pretty much becoming the same as smoking except (for now) all goes in vape shops...
January first 2017 vape shops won't be allowed to show any devices or list a name of flavors/devices and vaping wont be allowed in vape shops....

Just freaking horrible!!!!

Note: There is pro vaping groups trying to get this changed, seriously I quit smoking and now they want me vape with the tar burners?
