The Examiner recently reviewed the Electronic cigarette and ended up giving the product their stamp of approval. (See Smokeless Smoking Without Most of the Health Risks for the full article).
Like us he has noticed the forces arrayed against the Electronic Cigarette, in particular:
the fanatic anti-smokers who will attack any options and believe that smokers should either quit cold turkey or just go die (Literally… quite a scary crowd), the government desire for tobacco tax income, and the tobacco industry’s potential opposition to devices that people actually like that will potentially reduce their revenue.
One thing that suprised us was that the reporter, Kit Parenteau, found it difficult to get hold of the electronic cigarette.
When we contacted him he told us that this was not something he had exaggerated, and that he had had problems both getting hold of information and of electronic cigarette kits.
Seems that a lot of folks were willing to try to chase me away when I was expressing intent to make an article, then there are a number of folks crying foul that I didn’t include certain aspects.
At least some of this hostility seems to have been caused by fear – some from retailers but also some from consumers…
You’ve got the “fans”, so to speak, who are trying to protect something very important to them and may overreact if there is any inkling of an attack against it.
Despite these drawbacks, the electronic cigarette kits he was eventually send got his full seal of approval – and that of his colleagues!
A number of my associates have already bought their own because of the testing. The lack of cigarette smell and sudden lack of piles of butts outside has been a great boon. They can say that they are breathing easier and every single one of them is much happier and already most of them have a savings. The general benefits in health and happiness of both the users and people around them outweigh the confusion and any downsides.
