Introductory note: This is a controversial interview. I thought hard before publishing comments about e-cig industry groups, not wanting to make enemies, but a form of censorship in an interview I had requested would be unfair.

Vaping Doctor Doctor’s use the Smoker’s HALO too. This good doctor sent us this image with the message: “NO CIGARETTES FOR 3 MONTHS! DOESN’T EVEN [...]
