NBC News: E-cigarettes: Are They Safe?

E-Cigarettes are fast becoming many smokers' 
alternative to actually smoking. But, as Dr. Ling 
says in the below NBC report, the marketing of these 
products are way out ahead of the science, especially 
since Big Tobacco is heavily buying into the 
electronic cigarette revolution. It's also a bit creepy 
that so many candy like flavors are available; as this
will appeal to adolescents who want to act grown up.
Not unlike candy cigarettes and bubble gum cigars 
of the 50's and 60's.

Romancing The Smoke does not advocate e-cigarettes
and "vaping" as an alternative to smoking. We feel that
it simply keeps the habit in place through identical 
action. Quitting is quitting. The only alternative to 
not smoking is NOT SMOKING.

Kate Snows' recent report on E-Cigarettes
NBC News: E-Cigarettes- Are They Safe?

The article references a Texas e-cigarette manufacturer 
and mentions that he lost his mother to lung cancer- 
suggesting he's doing this for the benefit of smokers?
I buried six family members who died from smoking 
related illnesses. Nothing about this makes me want 
to come up with another product that mimics smoking.
