CNN bashes e-Cigs

[kblessinggr]

Well not CNN themselves, but the study they report on.

Study: 'Electronic cigarettes' don't deliver - CNN.com

Ten puffs from either of these electronic cigarettes with a 16 mg nicotine cartridge delivered little to no nicotine," the study found.

But the units may deliver hazardous chemicals, according to preliminary checks by federal regulators. In a notice to importers, the FDA blocked continued shipments after finding diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans.

Sales of the devices continue at shopping mall kiosks and small storefront retailers, apparently drawing from stock imported before the FDA began to block shipments from overseas suppliers.

I guess "As Seen on CNN" still applies.

I am willing to bet my left nut that the main funding if this program is somehow linked to tobacco companies...

Think about it like this

"ARE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES A SCAM?" type shit. Dirrrtttyyyy.

There are billions of dollars at stake here for those against e-cigs; both for tobacco company profits and government tax revenue.

Speaking of e-cigs, I'm surprised there are not more free trial offers around. You'd think it would be perfect for it. Sending new cartridges every month is the ultimate continuity opportunity.
