If you do several davelockin, each with a different part of the message I think folk will pay more attention to new ones as they come along.

A mini series rather than an epic movie?

How about this for a future one?



If governments say it's legal to die slowly from
SMOKING
Then why the hurry to legislate against Vaping?



Trying to keep to the 'question around a statement' format is hard but worth it I think for continuity.

Yeah I think the question around a statement format is good because it feels less like we're telling people what to think and more like we're asking them to think for themselves. I also love that future statement suggestion.

davelockin, I had something like this in mind

I'm liking this - short and to the point. I also like the question, rather than a bland statement; it does encourage readers to stop and consider what you are asking them.
Do you have any ideas what to put in the centre? Could I suggest that you put something like a CE4 clearo and small eGo battery, rather than a cig-a-like? People are beginning to recognise this setup now, and it would advance recognition a bit more too. Maybe crossed with a cig-a-like so that it is evident that we are not referring just to the 'plastic fag' thing?
Sory, thinking as I type here, but hopefully you get my drift

I'm not sure you particularly want to introduce pics of ecigs at this stage.

I like the idea of a series of pictures / text, as it promotes the idea of peoples natural curiosity to want to see more.  But introducing the "punchline" too quick will "spoil" the game.  TV series always end on a cliffhanger for that reason.  Firing a pic of an ego / ce4 straight away detracts from this.  Whereas the hashtag inspires the reader to investigate more.  By all means, introduce the pics at a later stage, but at this stage, for this pic, maybe a massive $ or £ sign would be more appropriate.  And if you keep the pics to "conspiritorial" / "greed" themes initially, it will inspire more interest, IMO.

I like the idea, and agree the original picture is too much information in one go.  People generally are to lazy to read all that, but proposing challenging questions in one or two lines, they will read, and hopefully get behind the message.

Hmm, that occurred to me too GunJack - perhaps a small website hosted by googlesites maybe, with enough information and links to answer people's immediate questions, but not too overpowering.
I know this information is already out there in a bewildering array of places, but a 'one stop shop' with all the info in one place might be good. No bias, no links to vendors, completely independent, with perhaps the address freedomtovape.com - just an idea!
I would offer to set something up, but I go back to school on Monday, and the brown stuff is about to hit the whirly thing and I don't want to promise something which I can't deliver.

If its of any help I have spare webspace, and the capability to make up sites, normally Joomla as its an excellent content management system thats GNU licensed (free to use for all commercial, charity, personal etc) and I've got loads of templates... oh and I've time enough on my hands

[raid2506]

davelockin, if you fancy sharing your template/PSD or whatever I can have a play around with some new statements.

I have it saved as a JPEG at the moment as it was designed on my phone. I'll see if I can convert the file to something that will be more easily work-with-able
