I watched this, because I was semi-interested...
This interview has given me the biggest 180 degree flip of opinion since i started vaping.
The guy is a bit brash, but he speaks passionately.
If you can make it through the lot then I think you will have a completely different attitude than you had before.

Too long didn't watch? NJOY have done more for the vaping community than you might know, including fighting FDA and legislation. They continue to battle regulation and employ full-time government legislation experts (the only vape company doing so). NJOY not associated with big tobacco, working toward overcoming misconceptions about the company. New flavour line, made by current industry leading mixers/artists - 5 flavours made by 5 different artists. I'm not saying go buy an NJOY, it does seem they are moving in a good direction.

I watched it all and it is a bit of an eye opener. At one point I'm sure he flipped the bird at big tobacco

Not had time to watch yet but it was an NJOY cig-a-like that got me on to vaping in the beginning.

its took them how many years to come out and get interviewd, and just cause good old geoff is saying all this stuff people believe him?
if they have been fighting the fda from a business point of view he would be shouting it from the roof tops and have it plasterd all over his website, and surley he would of cleard up the fact most people thing njoy is run by a tobacco company but no he waits however many years, and does it, almost like getting a statment of a murderer about a month after the crime so he can get his story straight.
but thats just me i never believe what any big corperation tells me or polititian or newspaper cause i always think they have a seperate agenda or mostly doing things for their benefit only

Talk sense man.

Everything like this is open information. A quick google provides lots of evidence of these facts: Battling the FDA www.ecigarettedirect.co.uk/campaign/fda-njoy-smoking-everywhere.htmlAs well as their work battling legislation/election intervention vaping.info/ava-comments-defeat-nm-state-rep-liz-thomsonI'm not sure using similes with a murderer is fair. Obviously NJOY do have their own agenda, they want to sell their product and do well as a business. I also think they are doing (more than) their fair share of work in regards to this vape war. I think this shows how NJOY are part of the community and we are all together, cigalike, sub-ohm, shop & vaper, in needing to show that we won't sit quietly while big tobacco and pharma try to push fear tactics and ignorance to the general public through bent research, un-scientific claims & bully tactics. If you don't think NJOY are on our side after watching this video then I don't know what would convince you.

After a shipment of NJOY electronic cigarettes were stopped on the same grounds, NJOY joined the proceedings.
just my opinion would they be fighting our cause if there shipment wasnt stopped?
i really dont think so personally, but hats off to them for fighting our corner even if it just to keep their pockets lined and anyone in that situation would do the same
