E-Cig Supplement today in The Times

[DiscoDes]

Today there is a 16 page pull-out supplement in the Times if you can't get to a Newsagents you can read the articles here :

theraconteur.co.uk/category/lifestyle/electronic-smoking/

What do you think?

Have we raised our heads above the parapet?

Discuss:

[OneDay]

Well I have to say, to my mind that was a thoughtful, balanced and sometimes humorous set of articles.

I'm a little disappointed in one of the reviews, where the reviewer seems to have jumped in without bothering to find out anything about vaping, complaining that the vape was too strong and that it gave him a tickly cough. Better stick with the fags, then. No coughing worries there, and they're all exactly the same strength, so no nasty surprises.

Muppet.

lol jiggsbro, don't worry we know there is only one loser there. The person that is still smoking

[Malibu]

Well I never know that PG was used in inhalers for asthma (sp). That will get filed away for when antifreeze gets mentioned again.

[OneDay]

Also for filtering air in hospital wards apparently

[Perpetua]

I'll have a good read over me din dins and report back with my thoughts Des.

I actually went out & bought the paper.

From the looks of things, it's been organised by ECITA as i think all the e-cig vendors advertising are ECITA members?

Interesting that they say Tom (Crossbow) set up UKV - I thought it was set up by Jackie? Mind you, I suppose that as Tom is Katherine's (ddodlbug's) partner & Katherine is the founder member of ECITA, that's why he got a mention rather than Jackie. Now I wonder why we didn't get a mention

[hifistud]

My understanding is that ECITA had editorial control, yes. Haven't seen the hard copy yet, but if it is swamped by e-cig ads it'll lose a lot of credibility.

[Perpetua]

An interesting online read, a balanced article for a change . . . rather than the usual electronic cigarette ' bashers ' being given the spotlight.

ECITA did organise this ...Jemima posted about this a while back asking for input

[Chrissie]

Gordy, Jemima posted about ECCA wanting input for an article/supplement? lappy still freezes when I click on a link to ECCA

Just to mention that anti-freeze contains water too.

So, to those who mention anti-freeze, just tell 'em that..

Had a new customer today at Penistone who said he had read the supplement and wanted to try an e-cig.

He did - was impressed - and bought an SD Keyring and 5 extra cartomizers.

Not read all of the reports yet this quote tickled me though , I almost spat my beer on the keyboard

“We’re watching with interest,” says a source within one of the major cigarette companies. “This could just be a fad but, if there’s something in it, then we might well invest.”
