		<description>May as well be smoking. You shouldn&#039;t be emitting smoke of any kind where anybody else has to breathe it. Close the ban loophole.</description>

		<description>Does the government want to say &quot;Thank you for smoking?&quot;  Just as long as they can get their taxes that is.  Walmart and any Kmart can sell nicotine gum, patches, lozenzes.  From every thing I&#039;ve read, this is the best way for hard core smokers who can&#039;t quit at least save their lungs.  I don&#039;t smoke but my fiance is using these and he&#039;s down to smoking only 8 &quot;real cigs&quot; a day from 2 packs.  I love these things.  I want him to live.</description>

		<description>Electronic cigarettes provide the option that smokers have not had up to this point.... The FDA&#039;s testing was flawed in that it used a TINY sample, finding almost immeasurable amounts that it is now using to scare anyone it can about this product.  The fact is, Big Tobacco is scared, because it knows that this product will take their market share.  The fact is, government is scared because it has concentrated so much on passing TOBACCO taxes.... not NICOTINE taxes..... Find out what you can do.  Learn more about e-cigarettes, and why they are a BETTER alternative to tobacco cigarettes.  Check it out at:

		<description>Information shows that there is no evidence that these devices cause any harm to the vaper or the people around the vaper. Despite this, some local areas are taking it upon themselves to pass laws which discriminates against vapers based upon public fear of the appearance of the device, because they look visually similar to tobacco cigarettes. New laws force vapers to stand outside with smokers to use a device that has not been proven to be harmful, based solely on appearance and public fear.</description>

		<description>If you want to see hypocrisy, just google &quot;Chantix side effects&quot; and tell me the FDA&#039;s concern is with the health of e-cigarette &quot;vapers&quot; and not with money interests of Big tobacco and Big Pharma.

As someone who smoked over two packs a day for 36 years I can tell you that PVs (personal vaporizors) ARE the answer to all of the problems that smokers, nonsmokers and antismokers have been looking for. Yet they are being banned everywhere. What the hell is wrong with people?

Maybe we should ban penicillin because it&#039;s made from mold. That can&#039;t be good, right?

If e-cigarettes have some traces of just a few things cigarettes have in a much higher amount, it stands to reason they are safer. Not to mention the thousands of other chemicals in real cigarettes that are completely absent in e-cigarettes.

Again, what the hell is wrong with people. Forget saving thousands of lives and making everyone&#039;s life better, show me the money. I&#039;m losing faith in humanity.</description>
