111. You do know that e-cigs have been available for over 10 years now, right?

They were the reason I was able to give up a 30+year 3-pack-a-day habit that just about killed me. Nothing else worked, not patches, not gum, not cold turkey.

As soon as I learned of their existence I jumped on the bandwagon and joined the other early adopters who sought an alternative to deadly tobacco smoke.

Now 10 years later a Chinese bootlegger laces their juice with a harmful chemical and 8 people die. Instead of rushing to judgment and pronouncing all e-cigs evil, we need to investigate this particular incident and see if there are any safeguards to prevent its reoccurrence. People have been vaping for 10 years without such deaths. To throw out the one thing that has helped so many people kick the habit is not only stupid but will contribute to even more deaths.
