In reply to the discussion: People who want to ban e-cigs are the useful idiots of Big Tobacco [View all]NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)Big tobacco is pushing e cigs. With their declining market in the US it is the method they have found to keep their customers as paying addicts. They are also loving the independent distributors. The major tobacco companies can no longer truly get away with advertising to children. The independent shops are taking care of that for them. The independent shops are actually doing exactly what has been made illegal with respect to cigarette advertising. Just look at Lizard Juice. They sell a highly addictive product, use a cute little lizard that appeals to children, promote chocolate and fruit flavors containing high levels of nicotine, and put cute little hearts, lizards, peace signs, ext. on their products. While the product shouldn't be outlawed, the advertising of the products needs to be reigned in. I am really looking forward to more research being done on these products and the health risks involved. E cigs are creating the next big consumer base for the big tobacco companies.
