That's a good video! Thanks for sharing. I hate how people form opinions about something they know little or anything about. It's due to social conditioning. Our best defense is to provide our own social conditioning for the masses :-)

The Food and Drug Administration has been in discussions with the e-cigarette industry about a possible online-sales ban of the product, as it prepares a package of proposed regulations for the increasingly popular devices, people familiar with the matter said.

The FDA, which warned in 2009 that e-cigarettes could pose health risks, has been meeting with e-cigarette makers in recent weeks to hear their views on regulations for the industry. The agency is expected to formally unveil its proposals in October, after several delays.

The "listening sessions" at FDA headquarters in Silver Spring, Md., north of Washington, are part of a series of meetings, including conference calls, that have been organized at the industry's request. At least 20 FDA staffers have attended the gatherings at the FDA headquarters, the people familiar with the matter said, as the agency prepares its proposals for public comment.

I read a really good book review on Spinfuel last night:

This may be of interest to others as well. Its about the government, cigarettes, and how we are losing our freedom in this country.

Here are just a few more links for you guys if you are interested.

Related: A UC Berkeley Study (http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jphp/journal/v32/n1/abs/jphp201041a.html) Confirming no loss of air- quality due to e cigs.
Times Author Matt Ridley's "Don't Discourage Vaping, Glamorize it." (http://www.mattridley.co.uk/blog/don't-discourage-vaping.aspx)

I throw the Matt Ridley one in there because it's well written and nice to have a non-smoker/vaper have our backs. I suggest giving it a read!

This is a must read book for anyone interested in how the anti-smoking industry, which is now targeting vapers, operates. Its a long 520 pages. Many of the book's highlights can be read by clicking on links in the article. This is not the same as the Spinfuel article posted above. This one has an interview with the author as well as the book review :-)

Thank you lemerchand and catvapes for the find. I will have to check out the TobakkoNacht – The Antismoking Endgame book.:Thumbs-Up

No problem. I really like the Ridley article. He's a science author, and he's fairly poignant and funny. He kinda attacks all the fallacious arguments against E cigs and makes them look ridiculous.
