    Oddly enough, these are the very same methods that are used to advertise just about everything else on the planet. Why? Because they work. There’s nothing in a eCig that’s any more harmful than a cup of coffee. When you’re done trying to demonize them and ready to look at facts, check out CASAA.org.

  2. Except for E-lites all the other companies are owned by tobac co”s so their not doing any different to what the”ve always done.Like Matt said look at facts before you slag off e-cig co”s.They are not all the same.

  3. Great post, i wonder how much companies spend on these cigarette adds? It seems though todays ads are not supporting the purchase, they are highlighting the impact of smoking.
