Post Boom in e-cigarette sales divides smoking campaigners
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014 ... ampaigners

I doubt many think a light-up fag's cool or worth taking up :| , but the way they're being advertised as a lifestyle choice is nasty. Mind you, that's ads in general...

I know the "smoking is rebelious and cool" thing still lingers with some (mainly the young), but a fake fag being seen as a cool lifestyle choice? :roll:

I see them as nothing more than a substitute and a quitting aid.

They can be but they should not be advertised by the companies. They should fund a public information ads with no preference to any firm.

I've had plenty of people thinking my vaping device is cool.
Although it's much bigger & geeky than most

+1 and maybe a dozen or more of my students have switched from cigs to e-cigs in the last year after seeing me using one.
