CNN bashes e-Cigs - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Well not CNN themselves, but the study they report on.

Study: 'Electronic cigarettes' don't deliver - CNN.com

Quote:

Ten puffs from either of these electronic cigarettes with a 16 mg nicotine cartridge delivered little to no nicotine," the study found.

But the units may deliver hazardous chemicals, according to preliminary checks by federal regulators. In a notice to importers, the FDA blocked continued shipments after finding diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans.

Quote:

Sales of the devices continue at shopping mall kiosks and small storefront retailers, apparently drawing from stock imported before the FDA began to block shipments from overseas suppliers.

:P I guess "As Seen on CNN" still applies.

Bingo.

BTW: nice idea posting the QRcode as your avatar. It's possible you may have been the only person who got my joke back in the t-shirt thread.

I could see someone using this as a "What the Feds don't want you to know" Farticle.

I am willing to bet my left nut that the main funding if this program is somehow linked to tobacco companies...

Think about it like this

"ARE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES A SCAM?" type shit. Dirrrtttyyyy.

There are billions of dollars at stake here for those against e-cigs; both for tobacco company profits and government tax revenue.

Speaking of e-cigs, I'm surprised there are not more free trial offers around. You'd think it would be perfect for it. Sending new cartridges every month is the ultimate continuity opportunity.
