The ecig niche isn't an easy nut to crack. Definitely a bit of uplift to be seen thanks to this.

how much traffic have you received from the NYT so far?

It's 12:24pm and it's about an extra boost of 1k UVs so far, 600~ from the nyt site itself, the rest from search and direct.

Good stuff buddy. I've just passed the year mark on switching to ECigs.

Nice to see some positive stories on them in the media for a change. Like your designs btw.

This sort of PR work is done the hard way...through much toil.

Are these things sold in head shops? They may as well be; they are a drug delivery system.

There is no god-given right to pollute the air someone else in the immediate area will be breathing.

Retail is very tricky, but it's blowing up too. Relatively quickly, actually.

To better answer your question,

they are this lovely little grey area where it is purely state regulated and you can advertise it as much as you please. I can put a POS display up on a counter and the store can sell them from there all day long. There are only restrictions such as google adwords for example where you cannot advertise. Still, you can perform media buys both online and in magazines, billboards, taxi cabs, etc etc.

The physical advertising can be a pill, since you're gambling with tens of thousands of dollars (minimum) and you need retail locations in order to make the sales at all.
