Love the article. He tells it how it is. Unfortunately this does not make for nearly as good news as saying that it will kill you. News producers care less about the truth and more about ratings.

Nice article and thanks for posting. I'd still rather vape than eat an "approved" chicken nugget. Talk about stuff contained within.......yuck, and no way.

Home-made chicken nuggets are good, btw.

STOSSEL FOR PREZ 2012!

A couple of things that stood out to me:

"e-cigarettes also have been shown to be unusually successful in helping smokers quit."

and ..

"Rodu writes. 'It’s time to abandon the myth that tobacco is devoid of benefits and to focus on how we can help smokers continue to derive those benefits with a safer delivery system.'"

We have found, do & will find a way if they won't take it away .. Nazis.  I don't use that word lightly.

Ah yes, the home made nuggets are great, and wife makes them all the time for various dishes. Not intended to bash any vendor or fast food chain, but is a comparison on what trace amounts can be found in this or that "approved" product. We all know this is not about safety, health, or concern for smokers.

Follow the.......?

Spam:
* Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added.
* Salt (for binding, flavor, and firmness)
* Water (to help in mixing)
* Sugar (for flavor)
* Sodium Nitrite (for color and as a preservative)
"The residents of the state of Hawaii and the territories of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) consume the most Spam per capita in the United States."
I'm so glad I live in Alaska...but I think we are pretty high on the list of "Spammers"
