[Public diplomacy]...the term "was developed partly to distance overseas governmental information activities from the term propaganda, which had acquired pejorative connotations."
Now they propagandize the word 'propaganda?'
The names have changed to protect the complicit, the mission however remains the same...
Great article! (just found your site and intend to return and read more)
I have little to add to the knowledgeable comments above regarding the FDA study and the increase in quality of life and health using "electronic cigarettes" aside from my own story.
I smoked for almost 30 years. When I first heard of e-cigarettes I too looked to it as a means of cutting my exposure to the carcinogens in cigarettes. I didn't believe I could quit. And with good reason. Tried all the NRTs. They simply don't address all of the issues smokers endure while trying to quit. They simply don't work for the majority. No, these should not be marketed as smoking cessation devices. However they can significantly reduce the need for a cigarette. Many e-smokers, or vapers have "accidentally" quit when they found miraculously they no longer had the need for a cigarette. I am one of them.
After a month of vaping, my lungs feel clear, my sense of smell is back, my skin has a better color to it. I can laugh again without having a coughing fit. If vaping is so dangerous, why am I healthier? There is simply no way vaping is as harmful as cigarettes. How is it they are not banned? Would the FDA prefer to see vapers go back to smoking? That is what will happen. NRTs do not work!
before you say or write another bad word about the insurance companies in our country...why don't you do some research and find out which private sector (you know, the companies that you just said were so selfish and bad) insurance companies provide the health insurance for the obama family, senators and their families, congressmen and their families, supreme court judges and their families, MEMBERS OF ALL UNIONS AND THEIR FAMILIES? Let's discuss how terrible these companies are when union members, senators, congressmen, judges and obama get on national television and tear up their plans and embrace obama's duty to die plans? Then and only then will I listen to you!
"... fines for not disclosing...as fake news..."
Hypothetically: Fox News gets fined, according to this law, and what... the Pentagon pays the fines?
