A positive and encouraging projection of the likely rise of ecig use and the way that misinformation and the constant negativity of relevant authorities who prefer the Quit or Die approach inevitably slow the process ( and contribute to smokers continuing to smoke ).
The talk is encouraging though and suggests that the process of ecig adoption by smokers is basically driven by social interaction. The 'tipping', the explosion of switching to ecigs, will come as Vapers continue to pass on the good news not just in forums and online but with friends, colleagues, family hands on. This way these odd devices become more acceptable,understood and ultimately taken up.
Early adopters, by which he means us, are the mavericks, those who have researched, tried, liked and switched.
We are the pioneers people. Be proud!
Thanks to Gordon for sharing this.
