This an article and a video. It is in SUPPORT of ecigs by a pulmonologist (lung doctor) who mentions that the flavors may attrack kids, but the cost to start vaping would probably deter them. He also says it's safer then analogs!

I CAUTION AGAINST GOING TO THIS "FAKE NEWS STORY"
THIS IS A TECHNIQUE TO PUBLISH A ADD THAT LOOKS LIKE A
REAL NEWS STORY.
IF YOU ARE BRAVE CLICK ON A COUPLE OF HYPERLINKS ANYWHERE IN THIS STORY. THEY WILL REDIRECT YOU TO THIS SITE

Smoke-51 Electronic Cigarette
THIS MAY NOT BE THE REAL SMOKE 51 WEBSITE
[text=http://smoke-51.secureweboffer.com/offer/free_trial2/]
THIS SITE WILL ATTEMPT TO REDIRECT YOUR BROWSER.

READ THIS FIRST:

LARGEST SCAM IN INTERNET HISTORY


OK I'm not figuring this out just yet.

I went to the REAL SMOKE51 web site wwwdotsmoke51dotcom,
Contact button and sent a message about this.
I go to my personal email and it shows I sent the message to

"The following inquiry has been sent to Smoke Anywhere USA, Inc."

but the site it was sent to was To: info@smoke51.com
and the copy to my email came from
This email was sent from Electronic Cigarette by Fifty-One - Electronic Cigarette Smoking, ecig, Electric Cigarette - Global Forwarding Site




In case any of you sellers out there want to join in on the scam and generate your own "FAKE NEWS" and maybe even get it picked up by a real news service, try this site.

If you ain't "in the news" you ain't nobody.

Sorry Rocket man. I didn't know. I usually don't click on links in articles. I didn't even read the article. I watched the video, which my mom sent me the link to.

khadijah,
That's the whole point of spamnews, you are supposed to think it is realnews.
Sometimes we act like we are looking for straws to counter the FDA propaganda. You didn't do anything wrong and I was not pointing any of my comments toward you. And besides, this site may be legit after all. Just isn't ethical from my point of view.

If you pass you mouse cursor oven links, like in this case the ABC, FOX, icons the web address behind that logo will show in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window. The FOX logo will not take you to FOX

Another hint a site is not operating on the up and up is when you try and close the window they ask you over and over if you are sure.
Try it with links on any of our forum pages. Pass the cursor over the link and look at the url in the bottom status bar.

Here is a good tutorial on surfing (web surfing Laz).

Oh the Video is probably real. But it's there to suck you in to the site and then on to the SPECIAL SECRET DEAL.

and maybe you could get your Mom to pass on the idea of vaping to someone SHE knows. Now that would be tricked out for sure.

It's a shame that the e-cig community has to resort to fakenews to fake support from the news media. I suggest that this will only be detrimental to our cause in the long run. Some members have participated in surveys, submitted commentary, contacted media 'celebs' and 'local government' trying to get legitimate support. Fakenews will fool a lot of people but rest assured not those that will have a 'controlling input' to the future of the e-cig. Please consider not participating in these 'almost scams'.
Google news9today (no spaces because there are news 9 realnews sites out there) and PRNEWS.
These sites may be doing legal PR which might be welcome to some businesses to speed up sales/profit. E-cig propaganda needs to be 'Sure-Footed' to succeed.

Thanks for reading this,

The Rocket

OK I guess the smokedash51dotcom and the smoke51dotcom are the same company. The free trial offer the fakenews article redirects your browser to is outlined below:

-------------------------------------------
With this FREE TRIAL, you have an outstanding opportunity to try the Smoke 51 Electronic Cigarette. just pay $9.95 shipping and handling. You have 7 days to evaluate this product and see the results for yourself. By accepting this Free Trial, you will join a select group enrolled in our Smoke-51 VIP Program. If you enjoy Smoke51, simply keep your Trial kit and you will be billed $89.95 and also be enrolled in our VIP membership as outlined below. Your membership will be classified based upon the average smoking indicated in your initial order and will be charged as follows:
No. of Cartridges per Month Monthly Membership Fee 15 Cartridges $29.95
We will continue to provide this savings to you every 30 days thereafter. If, for any reason, you should decide Smoke51 is not for you, simply email us at RMA@smoke51.com within 21 days of your shipping date. You will be removed from future shipments in the Smoke-51 VIP Guaranteed Supply Program and, upon request, will be issued a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. You must return all the items in your last order within 30 days of the date your RMA# was issued. Be sure you RMA# is on the outside of your package. Remember, all the items in your last order must reach our Receiving Department within 30 days of your RMA# issue date. No returns will be accepted without an RMA number.

-------------------------------------------------

So, for about a $100 you can get a kit and have cartridges mailed to your house every month for only $30.
That would beat running down to the mall every month, especially if the mall was like 60 miles away.
Going to the smoke51 and smoke-51 sites get you to the same company but different deals. And more free cookies than you can shake a stick at
