Obama allows e-cigs to pollute the air at White House dinner
Joanna Coles, editor of Cosmopolitan, sent a Tweet showing e-cigarette use at a White House state dinner yesterday.
At a time that kid use of these products is exploding, President Obama should not be promoting nicotine addiction. He should follow the cities and states that are including e-cigs in their clean indoor air policies.
By allowing this he is setting a terrible example for parents and their kids.

addiction?
Vaping does not meet the criteria for addiction, and it sets the example for quilting, not smoking. Obama should be handing out ecigs.
My tweet to White House e-cig incident
<A dir="ltr" class="twitter-atreply pretty-link" href="http://tobacco.ucsf.edu/JoannaColes";@JoannaColes normalising smoking-NOT CHIC EVER! E-cigs aren't tested to prove safe! Too many youth vaping/becoming nicotine dependent! Boo!
Might I add that the staff should have been oriented by event organisers to direct all smoking/vaping to designated areas. I do not believe the President encouraged smoking/vaping though.
Let's just let him/proper event planning staff that the guest vaping does not set a good example of White House etiquette.
Thanks - Roxie
e-cigs
This and the White House push on far East trade agreements favoring tobacco makes me wonder.
Yes, addiction.
E-cigarettes deliver the addictive drug nicotine, which has the same effects on the brain whether it is from a cigarette or e-cigarette.
Any the population-level data shows that people (especially kids) who use e-cigarettes are <em;less</em; not more likely to quit.
