After you read this see my opinions below!

California’s attorney general is seeking to halt the sale of one company’s Electronic Cigarettes in the state, saying they contain dangerous chemicals and are being marketed to children.

State Attorney General Jerry Brown filed suit Wednesday in Alameda County Superior Court against Florida-based Smoking Everywhere Inc., a leading manufacturer of E-Cigarettes.

Brown says the company has no evidence to back up claims their product is safe.

Smoking Everywhere’s devices look like regular cigarettes but are battery-operated and contain cartridges of nicotine. A heater converts the chemical into a vapor.

The company did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration found last year that e-cigarettes contain carcinogens.

End of Article, My turn.

To me this is just typical hypocritical political BS! What are these politicians trying to accomplish? Obviously not trying to help people, they are either just that ignorant or have hidden agendas that side with big tobacco. There are so many groups and politicians that promote not to smoke tobacco, but since the E-Cigarette industry has been growing they have directed their effects against it. I have even see articles with some of these guys stating that E-Cigarettes are worse than traditional cigarettes. Everyone knows how many people die each year from smoking and if they were really interested in helping smokers find a healthier alternative and/or quit smoking, they would support the E-Cigarette industry. If they think that there might be some harmful chemicals in the E-Cig (which just there assumption and lies) than they should put there efforts into fine tuning the e-cig. However their only agenda is to overlook the benefits from it and try to demolish the industry and continue killing people with real cigarettes.

On a slightly different note, from my experience and knowledge of Smoking Everywhere they don’t seem to be the greatest example of an E-Cig company and seem to be very money oriented, but who cares if they are helping people find a healthier alternative and/or quit smoking. Big tobacco is only in it for the money, they knowingly kill people and make a profit from it.
