We\u2019re about to lose Iraq to Al-Qaeda. We\u2019ve got all kinds of absolute disasters taking place, and Senate Democrats are upset at NBC Universal because one of their stars was smoking a harmless electronic cigarette.  (interruption) Well, I know, she plays the veep in a comedy show on HBO, big whoop. Electronic cigarettes right now are the rage in Hollywood.  You can\u2019t watch a Hollywood movie without &#8212; every other character smokes throughout the movie.  (interruption) Who started the e-cigarette trend?  Yes, I know.  I know I did.  I was on the cutting edge.  I\u2019ve been there, done that.  I wasn\u2019t even gonna mention that.  But they are the rage out there.  This, to me, is just hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>There was actually a letter &#8220;signed by Sens. Dick Durbin (Ill.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Ed Markey (Mass.), and sent to NBC Universal CEO Stephen Burke and Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Theo Kingma.  The senators cited studies showing that on-screen smoking contributes to young people adopting the habit and said such images amounted to &#8216;celebrity endorsements\u2019 of the behavior. During the broadcast, Louis-Dreyfus was seen puffing on an e-cigarette in an exaggerated manner after hosts joked that her award nomination in a film category had made her &#8216;too cool\u2019 for television actors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a story, I have it here later in the Stack. It might have been from yesterday.  There\u2019s actually been a study now, the e-cigarettes have been out long enough, there has been a study, and it has been proven &#8212; I tell you this guarded because I think all of this study stuff in the media, to me, I\u2019m suspicious of all of it.  But this study happens to say that e-cigarettes are actually reducing the smoking of real cigarettes.  It actually is helping people quit real cigarettes. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing in these things.  It\u2019s water vapor.  They\u2019re flavored.  Sometimes you can smell the flavoring, but there\u2019s no tar.  There\u2019s no tobacco. There\u2019s no fire. There\u2019s no flame. There\u2019s no carcinogen. There\u2019s nothing.  There\u2019s nothing in them.  It\u2019s water vapor.  Well, yeah, nicotine\u2019s in there, but what\u2019s the problem with nicotine?  Now, nicotine, I\u2019ll tell you this. <\/p>\n<p>(interruption) There\u2019s that video of the devil baby.  Fox is finally running it.  This is hilarious.  Cutting edge again here on the EIB Network. <\/p>\n<p>Nicotine is the most addictive drug on the planet, hands down, not even close.  You know how you can tell?  No one has a pleasant first experience with it.  In fact, everyone\u2019s first experience with nicotine, i.e., inhaling a cigarette, sometimes vomiting, sometimes hacking cough, sometimes, &#8220;I\u2019m never doing this again.&#8221;  Five minutes later they\u2019re lighting the next one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I didn\u2019t watch the Golden Globes.
