Doctors, scientists express concerns over e-cigarette bill. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/5/2014)
Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) is the sponsor of the bill. "It's sad that we have to introduce legislation to clarify that the smoking ban was not supposed to (affect) e-cigarettes."
Another West Bend resident was in the hearing room. Don Muehlbauer, owner of DuraSmoke, the largest e-liquid company in the country, said his products are safer than conventional cigarettes. He said the flavored liquid, which is heated by a coil in the devices and turned into a vapor, contains four ingredients: nicotine, flavoring, vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol.

But this doesn't stop conservative talk radio bloviator Vicki McKenna from confusing customer testimonials with medical claims. "I found out that over the course of a few days I was able to transfer my dependency of cigarettes to the use of an e-cigarette with substantial benefits to my health."
