E-Cigarette Advertising To Kids


E-cigarette ads model big tobacco ads of old


About 4 million Americans now use e-cigarettes and sales have grown dramatically since 2010, according to the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association. E-cigarette manufacturers have cited their product's potential to get smokers to give up tobacco cigarettes.
But critics of e-cigarettes have raised concerns that the industry is targeting non-smokers, including young people. The CDC says 10% of middle and high students have tried e-cigarettes, a rate that doubled from 2011 to 2012.
Here's a look at how e-cigarette ads compare to tobacco marketing strategies, many of which targeted young people.

Marital Infidelity

Infidelity is one of the top three reasons couples present for therapy.

Contrary to popular wisdom, the pattern of women responding with stronger feelings than men to infidelity has repeatedly been demonstrated.

USS Coronado, Commissioned April 5th, 2014

My family and I attended the Commissioning of the USS Coronado yesterday, as guests of Commander Kim,  an Officer and a gentleman. 
May you have fair winds in defending our freedom and deterring aggression. Bless the watch standers.
What a special day! I'm told that a commissioning is an event that even old sailors are lucky to ever witness first-hand.

Specs: LCS (class), high speed (40+knots), shallow draft, trimaran with largest flight deck in the fleet. 


We followed this event with a traditional Mexican meal at the wonderful local favorite, El Indio.
