7 Vaping Heroes Vapers have a tough battle on their hands; they have one of the biggest opponents you can get, the tobacco industry. But there are some great proponents of vaping, heroes, who are working hard to promote vaping and protect it and we think they deserve more recognition. Our Heroes are vaping guardians, serious and honest reviewers and the important advocates and promoters who help grow the industry so it can stand up to Big Tobacco. All are important and if you’re a real enthusiast, we highly recommend following them to keep up to date with developments. Dr Farsalinos http://www.ecigarette-research.com/web/index.php With Big Tobacco lobbying hard to put any blocks in place that they possibly can, the vaping community needs strong, credible, scientific voices in their corner. Dr Farsalinos speaks a lot of sense and fights hard for the significant benefits of ecigarettes.

Herbert Gilbert http://inventors.about.com/od/estartinventions/a/Electronic-Cigarettes.htm In 1963, Herbert Gilbert patented "a smokeless non-tobacco cigarette". In his patent Gilbert described how his device worked, by "replacing burning tobacco and paper with heated, moist, flavored air." Not the finished product we know today, but Herbert Gilbert was the first step. Hon Lik Widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern electronic cigarette, Hon Lik is unknown to most. Hon patented and created his E-Cig in 2003 and with the huge popularity of E-Cigs, you would think he’d have been an instantly rich man. But bad publicity and rival companies with copy-cat designs meant Hon had struggled to reap any significant financial rewards for his invention. Though he recently sold his patents for $75 million. Not too bad. Ok, that's 7 but there are a few more to mention. The vaping movement needs to grow to make sure Big Tobacco can’t win. Celebrities provide an important endorsement and promotional platform. Samuel L. Jackson One of our favorite movie stars has been seen vaping in public on many occasions: http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/19452/1/watch-samuel-l-jackson-perform-slampoem-jimmy-fallon-tv-show-while-vaping Keep it up Mr Jackson! Kate Moss Despite being photographed on the cat walk smoking cigarettes, Kate Moss appears to have switched to the electronic cigarette! Kate also reportedly spent £2,000 to have her driver courier her favorite E-Cigs over to her while she was on holiday – that’s the dedication we like to see. Jack Nicholson Another Hollywood A-Lister frequently seen using ecigarettes. Jack has always been a big and public smoker, so his switch to E-Cigs is great publicity to the cause.
