I've seen those in Walgreens, and I was tempted to buy a kit, out of morbid curiosity, just to see if they're as bad as Blu.
I noticed they didn't show anyone actually vaping it. Just an artsy commercial with a bunch of hipsters posing with a cig-a-like.
I prefer Dorff walking on the beach.

One of these days I'm going to pick up an NJoy King just for reference. The only cig a like I've tried is Smok Stik I won. It's OK for what it is.
I started with a fin. Didn't have enough nic for me and it tasted pretty dire. But it was a fair starter since I got it cheap from the murphy's. It also let me cut my smoking way back before I was ready to sort out online ordering. I still keep it around as a back up just in case since it takes a regular 501 cart.
The news radio station I listen to has Fin and Logic commercials nearly constantly. The Fin one says "Now you can smoke anywhere!"
The station I listen to is starting to inundate the airwaves with it. I have a problem with it... "Now you can smoke anywhere!"
No, you can't. I'm concerned because commercials like this attach the stigma of analogs to vaping...
They sure have a lot of Wal Mart's biz tied up with this saying
"Last time we checked * the pursuit of Happiness * is still an Inallienable (sp) Right.

And that is my one problem with the ads. There are plenty of ANTZ that take that as a challenge and more reason to come after us. Not the sentiment so much as it would be lovely if it were true, More that slogans like that are sort of like popping and ANTZ on the nose and going nya nya nya nya nya nya
I think you nailed it... and the woman's voice is horrible.
I may send a note to the company about that commercial.
Like anything, it's a double-edged sword.
"Now you can smoke anywhere" has 2 positive effects.
1. Smokers will here it and be tempted to give it a try. It's a good way to gently enter the world of vaping, to just try supplementing your smoking with an e-cig now and then in places you can't smoke. Then to find you like it and go from there.
2. Put it into the minds of the public that vaping is safe enough and inoffensive enough to smoke anywhere.
However, I tend to see things the opposite of the general public, lots of things, not just vaping. So, if I think it's a positive, it's probably really a negative. You just never know about those ANTZ.
ETA: Can't actually comment on the commercial itself. I haven't seen it.
