It’s been several days since I’ve seen a completely nonsensical quote about e-cigarettes that I hadn’t seen a million times before. Congratulations, Forbes, for the Stupid Article of the Day. Specifically, what won the prestigious award would be this quote from contributor Ilya Pozin:
“While e-cigs aren’t considered to be real cigarettes, why do both Facebook and Google forbid their manufacturers to advertise on their sites? This leads us to question both the effects and components of this product.”
This is the stuff neck-breaking facepalms are made of. I’ve re-read this several times trying a find a way to interpret it that doesn’t mean that Pozin relies on the people who run Facebook and Google to form his opinions of a product’s effectiveness and the quality of the ingredients used in it.
Facebook and Google don’t allow e-cigarette ads, so they must be bad? Â This is some of the screwiest, most backward logic I’ve ever seen in print, and I make it my business see a lot of backward logic.
The rest of the article seems to at least attempt a balanced look at the subject, but in two short sentences, Pozin managed to completely destroy any credibility he may have otherwise had, and turn the entire article into a joke.  There’s just no way I’d be able to take an article seriously after the writer admits he bases his opinion of a product’s quality on the advertising policies of social networking sites.
