Bout time, been saying thats the best thing for the team since Conway decided to stop running ovals.

Apart from DiResta replacing Dario, ex F1 guy can also be Bruno Senna. I heard he's aiming for racing in Indycar but he wouldn't accept to race on ovals, as you stated with Mike.

It might be Sergio Perez, apparently Mike Hull met with him.

Too bad Hornish turned him down. Sam should've never left Indycar in the first place.

It's an electronic cigarette. Big difference as far as the legalities are concerned.

Well, what's stopping the big cigarette brands from going down that way?

Because tobacco brands are about the tobacco, the taste, the experience, etc...

Electronic cigarettes is a method to get people to stop smoking and the harmful effects associated with inhaling burning tobacco.

They are two completely different business models.

Absolutely. In addition to that, it's also still a very uncertain, confusing product because nobody really knows how to regulate it. http://bangordailynews.com/2013/11/20/h ... ette-boom/ Makes sense that many companies wouldn't be interested yet just on that alone.

Tobacco companies are about money and what gets them money. If e-cigarettes is the way to go, they'll definitely follow it. Also, they can use them only as a loophole, just as a way to advertise the brand in general. Btw, E-Cigarettes are a way of someone making a profit out of you, they don't want you to stop smoking, they just want you to only smoke e-cigs.

So to gain more profit you're suggesting the tobacco companies should launch a product that would compete with their only area of business? I know that a lot of companies offer diverse products, but this would not be a good idea.
