Talk about odd jobs!

I came across this news story today in the New York Times about e-cigarettes and the booming e-cigarette industry in China. It reminded me of a previous entry on Shanglish about odd jobs. Speaking of odd jobs, how would you like to be an e-cigarette tester?

After watching the e-cigarettes video, discuss the following questions with a partner. Then share your opinions with the class as a whole.

• What is your opinion about e-cigarettes? Do they do more harm than good?
• Do you think it should be legal to smoke e-cigarettes indoors?
• Do you think e-cigarettes are a good alternative to regular cigarettes?
• After watching the video, what are your opinions about the manufacturing process?
• Do you think the e-cigarette industry is a good source of new jobs?
