Fighters - Would you take money from this sponsor?

Underground

 I handle marketing for the biggest electronic cigarette company in the world.  They are looking to do some creative advertising.



We currently sponsor our own Nascar and are the main sponsor for the Country Music Awards this month.  We also just purchased placements in tons of music videos and product placement in TV. 



Electronic Cigarettes do not contain anything other than water and nicotine.  Obviously their are health issues with nicotine.



Anyway we are looking to widely expand our brand and sponsor fighters.  Mostly interested in those that will have TV time.



I have seen fighters with energy drinks and alcohol products but not sure how receptive fighters would be to an electronic cig company.



Thoughts?

 Send a PM to Lionpaws.  He's a Strikeforce fighter in desperate need of some sponsors.  (Has a thread going right now titled "reaching out to the UG....")

 Are these the electronic cigarettes that help a person quit smoking?

Money is money and I don't know why a struggling fighter would turn down any sponsorship money.

 Thanks a lot for the feedback.  Lots of PM's.



I never know how its going to go...  



Just to answer common quesitons the company is Blu and they are the only American company doing e-cigs.  Everything else is imported from China and will give you Chinese dick breath.



It can't be marketed as a "quit smoking" product but many people have used it to do so.



What we can say is that it is a much healthier alternative to cigarettes in that it only contains water and nicotine.



So its got all the issues of things that speed up your heart. 



Again thanks for the feedback!
