They just can’t leave us alone. You would think they would be happy about eCigs if they really hate cigarettes.
Oh, it will get really dirty.
I started vaping seven months ago, and haven’t had an urge to smoke since.
Interesting because tonight is a first: an Ashton Cabinet!
Lollipop flavored nicotine? That’s okay?
“Lollipop flavored nicotine? That’s okay?”
Have you seen the variety of snuff that’s out there, just about any flavor you could want.
People are dying from asthma because the environmentalists caused aerosol-based inhalers to be banned from the marketplace in order to “save the ozone layer.” No one is safe.
What’s a concerned public health agency to do? Fight ads with ads.
And the winner is... The Advertising agencies and the various media that carries the advertisements.
The regulators are going to have to move beyond the cancer related health argument to an assertion that nicotine addiction is, itself, a negative health consequence. That seems like a reasonable position to me.
They should have stepped on the neck of tobacco back in 1996, but they just had to keep it around to make all of gr8 that tax money. Now it is coming around to bite the government in the butt. Now they are not even going to get the tax money.
I predict that a mechanism will be derived within a few years for the vapers to pay their protection money to the government in the form of an excise tax. Whatever pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo is needed will be produced, probably by the EPA, or perhaps the CPSC. If the government is completely shameless, they will have the FDA produce the shank, and sacrifice their last remnant of scientific credibility.
It is hard to bet against “completely shameless”...
Anti-smoking was and is a big cause for the left. i never understood thier obsession with it. Sure, they have a big point about the unhealtiness of it, but vaping solves that problem. Why are thier heads exploding over this while at the same time blue states are legalizing the reefers? There must be a powerful demon who does not like the smell of nicotine.
Well people need to understand something.
lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer among both smokers and non smokers worldwide.
I could substitute caffeine for nicotine in your sentence. The two substances are nearly identical in their molecular structure and their health consequences are very close too. Do you really think that banning coffee is a reasonable position?
Really?
Source, documentation, link? I call BS.
>>an assertion that nicotine addiction is, itself, a negative health consequence.
What are the negative health consequences? Lower incidence of Alzheimer’s and thus fewer Dem voters?
Believe it or not, it's true. Google is your friend. Use it, if you dare.
You made the goofy comment, you (or the other addicts) should back it up.
It’s not about smoking.
It’s about control.
No one seems to get all bothered by nicotine patches or gum, but e-cigs are causing all kinds of concerns. It’s just another delivery method. I smoked for 45 years and have been vaping now for 2 1/2 years. No more cigarettes. I feel great and would never go back to smoking, but I am addicted to nicotine. Trying VERY slowly to cut back on the nicotine, but I’ll probably just keep vaping anyway.
Where are these "advertised" to children?
The same author would never make this same charge about hash oil laced candy bars or brownies in Colorado.
“Lollipop flavored nicotine? That’s okay?”
How about Coca-Cola flavored Rum? Or...oh my god...orange juice flavored Vodka!!
Translation: "There's not enough tax revenue coming in. They're going to cut fund to my department!"
