CBC News - Toronto - Ont. launches $50B tobacco lawsuit

Frustrating isn't it ?!!.....

I used to have all the stats by province of taxes collected from tobacco sales, and hospital costs due to related illness (even though that was exaggerated by grouping all cancer afflictions and relating them to smoking illness), but have long deleted them after finding out that revenue of collected taxes went into a central pool to be distributed dependant on NEED at the time rather than for the purpose of which it was collected/levied in the first place.

Its such a farce in the big picture........

People are making comments on the article, calling for a "safer" alternative to tobacco smoking be required. Hmmmm....the irony.

You know the sad thing, its so screwed up the way things have become, its not about what is best anymore, its all about making a buck and protecting their “job”.

Tobacco makes huge money. The government makes a fortune off it. Even the anti-smoking groups and programs make money off it. They need it to protect their jobs, and the system is set up in such a way, i.e. smokes cost so much for 2 cents of tobacco, that it employs these people.

Since I’ve used the e-cig it has been EASY to stop smoking EASY!!! Why have all the other quit smoking aids been on ineffective? Because the government wants you to keep smoking.. Look at the gum, it has 4 mg in it (down there with the weakest e-juice). It doesn’t work worth a crap because there is no nicotine, by LAW they cannot offer more. Heck take a wad of chew, and it will cure your cravings for a smoke, but rot out your mouth.

Then you have the price. It’s a FORTUNE for the nicotine gum. Why? Its gum and nicotine, and with e-cigarettes we are finding out how cheap nicotine really is. They don’t want to offer a real alternative to their cash cow tobacco.

It’s all about leaches without a purpose in life trying to hang on to something to get their hand in your pocket to maintain their pathetic existence.

We will se e-cigarette become legal in the future but ONLY after the government finds a way to profit off them. Look at the direction thus far, they have to be approved as a “medical device”. Just think of all the government fees, paperwork, taxes ect you would have to give up to get their “approval” as a “medical device”

There is nothing you can do except ignore them. You can't fit them. Their jobs are on the line, and they will fight like hell to keep them. Keep smuggling your e-cigs and e-juice, at least its cheap now, unlike when it becomes legal and the tax on them is more than a pack of smokes.

My rant for the day
