Default Iran: Nukes, good; e-cigs, bad

Add Iran to the list of countries not welcoming e-smoking. Lots of misinformation here -- but what should we expect from a country that thinks making nuclear bombs is okay, but inhaling propylene glycol could kill somebody!?

Iran: Health Min asks for import ban on e-cigarettes

Maybe that explains why I like ecigs better than regular cigs...

Wow, it's worse than that - the Health Minister says that e-cigs contain a chemical called "polypropylen lycogen" which is also highly addictive...

Never heard of that one before...

Oh, isn't it lovely to be able to use our smileys again! Trog's were fine, but these are... better!

hmm, this is bad news. Bob I was reading your article and you mentioned Belgium has banned these too. Didn't know that. great article by the way too.

From what I've read, Iran doesn't think making nuclear bombs is ok. Their government do think generating nuclear power is ok as do most of the established world and their detractors. they have been at a great pains to point this out.

there is only one country I know of that has ever used nuclear technology as a destructive weapon of war. this is the same big baby that does most of the foul crying.

Hey Hey. The only crying I hear comes from the people getting their behinds kicked and bystanding countries who are too afraid to speak up. Maybe your government should step in and stop it. If you just stand back and let it happen, you are just as bad as the perpetrator.

Anyways, the nuke is a weapon that is only needed once. The best kind.

This part is what I was referring to. Definitely looks like a stab at the US since The US is the only country so far to drop such a weapon. SO I was simply stating that your country is just as guilty since you stood back and watched it instead of doing something.

As far as finding WMD's. I am pretty sure everyone, everywhere is at the same conclusion that they had some, hid some, and we still havent found the motherload(yet we have found some). It was an excuse to invade Iraq and bump Saddam from authority. If we didnt, you would just be "crying" about how bad it is for Saddam to be in power. Either way, you all need something to "cry" about.

So you were right, you weren't sure what I was talking about.

Could someone point me at the article by Bob mentioned? I didn't know Belgium had a ban either - always thought they were pretty much as laid back as the Dutch. Would love to know what the reasoning behind this was.

As far as the rest of it goes, the loudest weeping I can hear is the Iraqis who have seen their country torn about by first Saddam and then the insurgents and would just like to get on with their lives and have safe water to use, electricity and some of those other things most of us take for granted.

I have very strong opinions about nukes too - I don't even like the power-generating variety. But I'm not sure this is the best place to air those views. We share far more here than we differ, when it comes to what this forum is about. Come on, we only just got it back!!

Season of love and peace, guys.
