Fuming over ban
The Standard - Hong Kong's First FREE English Newspaper
Wednesday, March 18, 2009

I was appalled after reading that the health minister had banned electronic cigarettes.

I am one of tens of thousands of people that have been helped to quit regular cigarettes by the use of the electronic version.

I know they are untested and there may be health issues long term, but quite frankly I am willing to take the risk.

When I compare the unknown effects of my electronic cigarette to the known effects of the regular cigarettes, I feel astounded that any government would ban the sale of electronic cigarettes and allow the sale of regular cigarettes which have killed millions!

I feel the minister should take a long hard look in the mirror and decide whether he actually wants to help not only the people of Hong Kong but also worldwide give up regular cigarettes or whether he likes being a puppet for the tobacco companies?

Leaving regular cigarettes on sale and banning a safer alternative is insane, it is like banning the electric car instead of a regular one because he thinks it may produce a harmful electric field!

It's time people in power realized that they are there for the good of the people that elected them, not to line their own pockets!

they have to get their act(s) together
and ship from mainland china,
there are several international airports,
Beijing, Guanggho, etc.....
these fly international without going into - out of HongKong.

good international bigboys shipping agents
are needed also like --
DHL -- TNT --
these bigboys know all the tricks of their trade
and ways around different problems they may encounter
getting their packages thru to their end clients.
