    FORCES - Smoking Bans

    "FORCES International is an organisation in support of human rights and - in particular, but not limited to – in defence of those who expect from life the freedom to smoke, eat, drink and, in general, to enjoy personal lifestyle choices without restrictions and state interference.
    FORCES is an acronym of Fight Ordinances and Restrictions to Control and Eliminate Smoking. That name reflects the organisation’s original intent when it was founded in 1995 in San Francisco, USA. When it became clear that smoking repression, and the use of junk science to justify it, was going well beyond the petty prohibition to smoke in public, and implied instead a fundamental subversion of professional ethics and social values on an unprecedented scale, the scope of FORCES greatly expanded, and so did its size, through many chapters and affiliates in the United States and around the world."

    eSmokers/Vapers.... definitely need to start contacting this group immediately. Eric Blair comments on Dr. Siegel's blog and KNOWS what the ecig is. Definitely a good contact.

    I know Eric. He wrote this outstanding piece,
    FORCES International - Man’s Impending Death To Be Caused By Second Hand Smoke
    Just yesterday, I recommended a particular e cig to him on Dr. Siegel's blog since he was having much trouble with atomizers and batteries. Is it lost on anyone, that Eric chose his user name: Eric Blair because that was the real name of the author of 1984, George Orwell?

    You showed me this piece on another forum! The connection has been made! LOL

    This article was great! For those who haven't read it, here is the best blurb:

    "The soon to be deceased Mr. Moorehead, 54, an unemployed HIV positive, type 2 diabetic, MS, ALS and kidney dialysis patient who is addicted to crystal meth and ......, was shocked and visibly angry when told of his diagnosis and cause of death. Reached at his home in an exclusive gated trailer park community in Missoula, MT, Mr. Moorehead blamed his impending death on the careless brutes with cigarettes down at Jim’s Roadhouse Bar on Highway 263. “I’ve never smoked tobacco in my life. But that darn Jim’s Bar was always filled with that there smoke.”

    FORCES is the worst group on earth for e-cigarette vendors or users to allign with.

    FORCES is a dwindling group of several dozen (worldwide) right-to-smoke extremists who claim that they have a right to expose anyone/everyone else to tobacco smoke pollution, who claim that secondhand smoke is harmless (with many claiming that cigarette smoking is harmless), who prefer name calling and slandering of any/all public health advocates to civil and objective discussion (e.g. they've repeatedly called me a Nazi, Gastapo, Communist, Jihadist, Socialist, terrorist, etc whenever I correct their misleading and hateful propaganda).
