Reports of Philip Morris phasing out cigarettes

[Cumulo Vapus]

Philip Morris's vision of cigarette-free future met with scepticism

It seems to have begun….the slow move to throttle vaping and start coming out with a competitive product. Its still tobacco though…yuck!

Its all such baloney, its all being very carefully controlled by some very , very wealthy and powerful people and there are NO coincidences.

Damn, wrote another stupid paragraph after reading the article.

The page just flickered and it disappeared. Im to tired to write it all out again.

I saw a bunch of these reports about BT moving towards phasing out cigarettes and I can only believe it being a big pile of propaganda to make people start hoarding smokes and raise the bottom line.

Sounding the alarm

There will ALWAYS be smoking. IMHO. Less maybe, but never gone.

Once more: That is a test balloon...

Will never happen.

I think it is Somewhat Amusing that so much has been made about this Statement...

“I believe that there will come a moment in time where we have sufficient adoption of this alternative product and sufficient awareness to start envisaging – together with governments – a phase-out period for cigarettes,”
André Calantzopoulos, Philip Morris

I wonder what would be considered "significant adoption"?
And in what Decade such a "phase-out period" might begin?
