Tobacco Control Journal openly insults vapers

[DrMA]

«It continues to baffle me why the tobacco control movement views vaping and vapers with such venomous disdain. If we had the same disdain for smokers who slop on patches or use nicotine inhalers or chewing gum, we would be writing ourselves out of the public health field.»

And this

«The tobacco Control Journal is not science, it is merely moral ranting, and only marginally more sophisticated than the demented craziness which emanated from certifiably insane puritan mouth-frothers in 19th century Britain and 1920s USA.»

I would be more concerned with a journal or paper that people might actually read... haha

All joking aside though, these people seem to thrive off of thumbing their nose at we the vapers.

I read A LOT of vaping/e-cig articles so that I can try to stay up to date with the media's shock stories. The recycled garbage logic they use to paint headlines and sour the public's opinion makes my brain hurt, but someones got to do it!

Cartoons showing people vaping?

They're obviously trying to get young children, some of whom can't even read, to try vaping. There can be no other way of understanding this than they are trying to hook kids on vaping. Seriously, what type of grown adult looks at cartoons?

If these are the folks that get a power trip out of kicking smokers out on the street and might not be able to do that with us in the future, I'm very happy at their anger and frustration.

I saw an article about losing the ability to remember things because everyone just looks up information on search engines. Evolution doesn't work that fast, might be the case in a few thousand years but not since the advent of the smart phone. The so-called entertainment industry, with all this big brother, reality tv, game show, cooking program crap that is force fed to people these days is mind numbingly boring, if anyone remembers the old test card that came up on the TV when broadcasts were ended, I'd prefer to watch that for an hour than this drivel. Where am I going with this I wonder ?, must get back on subject.
The tobacco control crew are just another bunch of government funded reprobates that are trying to keep their cushy jobs by continually spouting the same old nonsense, the thing that annoys me most is the number of people who believe all this "stuff", blindly sucking up all their rhetoric as if it's the gospel truth, individual people can be very intelligent, but the intelligence quotient of a group, drops in proportion to their number.

Where is this alleged cartoon? I didn't see a cartoon section on the Tobacco Control website...

Be sure the kids are asleep before looking at this image. I don't even get it, no person looks like these images, so obviously they are appealing to kids with such imagery. Although, I must say the androgynous person on the right is all that and a bag of chips.

The cartoonist was trying to make the vaper look like a hipster. Where he went wrong is not giving the guy a big belly and shirt 2 sizes too small and tribal tats. Basically he should have drawn Chumlee with an oversized box mod and one of those really long drip tips...

I'm curious where all the side stream vapor is coming from while he's taking a drag.

Sometimes I'll get a little "pop" from the atty, and a bit of vapor comes out the airhole... that must be it.

I think that 'cloud' is so close to his nose, and I've seen enough Scooby Doo to realize it's a scent cloud, which is probably representative of the Patchouli oil that the other character is obviously drenched in.

I'm totally offended..Why is it fine to offend some but if you offend the wrong group you are considered an evil person?!? What we need is a black transgender left wing celebrity as our vaping poster child.

Okay not black but will he/she do?!?

It will give him/her more attention. Someone hit her up for an add.

I think she looks more right as a woman than he ever did as a man -- but she's still got "man hands." It's hard to change one's bone structure!
