    Told to stop having a vape

    Tobacco cigarettes can also be used to smoke 'other stuff' along with the tobacco... AFAIK, that was not the concern behind tobacco bans...! I remember being vilified as a SMOKER... but never as a 'potential' addict... :)

    Told to stop having a vape

    I'm not defending the OP. I only vape inside with the owner's permission. Outside, I will vape anywere. AFAIK, in some places in the States, smoking is already forbidden in beaches, parks, even in your own car... there's no real 'health concern' behind those laws; they were created only to...

    Told to stop having a vape

    You might want to be careful with that. That's exacly what they already tried in the EU, when they tried to medicalize the e-cig :glare:

    Warning: Do not inject nicotine into your heart! - ECF Infozone Article

    These people cannot be real...! :facepalm: "Those who oppose e-cigarette use are trying hard to establish Hai’s study as proof that electronic cigarettes are dangerous, and the medical press seems to be leaning toward buying the line. Many of these people are aesthetically revolted by...

    I'm Discouraged

    Well, you shouldn't... actually, I was your doctor that showed herself in her glorious stupidity... My advise, in a nutshel?? Just get a new doctor. I would be like to be treated by someone who knows, rationally, what he's doing. When ideology gets in the way of effective treatments and in the...

    Caught a patient smoking

    Unfortunately, my personal belief is that it's not going to achieve anything... this is not about science or logic anymore. Several studies have already been made, and even my 15-year old daughter understands them... I cannot honestly believe ANTZ's (as most hospital administrators seem to be)...

    Vaping memes

    Not exacly a meme, but a lovely, lovely picture that describes EXACTLY my feelings towards the lobbying, unelected bureucrats in Brussels who are working tirelessly to protect our health from the evil electronic cigarettes... they all deserve our deepest respect...! ETA: (And...

    Caught a patient smoking

    The irony is, all the tax your smoker colleague paid his entire life, all the money saved in retirement pension by his early departure, is being probably used to pay for other kinds of treatments (for example, the sports accidents you just mentioned). And yet, smokers are still vilified by...

    Caught a patient smoking

    Well, makes perfect sense to me... you know what 'they' say about women with blonde hair...! Having some... uh... 'absent-minded' people working at an hospital can be quite dangerous... :D Just out of curiosity: your avatar is not really a picture or you, IS IT ?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :blush:

    Caught a patient smoking

    Yes. Sheep governed by greedy, power-hungry wolves. This is what makes me mad: the same Big Govt that creates laws to demean smokers, is the same Big Govt who is in bed with BT and BP, ripping sin taxes from voters who just happen to smoke! The same Big Govt that pretends that 20 or more...

    Why certain regulations and bans make perfect sense

    This. That was another typical, ANTZ-like BS. And as usual, most dumb zealots applauded the ban, without thinking about the hidden secrets behind it! If the real concern was, in fact, 'protecting youth', then menthol flavour would have been the first to go. According to Dr Siegel, menthol is...
