Great writeup!

Jean Rasbridge
Managing Director
E Cigarette Direct

From a vendor but any publicity is welcome. Dugged for future reference.

ha! e-cigs contain 40 times as much nicotine as a regular cigarette.

If that is true, I am currently dead.

When this was posted ASH had a response with in hours:

saudiecig

Excerpt: "More specifically, we are aware of a so-called "open letter" written to you by the managing director of an e-cigarette company which, especially because it is written by an entity with an obvious financial interest in the topic, and someone who apparently has no scientific or medical training, may not reveal all relevant information."

Need alot more diggs for this one. ASH is a pain in the buttocks!

"not the only potential dangers associated with these new e-cigarettes, and that these devices create many known and potential health risks to the users, to bystanders, and to the economy. "

Danger to the ECONOMY?! Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's more economical for me to vape than smoke! Yeah, ASH must be supported by BP, and cig taxes, as they are the only ones "hurt" financially that I can see!

As my daughter says... "Oh, pahhleeze..."

Interestingly I think that ASH and the FDA are actually going to badly damage their own credibility the harder they try to make it sound like E-cigs are worse than tobacco. It really doesn't take a scientist to understand that they 'must' be much safer than smoking tobacco and on the other hand there is hardly any doctor or independent scientist that wouldn't say the same thing.

This one really got me mad... linked from the ASH site Fake cigarettes 'are potentially lethal to children' | Mail Online

Just had to reply... waiting for them to post my comments.

But you forget the amount of people that will just blindly follow what they say, great open letter by by Jean Rasbridge

If you haven't already, do you think it would be a good idea to add the Digg link on your thread about this? Go for it if you do.

Dugged!!!

For anyone that missed the news, we are at war.
And if you aren't digging, your grave might well be dug for you.

Shame on so many of you.
It takes about two clicks and about 15 seconds.

 

[DC2]

And by the way, I have a two year supply right now.
So I am fine no matter what you all decide to do.

But I am spending what free time I can fighting anyway.
And right now, I am fighting for you.

And you, well, you need to fight for yourself.
Or just roll over and give up.

www.tobacco.org is a online library of all things related to tobacco or it's made from tobacco. Some of the links have digg once you go to the full article, some links go to studies or PR releases which may require registration. It's a great place to start in the morning when one wants to use their search engines to find out what are enemies are doing!

I'm brand new to digg and haven't tried posting a digg link yet...I may just have to try to figure it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

I wouldn't be surprised if some of them do. I do think something should be done to regulate the manufacturing of these products. I'll take my chances until then and keep vaping!

An e-cig can contain nicotine content of up to 5 packs of cigs (ref: SmokelessWonder.com - Order Ruyan Jazz E-Cigarette - Ruyan Vegas E-Cigar).

This article is accurate but very misleading and biased.

In a country that is happy to see 23000 people per annum die for want of affordable healthcare, it surprises me not one jot that the media twist the facts to serve an agenda that is blatently biased toward big business interests.
With people like Sean Hannity and ASH spewing ritualistic bile all over the airwaves, who needs enemies heh? lol
