[RavenZ]

Found this article today and just WOW....[URL='http://news.yahoo.com/9-things-consider-try-e-cigarettes-stop-smoking-130000914.html']9 Things to Consider Before You Try E-Cigarettes to Stop Smoking - Yahoo News[/URL]

I find most Yahoo News articles to be trash...

 

[ScandaLeX]

Yahoo LOVES to promote falsehoods!

 

[Completely Average]

Fortunately, no one reads Yahoo news.

I left this comment on that article:

"Pardon? You'll have to speak up. I can't hear your scaremongering and propaganda over the sound of how I quit smoking after 42 years on the first day of using a vaporizer."

Seems like almost all the comments are by people who quit smoking using ecigs. I added mine. The more the merrier.

"If you've exhausted your options, think about the things that you would be willing to accept in terms of risk," Berg says. "You may decide to try e-cigarettes; you may not. Just know there's no [conclusive] research out there and [despite] what you're hearing on the street, from your friends or even your doctors to give it a try -- still be very cautious about that."

Does that honestly say to second guess your doctor? Wow... the lengths these hacks will go to...

I thought we were Breaking links to Junk articles!

My younger (58yrs.)Brothers Doctor said - As a Friend, I suggest you give vaping a try.

Moved from General vaping to Media and General News.

another slice of glantzian lunacy splashes into the festering TC science denial cesspool. Hear that? it's the sound made by scraping the barrel with a bent wooden spoon

 

[aerie]

Oh dear lord, yahoo.

 

[caramel]

Let me guess... this "news" are from a mechanical engineer playing medic?

 

[RandyF]

We hypothesize that maybe [users] are getting higher doses of nicotine, and so it becomes less likely they're able to quit," Al-Delaimy says

Hmmm, conduct a study to "hypothesize" (edit - the basis) of your results. That seems a bit backasswards to me?

US News posted this originally and it's now live on their Facebook.
U.S. News and World Report | Facebook maybe voice comments there instead of on a yahoo page as well.

Damn, I wish I would of saw this two years ago when I quit smoking using ecigs. I better tell my entire family that we quit the wrong way. How to proceed? Should we start smoking again or should we continue vaping 0 nicotine juice? I need a Mechanical Engineer that is masquerading as a public health expert to tell me. Good old Glantz needs to show us the way.

Remember the line in the move "Rainman" about K-Mart? The same applies to Yahoo news.

Closely followed by the sound of liberty being sucked through a straw like the last of a slurpee, by the nannyists.

Oh Ya - K-Mart sucks alright.

On a side note, a K-Mart in my town got replaced by a Home Depot store that has lasted longer than the K-Mart did - without "Blue light specials".

I just went back to that page to read more comments that would have appeared since this afternoon. The comment section has been subjected to massive pruning by moderators. I found it absolutely amazing that the ONLY remarks left in it from any anonymous commenter are mine. Every single other one has been deleted.
