Australians switching to E-cigs despite the Ban

[Vocalek]

I just received an email letting me know that my letter is on the "short list for publication."



Keep your fingers crossed!

According to the 2004 annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers......

Cases considered Major
tobacco: 9 / 7671 = 0.117% with zero deaths
Pharma: 3 / 867 = 0.346% with one death

Would a product that had a success rate of 2% after 20 months and was 3 times more likely to cause a major health risk be considered "safe and effective" by the FDA or should they say that "NRT is not a sale alternative to smoking".

Excellent point!

My letter was published! And I am in excellent company, as the one above mine is from Dr. Murray Laugesen, whose research I keep citing for product safety. It's about halfway down the page.

A double standard


And thanks to Petrodus for the head's up that it had been published. The newspaper never notified me that they decided to run it.
