And here it is, yet again, the willingness of self-appointed "public health" groups to acquiesce to the mass murder of 40+ million American smokers, and 1.2 billion worldwide, for fear of damaging the purity of the ANTZ terrorist network messaging.

«American Lung Association said [...] e-cigarettes should be presumed guilty until proven innocent.»

^ This ^ And how much more proof does the ALA require exactly?? It's not like we don't already have mountains of data showing that vaping is monumentally safer than smoking! What more do they want?? :blink:

Dr. Siegel has said that he doesn't believe more science will end this debate, and I agree. No matter how much proof we offer up, they will always require more. There is never going to be enough.

This is exactly my main concern. ANTZ view themselves as holders and defenders of Absolute and Holy Truth, which is, by definition, beyond contestation and requires no proof. I particularly like the 6th property of Truth from that Wikipedia link, and I think it's exactly how ANTZ view us, therefore the "quit or die" mentality:

«6. The Truth will cause the blinders to fall from your eyes, whereupon you will fall to your knees and weep. Conversely, those who refuse to see The Truth are death choosers and will always devalue life.»

$1 billion a year would probably shut 'em up. :D Nevermind our health, all they want is MONEY!!!
