Not to mention that the FDA is in big pharma's pocket. Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the FDA until March 2015, is being sued. While in charge of the FDA, the FDA concealed some pretty serious side effects from Levaquin, a drug manufactured by J&J. Her husband is a hedge fund manager whose company had invested heavily in J&J (the company held as much as $500 million in stock). Finally this year the FDA admitted that Levaquin should only be used as a last resort since the risks in using it is so high. The FDA has already documented that over 5,000 people have died using Levaquin and tens of thousands have suffered life threatening and debilitating illnesses as a result of taking the drug.Now, to put that into some perspective...........Total Sales worldwide include retail Price total with massive Included TAXES. Taxes that Feed millions that have no Idea they are Complicit. Government involvement in Tobacco Sales does involve Government Distribution of Billions of those Sales Dollars.
China Government Owns their Tobacco business.
A trillion dollars is a lot of money. Every penny is collected from the billion smokers in the world today and redistributed in all kinds of ways, most of it via taxes. Pretend earmarking for feel good stuff like education and health care is used to insure a strong constituency for tobacco taxes. Soccer moms figure tobacco helps put their little johny through school. Public health people know where their bread is buttered. Most of the people who read the lies know they are lies but they also know they benefit from tobacco taxes. We don't encounter true evil face-to-face very often.Now, to put that into some perspective...........Total Sales worldwide include retail Price total with massive Included TAXES.

oh me too!!! ETA: I toyed with asking, but on 2nd thought.....don't wanna piss off the people that might help us lol
Jup! Aaron didn't go into the detail of it being levaquin, but he did mention this in the webinar. Also that the head of the FDA tobacco dept is also a former lobbyist for Glaxo Smith Kline who make the Nicoderm CQ patches. He said nicorette gum, but I'm not sure they make that. He is so worn out, you can hear it in his voice and see it in his face, so that may have been an error, not sure.
I totally agree, but of course, we're all entitled to our opinions.Not going to argue this but I am going to say it once.
The refusal to do all you can to stop the deeming because you think someone else might derive some benifit from thier efforts is comparable to shooting yourself in the foot to ruin your shoe so noone else can use it........just brilliant.
You and me both!!!I would love to be in the room when Mitch Zeller watches this movie
If/when the dvd comes out, Aaron should send him an autographed copy! heheheI often wonder WHO way back when, Realized they could Mold Tobacco into a Machine to Run Governments worldwide.
If you two would bother to watch the webinar, you could speak from knowledge instead of ignorance.
The entire movie was released in NZ. There was a premiere event. It was very expensive & time consuming to make this documentary. It's very high quality. This is not some random, bodunk, pos film just thrown together. It is very well thought out, edited, & available in formats for streaming in HD, & theaters. They have borne this expense themselves & done it for Vapersn to the exclusion of other documentaries they could have been doing to support themselves & their families. I don't see a problem with recouping their expenses at a minimum. Do you work for nothing?
and continue Releasing to their audience.
hehehe that would be great! You know any???We need a Billionaire willing to Take a Tax write off in the form of a 95 minute PSA, on a National Level, on multiple channels.
Then maybe Netflix would go
The part of the problem is getting the word out about the film. Most countries & local govt's have banned any advertising about vaping, just as they did for smoking. Not everyone lives online, or they skip over ads, nor do they subscribe to vaping magazines. Many, many vapers here in the US don't even know about the DD, & sadly that includes shop owners. Word of mouth helps.
