California Run A-muck LETS SUE against these lies!!!!!!

[philoshop]

I can't picture a CA judge with enough red blood in their system to even consider a case against this type of behavior. It would be career suicide for them.
If they try to show an ad like this in some other state there might be a fight, but I just can't picture it in CA or NY, or a handful of others that actively promote nannyism.

Then if you are a wicked enough Libertarian as I am..heh heh

Are E-cigarettes Safer? New Study Says Vapors Trigger Lung Cell Stress
Bijay DhungelFeb 19, 2015 07:01 PM EST

Amidst the debate on whether e-cigarettes help people quit smoking, a recent study published by researchers from the University of Rochester in the journal Plus One suggests that e-cigarettes are toxic to cells.

Researchers observed that the epithelial cells (layers of cells that line hollow organs and glands of human lungs) showed signs of severe inflammation (the body's natural immune response) and of reactive oxygen species which can harm the cells (the reason we take anti-oxidants). They also found that smoking e-cigarettes can induce stress and cause cell damage. Similar studies done with mice showed corroborating results.
The heating element of the e-cigarette turns the e-liquid solution into an aerosol to mimic cigarette smoke. Many studies including this have found that heavy metals and other possible carcinogens from these aerosols can reach farther into the lungs, cell systems and blood stream in the form of nanoparticles.

The authors have raised concerns about the metals and oxidants from e-cigarettes in their report to the Journal Environmental They insist that e-cigarettes raise safety concerns as well as potential pollution hazards from second-hand exposures and disposal of e-cigarette waste.

According to Irfan Rahman, Ph.D., Professor of Environmental Medicine at the UR School of Medicine and Dentistry and the principal investigator of the study, "Several leading medical groups, organizations, and scientists are concerned about the lack of restrictions and regulations for e-cigarettes." He went on to add: "Our research affirms that e-cigarettes may pose significant health risks and should be investigated further. It seems that every day a new e-cigarette product is launched without knowing the harmful health effects of these products."

American Society for Clinical Oncology and the American Association for Cancer Research, two leading cancer organizations in the US, issued a joint statement proclaiming that e-cigarettes should be subjected to the same Food and Drug Administration (FDA) restrictions as tobacco until more research is done on its adverse effects.

Don't just read the first post, keep going to get the part about legal actions being contemplated.

Predictable response, at least you are consistent......

I would like to hear opinions from people who are well versed in the law about this issue.

I'm not versed at all in law, but I would think that following the money would be a useful endeavor towards bringing them to task for something along the "malfeasance" line -- they're using public money for private agendas, and I do believe that's a no-no.
