So those who raise the totally unfounded fears of harm, accept that e-cigarettes are safER (LESS risky) than *smoking*.
So now the requirement should be: PROVE THE HARM.
E-cigarettes have been used by millions & millions of people in the world for over 7 years.
Where are the records of people having suffered HARM from this extensive world-world experience of e-cigarette / vaping use???
If such records of significant harm existed, we surely would hear about them - it would be in our faces 24/7 if there was any documented instances of HARM.
A few facts: Nicotine reduction therapy (NRT) products have a <7% success rate. Chantix has >500 DEATHS by suicide.
This is now about the war to PROTECT SMOKING & the associated $$'s to the drug & cigarette companies, tobacco control indsutry & "charities", and equally importantly: the politicians!!
The experts & science supports that e-cigarettes are SAFER
We KNOW what is in e-cigarettes & vaping
No one has demonstrated HARM
There is extensive scientific knowledge that has been compiled over the last 7 years - and there is no valid reason why these so-called experts continue to claim they are IGNORANT of this growing body of FACTS & knowledge (other than to fear-monger!)
Learn the facts for yourself and join the war against SMOKING:
