E-cig on CTV News

[iheartpoco]

Edit: I must add that cleaners like lysol come in disturbing koolaid colours like purple and blue. Aren't they worried about the kiddies?
AND...what about cigarettes and ashtrays hanging around houses....what about the kiddies? Look what's proven to be in ciggies!
You get the point onlookers.

I have a bottle of cake vodka that could turn a 5-year-old into a raging alcoholic.

My teenage drink of choice was a mickey of Peach Schnapps. Yum!

I guess alcohol does not count when we are fretting over the fate of the children.

These comparisons are endless.
Tic-Tac are a gateway to all sorts of things in pill form.
Cafe mocha or any number of flavoured coffee whiteners are targeting young people to get them into a lifetime addiction to caffeine and eventually, much more powerful, and illegal, stimulants.
I can find many fruit flavoured liquors that may be seen as targeting young people.
Kid's meals at fast food chains are designed to introduce children to lifetime of bad diet and obesity.
The form factor of soft drinks, in cans and bottles, are an obvious analogue to alcoholic beverages and are designed to encourage alcoholism.

The argument regarding e-cigs being a gateway to smoking for young people is an obvious red herring and can easily be countered by asking for real data on it.

At least they ended with a mention of Boston University's School of Public Health coming out in favour of these devices.

Anyone who understands that such a body is involved in constant research will lend their opinion more weight...as opposed to Dr. Theo Moraes who quite obviously has not researched the subject, and even diverts his comments from the actual subject of the report to describe the children of smoking parents that he treats - pretty much unrelated.

I visited my family doctor last month. When I showed him my Zmax, he was overjoyed. He thought it was brilliant that I don't use any tobacco products anymore, and was excited to hear about how it worked in delivering nicotine. He even poked his head out into the hallway to bring in some colleagues to see it. His final words to me were, "Well, that's great!"

I believe that anyone who chose to care for people's health because they care about people being healthy should react similarly, otherwise, I would probably consider them willfully ignorant frauds. That's what I love about my doctor. His education in his field didn't stop at his graduation ceremony.

If we get the "4 out of 5 doctors say that e-cigs are the better alternative" We are on our way.

Hey it worked for Trident!

The kiddie angle is getting quite tiresome. Everybody likes flavors! I don't vape tobacco flavor juices. But the FDA will make recommendations in April to take flavors away from e-juice, and just leave tobacco flavor and menthol. No need to worry as it will take time to implement this. But, that's the direction there heading. I'm posting a thread that outlines where the FDA is thinking of moving in April in regards to e-cigs.

As John Dore said while hosting "Funny As He!!", when describing a potential solution to another public health issue...

"We're gettin' fat. We're eating too much fast food, and I bet you that fewer people would eat fast food if, when you pulled up to the drive-through and turned to the speaker, it shot hot ........ into your face."

He then speculated that some people's biggest concern would be just how hot the ........ would be.
