Select quotes from article:

"You see, anti-smoking organisations still appear to be wedded to the idea that the only good way to quit is the pharma way to quit. It's the Scrooge 'are there no work-houses?' defence. If you resist recommended methods, then you may as well die doing so and reduce the surplus population."

"The more scary prospect is that the EU - which does possess comprehensive powers - has tabled a new directive which aims to put e-cigs out of business for good. As it stands, the updated tobacco Products Directive (TPD) would make accessories to e-cigs so weak that this new smoking cessation device would be rendered ineffectual overnight.

The million UK vapers cited by the BBC - along with millions more throughout the 26 other member states - would mostly be forced back to tobacco usage, and all those health gains would be lost."

Those opposed to e-cigarettes ... Couldn't care less.

This morning, a psychologist was commenting on the motivations of former LA police officer, Christopher Dorner. He compared Dorner to those who have bombed government buildings "to make a statement." He explained it as having the mindset of "My grudge is more important than your life."

Once you realize that the ANTZ don't seem to be interested in saving lives, you deduce that their main goal appears to be to punish the evil tobacco companies by putting them out of business. That explains why the editor of Tobacco Control refused to attend an FDA meeting where scientists from tobacco companies would be allowed to speak.
