First and only comment ... so far

Will we ever see the day the the government pushers of NRT and those "alleged caring individuals" in public health ever tell the truth about these products? The facts speak for themselves. Here is a product which is safer than cigarettes but we are still hearing calls to ban it! This is the one product which works for most people yet those in "public health game" are committing malpractice by telling you it's safer to smoke than to use a e-cig. SHAMEFUL!

Nicoventures.....thats an interesting development.

And whos to bet, if pharma style approval is nessasary in a given country, now that the situation is predicted to keep growing (e-cigs), thats exactly when big tobbaco and pharma will jump in.

It almost seems inevitable now, their eventual involvement. Lets just hope that most places keep e-cigs as a "tobacco product", so that it just needs regulation and not expensive approval processes.

It initially seems paranoid the cries of "follow the money", but these things almost always seem to end up in a situation where either the big boys take over, or only the small ones who grew fast enough can keep up.

E-cigarettes: a US $2 billion global industry – who should be worried?

Actually, WHO is worried, and has been ever since e-cigarettes hit the market. WHO is advocating all-out banning of e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes throw a monkey-wrench into their carefully planned dream of a tobacco-free world.

If the world learns that nicotine, per se, is not an extremely dangerous deadly drug, and allows e-cigarette use to flourish, the world might find out that some tobacco products are no more hazardous than coffee-drinking.

Well ...
In my opinion, E-cigarettes are here to stay
and WHO is just going to have to live with it !!!
:p

The truth about nicotine advances with the snow-balling popularity of E-cigarettes.
Ya can't talk about e-smoking without proclaiming the truth about nicotine.
:)

Message for WHO and all those opposed to e-smoking ...
Go into the bathroom and shut the door and tell it to the person in mirror.
We don't want to hear your lies and propaganda anymore !!
:p

That's equivalent to a blockbuster drug for a pharmaceutical company. However, instead of a single corporation taking the profits, they are being divided among many entrepreneurs. That's just not the way the world is supposed to work these days. Isn't the goal one massive corporation controlling all products and services downsized to the executive offices?

If that is true its totally delusional.

Look at the war on drugs as an example. They cant keep drugs out of maximum security prisons, let alone society by simply legislating against things.

The only proven and logical way to effectively manage illegal drug harms, historically and statistically, is to offer and promote lower harm, less addictive alternatives (ie harm min).

Smoking being pretty heavily addictive, the same is going to be true there.

Theres been nicotine found in ancient egyptian mummies. Its been going on just a little while.

....

....


Public health agencies like WHO, i swear are going to get their .... spanked one day for "malpractice".

I mean theyve been promoting this anti-fat agenda for awhile, and during the last 50 year period where everyone has been switching to vegetable oils and higher carbohydrates and dietary fat consumption has statistically gone down alot, heart disease has at the same time skyrocketed off the charts.

Now they are talking smack about a harm min alternative to smoking (which everyone knows is a proven carcinogen)

Eventually, theres going to be a legion of people lined up with cancer and heart disease and a load of other nasty stuff and theyll be pointing the finger at agencies like WHO primarily, whove actively steered the public towards fatal diseases based on bad science and moral puritanism.

It actually seems very likely to me, after all, they are just dishing out the health advice like lollies at a lolly scramble, and much of it seems terrible. People are going to die.

Seems like its just a matter of time before it all winds up in court.

Yes, it's true:

WHO | World Health Organization

Read the slogan on this page: 15th World Conference on Tobacco or Health (WCTOH) 2012

The Conference started out as the Conference on Smoking and Health

Then it changed to Conference on Smoking or Health

Finally, it morphed into the Conference on Tobacco or Health.


And the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco's annual conference had this as its slogan:
“Mission Possible – Towards a Tobacco-Free Society”

Each member of the FDA's Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee is also a member of one of the above organizations. What does that tell you about the FDA's plans to "regulate" tobacco products?
