Ecigs vs Analogs

[Esharp]

I found a study that was done in New York State comparing ecigs with analogs. Interesting, but won't come to any surprises for us e-smokers. But, this not what groups like NSRA or CLA are interested in.

Not surprised. Can't wait for more studies to be done in Canada so the suits would just back off

Big pharma is not going to like this
Is it a surprise that some associations seem to ignore studies like these?
Possibly harm reduction is not in their agendas,I often wonder what their agendas are?

Great post thanks for sharing

I'm glad we're starting to see studies like these pop up

The more popular this gets the more they are going to want to take it over and tax the hell out of it. Then after we get accustomed to paying they will push us off to the side and treat us a second class citizens again. I'm happy where it is right now, walking that fine line of "banned" but not enforced. Last thing I want is to have to go to the gas station everyday to buy a pack of cartos, because that is my only choice.

Or where buying some juice and some blanks = roll your own. That is not the direction this should go.

It should never be taxed like cigarettes. The government's justification for high taxes on cigarettes has always been to offset the health care costs, and to encourage people to stop smoking. As far as we know, there is no reason to do those when it comes to ecigs, so how can it be justified?

We're talking about the government here. No justification needed to make more money.

There are only two guarantees in life, death and taxes. The Canadian government has perfected this, death by taxes.
