Just had to post this...

So my mother sends me this article today......so many things wrong with this. But keep in mind that this doc is 100%, in my opinion, a quack. Anyways I just find its funny my mother sees this garbage and is like "oh those e cigs are worse than regular ones." Anyways below is the link. Have a nice laugh. Oh the horror....they are poising kids and people are smoking metals.

LINK: (rebuild) goo .gl/Nvud4W

ARTICLE TITLE: "Poisonings from e-cigarettes and synthetic {OTHER STUFF} are surging"

A few months ago I used to find these types of articles funny because of the absurdity of them.
Now I see them and I just get ....... Because not only are they garbage propaganda with garbage agendas, but also because seemingly thousands of ignorant folks are spoon fed this garbage and then regurgitate it back to other ignorant folks and when it's all said and done? We Vapers are portrayed as demons and degenerates and willingly ignorant or self abusive and only out to harm the general public and their precious babies.

I agree 110%.

This annoys me more than it entertains me.

These articles are so irritating. I got my mother in law down to 5 cigarettes per day, as opposed to 2 packs a day via vaping, and then she read a bunch of these articles. She's back to 2 packs per day now. This is having a direct, negative effect to her health. She suffers from macular degeneration, and the smoke is speeding the process that is making her go blind. Yet, she now believes that she is being healthier by smoking over vaping. She's also lecturing us on the dangers of vaping, even though my husband and I are seeing the health benefits first hand. No one needed antibiotics this winter in our family. We are both able to chase the kids for longer. We both feel better then we have in years. Even the kids have been sick less, and we never smoked in the house. We DO vape in the house. The e-liquid is treated like household cleaners and prescription medication. Kept out of reach of the children. Unless we're also going to ban household cleaners, medication, electrical outlets, steak knives, etc... for the sake of the children, why treat e-liquid like it's deadlier to them then any of that?

What is this web site? Looks like the National Inquirer.

My mom was a smoker way back in the day....before I was born. For as long as I can remember she has been a hardcore anti-tobacco person (all forms). To make mattes worse, she takes what this quack doctor says as gospel. I just told her to read some actual scientific literature and not some guy regurgitating claims that can't be supported via good research. I pointed her to this biomed paper that was published in April I believe. And all of Dr. Farsalinos' research. To be honest, I doubt she will read it and change her mind though. But ultimately what gets me is the fear-mongering. It's a terribly useful tool....

This article tells me all I need to know about this website.

Many Parents Are Now Aware of Dangerous Vaccine Side Effects

The link between vaccines and autism has been debunked several times over. This website is making money via regurgitating garbage science that falls in line with current health fads.

in the "story at a glance" there was one thing that jumped out at me...

Although not completely without risk, real ........ has a wide range of proven therapeutic benefits, including ......ing cancer growth and protecting your brain, and is free of virtually any fatal risks.

seems funny to me that anyone with this enlightened attitude would associate themselves with total B.S.


ooops...forgot you can't say the C or P words here. LOL!

 

[JoppaRoadCruiser]

Lol...I also like how they reference the group Americans for Non Smokers Rights (ANR). Wow.

good suggestion.

 

[JoppaRoadCruiser]

Dude sells tanning beds on his website...should tell you plenty about this fellow.

Oops should I just edit out the link? I apologize if I broke any rules.

You didn't break any rules.

Oops should I just edit out the link? I apologize if I broke any rules.

No need to edit it out. Just put a space in there somewhere so it won't work as a clickable link. Like before the .com or something.

From the article: "One of the problems unique to e-cigarettes is how easy it is for anyone to smoke them(...)". Yep. Way easier than buying a pack of cigs and a lighter... /sarcasm

No matter how bogus this is, it saddens me that someone is bound to believe it. It saddens me even more than some want to believe it to keep up their smoking habit.

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

It's just good practice not to send people to websites you don't agree with. They make money via advertisments, and the number of hits their site gets affects the amount of money they make. I'm actually guilty of this myself a few posts back. That site is like a train wreck though. It's awful, but I can't tear my eyes away.

 

[JoppaRoadCruiser]

Done...I just put the space after http. If I did it after .com it still left it partially clickable.

LOL! I told her that was the only part I didn't disagree with.

Wouldn't even credit it with the term 'science' ... it's just junk.
