Maine CDC Head states nicotine causes lung cancer

[ennagizer]

Based on everything I've read about smoking, I'm under the impression that it's not the nicotine that causes cancer, but many of the other chemicals found in tobacco smoke.

I was just viewing another news story on the AGs pushing for ecig regulation and the head of the Maine CDC states that nicotine causes lung cancer. View it here and FF to 1:33 to listen to the statement in context of the story: youtube.com/watch?v=3riUHNNKKow

If they keep their BS up, the people with common sense won't believe a word they say. And one of these days they might have something honest to say that could save the world from a fungus amungus. I am so disheartened by our leaders. The last generation was right. I wish I would have listened to my elders...

Store Owner, "I haven't had any minors buy e-cigs from me."

News Reports, "Well this man says he hasn't sold any here to minors, but they must be sold to minors everywhere else!"
