MMDA exempts ecig from smoking ban (caution unreliable source)

[vocr]

Its funny, I was actually sent to this article because it is so terrible and lacks any coherent reporting or standards. I was encouraged to email the publication's editor in chief and get this reporter fired (which I did so).

However, the part about ecigs being exempted is quoted from an MMDA source:

"According to an MMDA information officer, "Ang mga hinuhuli lang namin ay yung mga gumagamit ng tobacco mismo. Yung e-cigarretes kasi hindi siya harmful sa environment kasi water vapor lang siya." Still in doubt? Call their 24/7 hotline."

So I think, at least, that part of the article can be given some credence.

I would not recommend reading the article, unless you wish to be subjected to totally incorrect facts and terrible reporting, but it is here:

No, I'm not subscribed to their newsletter! This is an underhanded tactic to get your email address when you try to unsubscribe. Not that honest in the ethics department to begin with

Gotta love the translation, "The only catches are the ones the tobacco itself. I e-cigarretes he kasi kasi harmful to the environment water vapor old. "

Nitrosamines is an element that is found in e-cig. A cancer causing element also present in tobaccos. But unlike yosi which makes you vulnerable to the chemical everytime you puff it. E-cigs get you exposed to this dreaded element only when your rechargable yosi breaks in half.

Damn! I hate it when my yosi breaks in half.
