The View from Cullingworth: Quote of the day - from ASH on vaping and renormalising smoking

 

[NorthOfAtlanta]

Love this quote:

"There are people in the public health community who are obsessed by e-cigarettes. This idea that it renormalizes smoking is absolute bull..... There is no evidence so far that it is a gateway into smoking for young people."
And this quote isn't from a pro-vaping lobby group but from Deborah Arnott, Chief Executive of Action on Smoking and Health - ASH - the granddaddy of anti-smoking groups.

It makes me think we will win in the long run as the truth is hard to hide.

I have no doubt that AndriaD will like your post.
And while I agree, I wonder how long can the truth be buried.

I guess we're all going to find out.
Eventually.

It's not so much about 'how long the truth can be buried', but about how long the deceivers can hide behind their curtain of lies. It's a subtle, but important difference.
The curtain draws back a bit every day.

Okay, so I guess it's more of a two-pronged issue then...

How long can the truth be buried through mainstream media complicity...
And how long can the liars keep on lying...

But it does seem to me to be more about the former than the latter.
Because without the former, the latter would not survive.

The chicken or the egg, I guess.
