New nicotine product shows ANTZ e-cigarette "hazards" hypocrisy

There are a few countries that have issued warnings or even banned electronic cigarettes for having potential public health hazards in the ingredients. Many use specific reasons as to why e-cigarettes pose such a risk:

Health Canada issued a warning about e-cigarettes stating that the device "delivers a liquid chemical mixture that may be composed of various amounts of nicotine, propylene glycol, and other chemicals. Nicotine is a highly addictive and toxic substance, and the inhalation of propylene glycol is a known irritant."

In the UK, reports state that health minsters claim there is "evidence that certain types of ‘e-cigs’ have high levels of poisonous chemicals. These include ‘tobacco-specific nitrosamines’ - a substance given off by nicotine - which has been shown to cause cancer in rats. Certain brands have also been found to contain Diethylene glycol, a poisonous chemical which is fatal in exceptionally high doses."

Meanwhile, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration tells consumers not to purchase the devices online, because they "may be dangerous, delivering unreliable doses of nicotine (above or below the stated quantity), or containing toxic chemicals or carcinogens, or leaking nicotine. Leaked nicotine is a poisoning hazard for the user of electronic cigarettes, as well as others around them, particularly children."

Why specifically mention policies and statements from these particular countries? Because, while all three have banned, blocked or opposed the sale of e-cigarettes, they have subsequently approved sales of a nicotine product from Johnson & Johnson called "Nicorette QuickMist."

When Obama's FDA reveals their "deeming regulations" ...
Those opposed to e-smoking will have even more ammunition
to add to their present set of lies.

Why am I not surprised this is a Johnson & Johnson product.

Thank you Kristin, bp nicely elevated now, off to flog this among my friends.

I loved the rebuttal in the full article...
"See what I did there?"
Phrase of the day. LOL.

Also interesting to note that J&J sells a "combo kit" with patches and some 2mg gum for those "extra strong" craving times.... then Australia complains that e-cigs "may be dangerous, delivering unreliable doses of nicotine."

Great article. Read through the comments as well, and was nice to see good support from the online community. I specifically enjoy the idea of an e-cig shop. I picture a coffee-shop like atmosphere... being able to sample juices or APV's before buying, (with disposable drip tips of course ^^). Sitting down with a fresh purchase of steeped e-juice, and vaping with friends or complete strangers, much like the e-cig forums.

They have them and I've been to one at Myrtle Beach N.C... www.iVape.net has such a shop!!

Excellent article, but disturbing to say the least.

Something I want to say, and I'm putting it this thread pretty randomly. In this beloved forum, furious Republicans and furious Democrats - liberals, conservatives and all the other political persuasions have been having a good time together without having to sort out who's a friend and who's an enemy and without feeling compelled to assert or defend political views. If this place goes red, blue or turns into a venue where my non-ecig related political convictions (or yours) are getting sniped at en passant during a discussion of what we all care about together, I for one am out of here.
Mods, I wish you'd think about this because the climate nowadays is rancorous for both sides and things can get out of hand pretty fast.
Thanks, and I won't post about this again.
