Today’s letters: E-cigarettes will still prove deadly to smokers | Full Comment | National Post

Against the obvious reduction in carcinogens must be calculated the risk that smokers will use e-cigarettes to get themselves through times when they can’t smoke, and that sustaining the hand-to-mouth habit will induce a return to “real” cigarette smoking

ludicrous. an obvious knee jerk position with zero factual basis.

It is probably the most absurd argument these ...... make, and that ain't easy.

Once you get used to electronic cigarettes, and find the flavors that you like, cigarettes start tasting nasty.
Well, at least that is true for most people, with some exceptions of course.

And when that happens, you will absolutely dread the thought of ever going back to smoking death sticks.

So the only way you'll return is...
--If these ...... actually succeed in making it difficult for us to get our electronic cigarettes
--Or if these ...... actually succeed in taking away our flavors

So this stupid scenario can only be fulfilled if they succeed in making it happen by force.
And they don't have the slightest idea how absurd that really is.
