Put down that E-cigarette!

[riddle80]

Sorry if this has already been referenced. I'd posted about E-cigarettes in another forum and someone posted this blog in the thread. It's pretty harsh.

I've replied but I suspect that it won't be posted The internet is full of information, most of it plain wrong.

...I thought everything on the internet was fact! You just caused my tiny world to collapse around me 8-o lol

what a complete toolbox. be interesting to see if Summer Johnson PhD allows the counter comments s/he will no doubt be receiving in spades from our little community here.

what's up with the:

It turns out that no nicotine delivery device is good for you

and then below, the ad for "nicopass"

I think they should of had it printed in the Sunday Sport.

To those who don't know the Sunday Sport it is a newspaper that is full of half naked women and if you used it to wipe ur backside more c**p would come off the paper!

I think when someone comes across a post or a blog that is COMPLETELY wrong like this one someone should post it here .. and EVERYONE post a comment on that blog... about how incorrect the person is...

 

[TropicalBob]

Then create a special place for them. I read about five crappy blogs entries every day on e-smoking. None should be reposted, IMO. Certainly not in the heavily trafficked sections of this forum.

This one rises above normal "me think" blog entries, however.

Still, we have a crisis in Australia in this very section and we're devoting energy to one idiot's thoughts in a few paragraphs of a blog! Look at how many "guests" are visiting e-cigarette-forum daily. Do we really want them reading those junk thoughts, or would we rather they discovered consensus opinion by reading about here?

 

[Rockbassray]

I agree with you TB, but we as users and suppliers of E-cigs need to be aware of the naysayers.... to Ravage and push them out of well being.. We need to Rise up and shout!!!! now CHARGE!!!!!

...and then the person will understand how incorrect she had been, and reform and tell everybody reading her blog of her stupidity. "Riiiiight".

I posted the following, lets see if they post it? I am getting so freakin sick and tired of people and the world ragging on smokers. And when we do try to be safer for ourselves and those around us we are STILL persecuted. Here is what I posted:

"Do the facts. These are a much safer ALTERNATIVE to smoking. Allowing the user to be safer, not quit. Get your facts right jackass and stop putting down smokers. What happen to freedom? It's our choice to smoke. And if we choose to try and make it healthier for us and those around us, maybe you can give kudos instead of harassment."


<sigh>

 

[TropicalBob]

I agree, Rockbassray. And I've posted vicious stuff in public discussions following some news stories. I'll fight with any poster who has no knowledge about e-smoking and just wants all resemblance to tobacco smoking gone from the planet.

Education about e-smoking will be difficult, but must be done.

P.S. Er, calling someone jackass won't help us.

AHHGGGRRRR #$$%%^^$# This really piss's me off, man I'd like to beat that guys .... We will see if he posts my comment

 

[solution42]

I think you have a great point there TropicalBob, these negative blog reports are obviously going to become more numerous as this issue gets more exposure. Having a seperate section of this forum dedicated to them, and labeled as such, would help filter them from what should in essence be a positive e-vaping/smoking/fogging/inhaling discussion area.

Then create a special place for them. I read about five crappy blogs entries every day on e-smoking. None should be reposted, IMO. Certainly not in the heavily trafficked sections of this forum.

I would suggest just giving a short summary (indeed in a seperate place or thread), plus a link as in 'work to be done boys and girls here, go there and do your jobs'.

Because reposting their blogs here, just gives their thoughts more hits on the search-machines... leading to US as having those negatives on our forums... something we don't really want?

Sorry Kate, I'll behave in the future, I'm off now to David Icke's site to read about the reptilians

We have to Be smart and stay smart.. bad mouthing puts us and the concept at a lower level.... Think of ourselves as teachers ... rather then kids with a cool toy.

It's pretty unfundamented for a PhD author
He's citating the "malaysian study" claims for undeclared poisons in liquids which is not open published like in good scientfic practice or has anyone found a link to the full document?
Well, anyone who knows the culture in this region around Indonesia e.g. knows they hate Chinese people and everything coming from them.

The guerilla non-smoker fraction
They don't want to see anything that only looks like a cigarette
