Queensland Health's Sophie Dwyer wins the stupidest comment ever award, give the lady an Ego

[IanK1968]

QUEENSLAND Health has issued a warning about the dangers of e-cigarettes after seizing more than 70 packages at Brisbane Airport in the past month.

The e-cigarettes, advertised on the internet as a way to quit smoking, contain vials of liquid nicotine, which can be fatal if used inappropriately.
Queensland Health's Sophie Dwyer said liquid nicotine was classed as a Schedule 7 dangerous poison under the Australian Standard for Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons.
"The e-cigarettes are being misleadingly marketed as a safe alternative to cigarettes and as an aid in withdrawal from tobacco smoking - but this is not the case," Ms Dwyer said.


Heres the stupidest comment ever.

"There is no evidence e-cigarettes are effective in helping people to quit smoking."

noooo everything from big pharma is safe if used inappropriately. Its when used as directed its fatal lol. I wonder if these people realize how stupid they sound when they talk. Of course they probably dont listen to themselves either.

What scares me is most believe what these people say!

Are they going to seize water shipments now?

Because it "can be fatal if used inappropriately"

 

[MasterofChaos]

As a public service, I think we should compile a list of things that "can be fatal if used inappropriately".

I'll start:

Water
Air
A Rock
My Basset Hound
Love
Toilet Paper

Please feel free to chime in, in the interests of keeping people safe!

Who even advertises ecigs as a safe alternative? I've never seen it any website say it's safe in absolute terms.

Moreover, to say it contains "liquid nicotine" is disingenuous at best. First of all, "liquid nicotine" implies is 100% pure, when the reality is the liquid is typically only 2% nicotine. Second of all, you can get no nic juice... so no, ecigs do not "contain vials of liquid nicotine."

Drives me crazy how they say these companies aren't allowed to spin the truth and say ecigs are safe, and are smoking cessation products, but it's prefectly ok to spin the truth the other way around and say they are dangerous (or just as bad as analogs), contain liquid nicotine, and that there's no evidence that they help with tobacco withdrawal.

 

[IanK1968]

but dont you know analogs are a much safer alternative to E-Cigs. :Shakes head and face palm:

You know, it amazes me how these beaurocrats can spew off a bunch of half truths and whole lies without even researching the product. I wish we can go on TV and start spewing off a bunch of lies and consider them facts. Do these people just make stuff up as they go along? How can TV stations get away with broadcasting this garbage without first researching the product themselves. Have both sides of the story. Guess we need Dateline or 20/20 for that.
