Here is a wonderful article I saw in a paper in Indonesia today... they're trying to fight ecig cause of course they can't tax it...
Some moments of this article even made me laugh....
Opinion of those who had been declared an electric cigarette healthier than regular cigarettes proved wrong. Head of Drug and Food Control Agency of RI Kustantinah explains, electric cigarettes as dangerous as regular cigarettes burned.
The content of propylene glycol, Dieter glycol and glycerin as solvent proved nicotine can cause cancer.(lol PG is a dangerous solvent.... what they don't say is that is the product they use the most to enhance the taste of their food here....)
'Perhaps people think cigarettes contain nicotine electric only, and if cigarettes are other ingredients,' said Chief BPOM Kustantinah RI in Jakarta,
Kustantinah have explained in an electric cigarette nicotine liquid with a solvent propylene glycol, glycerin or glycol Dieter. If nicotine and a solvent is heated it will produce nitrosamines. "This nitrosamine compounds that cause cancer."
Kustantinah added, all electric cigarettes that circulate in Indonesia is illegal and dangerous to health. Around the world, he also revealed that no single country that approved the electric cigarette. Even in some countries such as Australia, Brazil and China electric cigarette is prohibited.
"Though China is finding an electric cigarette in 2003. However, China's government has banned its circulation," he explains.
For that BPOM with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Industry and Trade Ministry will examine more deeply about the electric cigarette. "Electronic Cigarette will never registered, approved and will be banned in Indonesia," he said.
Food and Drugs Supervisory Agency (BPOM) not get a clear clarification on the content and the content of electronic security products or Electronic cigarettes Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS), which is now circulating illegally in the community, but BPOM rate this product as dangerous to the native tobacco products general.
"Until now both BPOM and the Ministry of Health has not been able to control the circulation of these products. To conduct supervision ideally there are two things that must be considered, namely the contents contained in the products and manufacturers who make and be responsible for its content, this product does not have the requirements, "said Director of Drugs Control Agency for Food and Drug Administration (BPOM), Danardi Sosrosumihardjo, in the building Kemenkes Jakarta, Friday (6 / 8).
According to him, until now no one any country ratifying this product as official goods, including in Indonesia, where illegal circulation of people and offer per-person. So that wherever there is no guarantee the product is safe to use, because there is no official distributors. (So what they mean is ... the product is not gonna be dangerous anymore if they can distribute it officially... meaning taxing it.... stupid people....)
In addition, he said, has not been studied exactly, but he considered the dangers of the product is the same with cigarettes. Although there is the label that writes the word "Healthy". "People should not be fooled healthy words on the label, because cigarette smoking is as dangerous to the original," he said.
In some countries such as China, Singapore, Thailand, Uruguay, Australia and Brazil has already ban on the sale of electric cigarette product, while in Indonesia this product have circulated in some areas such as Semarang, Palembang, Surabaya, Lampung and Makassar.
Electronic Cigarettes are also known as E-Cigarett. This product is marketed under various names such as electric cigarette, ecigaro, electro smoke, green and smartsmoker CIG. The product is also claimed as an alternative for someone who wants to quit smoking, while not harming others (passive smoking) but remains as dangerous with cigarette usual.
I also found another article a while ago... in which they were saying that Allah said that ecigarette is bad because it's not the fruit of earth... Enjoy Indonesia full of crapness.....
