The prohibitionist's dilemma

There's a very revealing quote from the 'policy and advocacy director' (ie. chief lobbyist) at Queensland's Cancer Council in this story that .... Puddlecote picked up. He's talking about e-cigarettes:

"This was a problem we didn't have a number of years ago. It's a real frustration for those of us working in public health because it wasn't even on the horizon a number of years back.

"It's something we're just better off without."​


This tells you a lot about the mentality of the anti-smoking crusade. Consider the following scenario.

never mind that these prohibitionists are in Australia. We all know - or should be aware - that the tobacco Control prohibitionists of WHO tobacco Control sing the same song worldwide.

(Hey, I am from Germany. Home of the infamous WHO tobacco Control female who is housed at the cancer research facility DKFZ. The one who brought us the infamous lie that "glycerine is [allegedly] an oil and [thus allegedly] causes lipoid pneumonia". Of course, glycerine is an alcohol and can NOT cause lipoid pneumonia upon inhalation. That crap went all over the world, including the US. See Michael Siegel, he picked it up. )

Here is the story from .... Puddlecote:

Painting Lipstick On A Pig

....

We're into a new year, but the tobacco control industry is still desperately painting lipstick on their pig of a theory that e-cigs are dangerous.
Cancer Council policy and advocacy director Paul Grogan (snork - DP) said Queensland was leading the way in recognising the potential harm of e-cigarettes.
Mr Grogan said precautions to protect the community's health had to be a priority.

"There's a lot of confusion out there around electronic cigarettes," he said.

By 'confusion', he means that people are not listening to the lies he and other pretend 'public health' troughers like him retch up.

Without long term evidence on the effect of e-cigarettes on health, the Cancer Council urged people to be cautious.
"This was a problem we didn't have a number of years ago. It's a real frustration for those of us working in public health because it wasn't even on the horizon a number of years back.
"It's something we're just better off without."

Apparently, a product which has led to approximately 700,000 people in the UK quitting smoking is something the tobacco control industry would be "better off without". The "frustration" is that they see smokers slipping through their fingers and not suffering from the state-funded hatred they have spent years constructing. It's not about health with these guys, you know.

Grogan and his ilk don't seem very bright to me, and are destroying their credibility with every daft pronouncement they make. You see, they have spent decades repeating one lie after another about tobacco - mostly to populations which are willing to buy into it because they're not keen on the smell - and think that the same approach is going to work with e-cigs.

It won't.
