More evidence e-cigs may help in quitting tobacco

It appears the studys are starting to show positive results.

 

[Orb Skewer]

Anyone else at that stage that can see the positive studies are snowballing ? and irrefutable ?

Lets 'hit the ground running' peeps-the next attack to focus on is the free and open sale of E liquid up to the already decades established 'mg' strengths not requiring license, and the creeping cost (stealth taxes) and 'corporate greed' encroaching on a 5 yr old 'market'.

Article came on-line yesterday
and now there's 110 pro-ecig commencements.

Finally some better news. And don't you just love the last paragraph, especially the last sentence:

"There are two products competing for smokers' business," Hajek said. "One kills half the users, the other one is at least an order of magnitude safer," he said. "It makes little sense to try to cripple the safer one so the deadly one maintains the market monopoly."

It's Obvious the ecig community is larger than many of us might even imagine.
A couple years ago ... articles posted in ecig forums spurred on comments.
Today ... we see articles like this one with tons of comments by the time
a member posts the articles.

Today we are seeing positive comments from people who don't even vape,
sharing the positive effects they've seen in the lives of those they know
who have switched to e-smoking.

If the FDA tries any of it's usual monkey business ...
I suggest the the size of push-back will surprise many of us.

I'm guessing that if the market has truly grown to a $2b industry, any outlandish regulation will generate a force meets force battle. A legal stance against said regulations would undoubtedly buy another year or two. That's a lot of time for even more evidence that the product reduces tremendously the risks associated with the product being replaced.

You are right. We are growing many allies outside the vaping community.

Slowly but surely we are adding up.

You bet I love this! It is a statement that takes the fight right to those who say they care about smokers health while trying to ban ecigarettes. All they can really say in response is something along the lines of "But.... the Childreeeennnn!!!".

"But.... the Childreeeennnn!!!".

Ya, well, they are full of lies and deceit. There is a very telling documentary on YouTube. Look it up. It's "Secrets of the Tobacco Industry". Look for the one that's 41 minutes, 42 seconds. Big Baccy is all over youngsters, even toddlers (!) in Indonesia. Verrrrrry interesting--and sickening.

I would post the link, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that here...
