BBC News - Electronic cigarettes - miracle or menace?

 

[Fiamma]

I get so tired of the people saying they should be banned because "they look like smoking". Pure zealotry.

Trust me we are winning.

The coporate ..... media are scared and know they are losing, so thats whey there are so many anti ecig articles lately.

Lets keep bombing the comments with facts and beat these crooks!

Edit - Actually this article looks like a fairly well balanced article. No so much anti or pro, just discussing the latest news.

Quote from the article

"I would either take them off the shelves or I would very heavily regulate them so
that we know the contents of each e-cigarette were very fixed," says Dr Nathanson.

 

[Bill Godshall]

This article (and its title) is a huge step forward, as John Britton has presented his best argument for e-cigs to date.


"Nicotine itself is not a particularly hazardous drug," says Professor John Britton, who leads the tobacco advisory group for the Royal College of Physicians.

"It's something on a par with the effects you get from caffeine.

"If all the smokers in Britain stopped smoking cigarettes and started smoking e-cigarettes we would save 5 million deaths in people who are alive today. It's a massive potential public health prize."

And the word "miracle" is in its title. Also, most readers of news articles never get past the first half of the article (so they'll never read Nathanson's absurd claims).
