Tobacco Companies' Strong Warnings on E-Cigs Raise Eyebrows

[xpl0it]

U.S. tobacco companies are putting strong health warnings on their e-cigarettes, much to the surprise and skepticism of critics.


The warnings are voluntary and are seen by some experts as a way to reduce the companies' legal liability or to enhance their reputations, The New York Times reported.

apparently we now have "experts" in "e-cigarette advertising"? How do these guys get away unchallenged with labeling themselves experts?

Tobacco companies would be perfectly happy if vaping disappeared tomorrow. Vape purchases are exploding and at the same time cigarette sales are tanking. The tobacco executives can put 2+2 together even if the FDA cannot. If they can do anything to discourage the acceptance of vaping they will.

Replace BT with BG and the sentence is still true, 60% of cigarette sales are taxes.

It's always fun trying to explain this simple and self-evident truth to a member of the "e-cigs are a tobacco industry conspiracy meant to lure children into smoking" crowd.

The Tobacco Industry, the champions of public health and well being. I'm so glad they're on our side.

Replace Big Tobacco and Big Government with Big Pharma and it is still true.
Or Big Tobacco Control (ANTZ) for that matter.

Vaping is a game changing technology that is widely despised by everyone who has skin in the game.
Except of course us, the users of said products, who are nothing but addicted losers who should have no say in the matter.
