Vaping the new Smoking, Lawmakers are hypocrites

[charly1954]

vaping is the new smoking and these hypocrites are afraid that someday vaping will end tobacco use.

Law makers, hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies are all hypocrites, they say they want all smokers to stop smoking.

They know that will never happen so they keep saying it. But in truth they don't want an end to smoking, they're to addicted to tobacco tax revenue, outrages cancer treatment cost, and pills to treat.

I really dislike these blanket statements that claim to know how everyone thinks in a large group of individuals . In this case, several different groups are all lumped together. There's been a number of posts where the poster's doctor has supported their vaping.

That's exactly what I said, allot of Dr's say they are against smoking and pro vaping. But no one can read their internal true thoughts. I guess I should say "SOME" high end Doctors, no including family docs, are the hypocrites.

Example: say you have a Highly paid doctor who specializes in Lung cancer or some other cancer. His business would drastically drop or he would have to change fields if everyone stopped smoking. I also believe someone has found a cure for cancer, but with all the money made from it, its not surfaced. That's being hypocritical.

There are allot of greedy Doctors/Hospitals/pharmaceutical companies out their, you know it I know it everyone knows it. They say we only want to help you, when they're thinking I want to help and be RICH. I had one 2 yrs ago in the ER. ER Doctors bill was $1,025 and Hospital ER bill was $1,200. He tried to charge me $85 for after hours service, his excuse was factory workers get paid extra on 3rd shift. Now that's a greedy Doctor.

I take it your in the medical field. I didn't read anything about you defending lawmakers or Pharm. Companies who may be pro vaping. I lumped them in a bundle with Doctors.

Bluntly, doctors do want to help, but they also want to stay RICH and make the BIG BUCKS. Vaping will cut down cancer victims which will cut down profits for doctors, hospitols, tax revenue, and Pharm. Companies.

I'm not really on the same page with you here. While I would agree that the corporate medical establishment may be more concerned with their bottom line than they should be, I disagree that your average doctor wants to keep his/her patients sick. I just don't see that. The doctors I know work harder than ever. My doctor for example, lets her patients know where they can find medications that they need at a lower cost, even if it means going out of her network or even out of the country. As for their being one cure for all cancer that has been buried, I find that highly unlikely. Each form of cancer responds to different treatments, they are not all the same and if a drug company had "the cure" you don't think they would patent it? They could make more money than God. That just doesn't make any sense.

I didn't say there was no corruption. There is obviously corruption in government and medicine. I just dislike when people make blanket statements about "they" Give me particulars. No, I'm in education not medicine.

The real problem is that special interest groups have WAY too much power. Until we get their money our of politics, we're gonna have issues. And now that MONEY=SPEECH, we're farther away from that than ever before.

The AMA, Lung Association, Heart Association, as well as a few others may be more fitting of being in the "Hypocrite Club" with politicians and pharmaceutical companies.

This is true. There have been some encouraging comments from some Doctors.
The problem lies in the fact that if the doctor is affiliated with a clinic or hospital
in many cases the Doctor is contractually obligated to promoting what ever the
clinic's or hospitals point of view is. This may and sometimes does include recommending
one treatment or drug over another. Although I am sure a Doctor can over rule
any restrictions or limitations imposed if in the best interest of his patient, most
will follow the recommendations and practices of their peers. Most good Doctors
spend their time keeping up with developments in their own specialties and rely
on peer consensus. As it becomes more and more evident that vaping is not going
to be causing any where near the harm smoking does this will change over time.

As long as big P runs the fda, there will be no "miracle" (safer alternatives) breakthrough advancements allowed anytime soon, why would they ?
