What do anti-tobacco zealots do when they retire?

Now only the long time warriors in this battle for e cigs may remember big John Banzass, but I just saw this and, after reading it, couldn't avoid posting it here-

Redskins radio license challenged, team name called 'profanity,' 'hate crime' | WashingtonExaminer.com

I don't know if he's retired, but apparently his TC checks are drying up so he's off to greener pa$ture$.

Banzhaf!! Wow, I haven't heard that name in years!

Well at least it looks like he's found more constructive uses of his time ha ha!

Hm...
Are you sure that guy is not addicted?
Addicted to attacking others?
Addicted to spouting ridiculous nonsense?

Now, I bet Big P has just the pills to cure his addiction. NRT. Nonsense Replacement Therapy.

Oh, my favorite comment under that article:

Redskins, that's no problem: It's the WHITE HOUSE that offends me

Oh, my favorite comment under that article:

You notice that when Washington got a new baseball team, they didn't go back to the traditional name, "Washington Senators". That would have been degrading to the players. Teams like to be associated with the fearless and strong..

Stanton Glantz will change his name to Stanton ANTZ and go on to writing the acclaimed studies,"Adverse Effects Of Air On The Head" and "Cigars,The Devils Tool"

He's already been shot down a few times. Glutton for punishment?

“The ultrafine particles that cigarettes (and e-cigarettes) deliver have substantial adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.” (reference: Institute of Medicine. Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Cardiovascular Effects: Making sense of the Evidence. 2009. Also see Barnoya J, Glantz S. Cardiovascular effects of secondhand smoke: nearly as large as smoking. Circulation 2005 May 24;111(20):2684-98 and Grana RL, Benowitz N, Glantz SA. E-cigarettes: a scientific review. Circulation 2014 May 13;129(19):1972-86. doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.114.007667.)

Response
The same studies were again cited in the second argument, with the addition of the latest review on e-cigarettes. However, this is a direct mis-presentation of evidence, since there is not even a single study indicating that particles emitted from e-cigarettes represent a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Or, in the immortal words of Dr. Farsalinos:

Common sense, not any citation, is needed to understand that water vapor particles do not contribute to cardiovascular disease
