Now, I'm just saying. But idiots who keep smoking, isn't that what we want?
Do the world really need people like that? Let them have their cancer, why argue? it's like like people like that will ever do anything meaningful with their lives anyway.

I respect corrupt politicians or doctors more, I don't agree with them but I understand their motives.
A smoking middle class idiot, the world has plenty of them anyway.

We'll still be able to get mechs, batteries and whatnot, we'll still be able to vape and take care of OUR health, I don't care about their stupid laws, I don't care about them getting cancer. I got my life back, thousands if not millions will get their lives back and see the benefit, and will keep vaping anyway.

Let them have their stupid laws and cancers

Maybe long terms studies will prove vaping is dangerous, maybe we'll drawn in our own blood one day, because of it.
At least we tried to improve our lives, we had the guts, we took a chance, and to me, that's what life is all about.

Mindless idiots will keep being mindless idiots, we're all not so far from being just animals, and the survival of the fittest has always been the rule.

The decision to take on vaping changed my life for the best, when I look at analogs, I find it silly and stupid. Now being silly and stupid, I have one every now and then, but I noticed that I'm having less and less and often throw it after a few puffs.

I know I should stop, I probably end up stopping anyway. But analogs are a trap, I felt like being a slave, and thanks to the ecig, I'm breaking those chains now, I feel empowered, I feel better, I have hope again not to die in great suffering.

Let the idiots die from idiocy, it always has been fairly lethal anyway.

The dumbest thing I've ever heard or read is Doctor Adam Goldstein commenting on the dangers of vaping:

Read more at Doctor: E-cigarettes don't help smokers kick habit :: WRAL.com

That's from about a year ago and I still get a laugh at the absurdity of the article. The rest of the article is just the usual "you should only use approved methods to quit smoking, vaping only works for a small minority of those who have tried to quite etc etc .."

He explained his comment after the website received many complaints........

"I was and remain concerned about potential lung damage when and if the electronic battery overheats or explodes, a situation that has resulted in reports of serious health consequences and damage. I did not mean to imply that such high exposure is routine for users, where temperatures without battery overheating are much less. I apologize for not making this distinction."


So he's worried about inhaling the high temps when a battery explodes?:confused: Claims that's what he was talking about all along. Hmmmmmm, might just be me but something don't right here with his explanation.

Yeah, and you can blow your head off with a cell phone battery exploding too, but we can't go there. That's different, because... well just because.

He clearly backed off on the propaganda he was told to spread by certain private interests. There is an entire industry of such propagandists and some of them make a lot of money on it, paid by certain corporations, and we can all guess which ones.

You could point out that people who wear a nicotine patch are still getting nicotine and wear it all day long. Ask if she thinks THEY are still smokers?

I recently used that point with my older brother who was yelling at me about vaping (I'm 63 years old, he is 72!). He said NRT was for a limited time; I said they had revised their instructions, and a person could use it indefinitely. He didn't budge and didn't want to learn anything, but I'm still vaping. He's just another media blitz victim...
