When analogs do bad...

[crazyass69]

Hi fellow bruddas...

A recent event shocked me so much i knew i had to get back here to vent my frustration...
A dear friend of mine lost his less than 1 month year old daughter recently..
The docs were saying that there was some kind of a bacteria infection that her immune system could not fight against... she sure put up a fight though - Docs predicted 1 week, she fought till a month... but it was a losing battle...

After chatting with my fren,i realise that he being a heavy smoker may have caused somekind of a harm to his daughter in a way too..
Its at times like these where i get so freaking pi**ed with our local situation - here there is a completely safer way that can help to save lives and yet we allow cigarettes to thrive in the market!! Like seriously - isnt this just common sense?

Although i dunno if vaping rather than smoking would have done anything better for the daughter, i'm sure it would not cause as much damage in one way or another to the loved ones around us.

Anyone else who have such real-life incidents to share...?

you gotta find out how much taxes we the smokers are contributing every yr and the answer is obvious.

My condolences to your friend on his loss.

The situation that makes you frustrated, will not end anytime soon, I think.

A lot of us here are ...... off with the situation too.

should we make it a public awareness about the difference in analogs and vaping? thus explaining the issues, claims and questioning the authorities why is it being banned and not the analogs?
debating on their previous reasons on the young would take up this vaping just like smoking analogs?

The official stance from Big Bro is that e-cigs are not sanction by the WHO as a smoking cessation method and it's effect on harm reduction has not yet been proven. Thus it is not allowed to be marketed here.

when you have the same agency policing real tobacco and chemicals, it's damn easy to come up with a general statement that is generally right.

"FOR THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, THE PEOPLE DIE".

My sympathies to your friend. We should count ourselves fortunate to have the right know how.

It is is a sad thing and I feel for you and your friend. I have to agree with Ricky about the current situation though.
