Why is Info on Nicotine on E Cig Wiki Page All Negative?

[MikeDeason]

It's all negative. Nicotine has some positive benefits.

Electronic cigarette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Write a new one, whoever wrote it is probably anti smoking, therefore anti-nicotine

Nicotine, an addictive substance. Addiction comparable to (auto censored drug's name) Not much upside there.

I haven't read the wiki on the subject. Just sayin'.

Yeah, what mister kil said, if you've got positive ... post it.

We're nicotine slaves. Not a good thing, IMO.

Read the e cig wiki page...it's a rant on nicotine. Nicotine is not nearly as harmful as they claim period.

I didn't say it was harmful. It is, needless to say, highly addictive. That, in itself is harmful.

In leaner times, I would've chosen cigarettes over food, or transportation ... truth be known, probably over sex. That's not a good thing.

To argue that smoke is bad, yes, absolutely. Smoke and tar = bad. Nicotine, not so bad. But, it is the drug which makes people keep inhaling the bad stuff.

I haven't read the wiki on nicotine, and I will do so, now. I just thought you were coming across like there was a good aspect to nicotine. I don't see that.

==================

EDIT: I'm having some trouble finding the article you're referring to. Care to provide a link?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette
I see this there ...

The American Association of Public Health Physicians has stated that the electronic cigarette is at least a thousand times less hazardous to human health than regular cigarettes, and supports legalization

 

[MikeDeason]

Not the wiki on nicotine the wiki on e cigs with the nicotine section. Very biased.

What do you base this on?

 

[MikeDeason]

The fact that the wiki page on e cigs has a bunch of nonsense about nicotine.

 

[zoiDman]

Anything in Particular or do you think it is all rubbish.

To clear up confusion, is the OP referring to this page? Nicotine - E-Cigarette Wiki It appears not to have been edited since 2008.

Edit: Oops sorry--I see he did link to Wikipedia, but the thread title suggested otherwise.
