Let's face it, what government is going to be happy about losing £billions in tobacco taxes (+ MSA Agreements in the US), with people living longer and to a usurper like ecigs, which are also a huge threat to the mighty pharmafia and their wealthy shareholders, all their pals in the health charities and huge numbers of research groups? Whilst the tobacco companies have the ability to compete and their ultimate aim, with eager assistance from all of the above, is clearly to own the ecigs monopoly - without the addictive qualities of MAOIs in cigarettes, ecigs are far easier to relinquish should vapers wish. Of course, it's in the interests of all these people and organisations to prevent kids taking up ecigs; not for their health, but to ensure new generations of smokers, to warrant the continuance of grants, to protect jobs and ensure tobacco taxes continue without too much hindrance. Governments need them all to justify ecig defacto bans for them and meanwhile,TC just play at tobacco control, without actually doing much harm; plain packaging shows just how desperate they are getting to come up with new ideas. If they were serious about killing smoking, they wouldn't allow many of the ingredients that go into machine made cigarettes and especially those MAOIs that are the main cause of strong addiction and given the many ethical studies available, they would all be supporting ecigs wholeheartedly. They all treat smokers and vapers like sh*t - that's what parasites do!Lollylulubesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-3211941443848680742015-06-17T11:50:21.938+01:002015-06-17T11:50:21.938+01:00It's at least nice when to parts of the same N...It's at least nice when to parts of the same Narrative seem to be at odds about ends.jmshighamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-15976688366346418742015-06-17T10:12:09.940+01:002015-06-17T10:12:09.940+01:00I think I boobed with the links so click on the Ra...I think I boobed with the links so click on the Radio Merseyside interview from the first list/link.Rojeansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-25749150468384520682015-06-17T10:05:05.854+01:002015-06-17T10:05:05.854+01:00Last month I had the pleasure of sitting in a BBC ...Last month I had the pleasure of sitting in a BBC radio station's studio alongside one Robin Ireland. Here he is being lambasted by Chris Snowdon http://www.hegroup.org.uk/media-resources blob:https%3A//www.youtube.com/ec96b82e-a826-434f-9a39-4531b0fd897b Robin, along with his chums at JMU had conducted a survey (which made it to the media) based on 16,000 kids. the survey revealed that a small percentage of 13-17 year olds were using e-cigs. when asked how many of these kids were actually vaping with nicotine, he revealed that the survey hadn't ascertained that aspect. Still, he recieved his research money, so that's alright init!Rojeansnoreply@blogger.com
