We (I am a vaper and ex smoker), have suffered the same persecution that those that still smoke tobacco, have and are suffering now. Many vapers, (unlike many smokers), have studied the ANTZ propaganda and position, because we have had a gut full, and will not let them get away with their lies. <br /><br /><br />I personally, (and I'm no orphan vaper here), support the right of people to smoke, or vape, I believe in the rights of people to enjoy bodily autonomy, and not be persecuted for actions that harm no one but themselves, (if indeed they choose to do something which is harmful to themselves, which vaping has not been shown to be). <br /><br /><br />I think the more vapers and smokers that are made aware of the tricks and lies, the better. One thing needs to be very clear though, and that is vaping is not smoking, so of course vapers get annoyed when they are conflated and treated as the same thing, they are not. I do not accept the theory of SHS or THS, I've looked at the evidence and both are simply exaggerations or outright lies, however, I don't think that smoking is benign to the smoker, I know personally many ex-smokers who have improved their own health greatly by switching to vaping, and can prove it. However this does not mean I support the lies of the ANTZ or the persecution of smokers in any way.judenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-32190592831143751322015-01-13T22:23:17.851+00:002015-01-13T22:23:17.851+00:00Honestly did Glantz and Crapman make a trip to Hai...Honestly did Glantz and Crapman make a trip to Haiti and find a few VooDoo witch Doctors and higher them to create research ideas for them............it would appear that's the case.Jack Listerionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-64690439100493546442015-01-13T22:21:18.647+00:002015-01-13T22:21:18.647+00:00Its all been a Chirade.

The Chapman Trick has been pointed out to Siegel numerous times over the last few years but he still plays dumb. In the thread he points out that if “danger” is to be imputed to e-cig vapor, then it should be imputed to pharma products as well. Rather he should be pointing out that the trickery – intended to promote irrational revulsion and outrage – shouldn’t be applied to anything. And, so, the nonsense just goes on and on. Vapers in particular should read the comment by “Shadow Guest” for a background on the Chapman Trick. <br />http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/alaska-health-department-airs-first-pro.html<br /><br /> Most vapers are not familiar with the trick, have lapped up the trick’s use (over decades) on cigarette smoke, and, yet, are now outraged when it’s applied to e-cig vapor.What the....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-1471526487861190922015-01-13T13:11:08.082+00:002015-01-13T13:11:08.082+00:00There’s a useful commentary on the articles above....There’s a useful commentary on the articles above. To save reposting, see the series of comments by “magnetic01” here:<br />http://cfrankdavis.wordpress.com/2014/10/23/the-tobacco-control-mentality/<br /><br /> Antismokers have created an atmosphere for all sorts of deluded, toxic beliefs. Tobacco smoke has been manufactured into a “magic mist” that defies the laws of physics and chemistry and capable of producing all manner of “detrimental effects”, limited only by antismokers’ self-terrified, deranged imagination.<br /><br /> Hindsight over the last 35 years reveals that antismokers <b>are</b> neurotic. They <b>are</b> bigoted. They <b>are</b> “super-sensitive”. They <b>are</b> megalomaniacal. They <b>are</b> dictatorial. They <b>are</b> pathological liars. Antismoking is like a deranged cult whose primary, unquestioned belief is that they never be exposed to tobacco smoke. Not even a whiff, indoors or out. Only more deranged and dangerous is the “authority” (medical) – Public Health - that has enabled/empowered these miscreants.<br /><br /> Antismoking has a very sick, twisted history including torture (nose slitting) and executions (beheading). Give the antismokers<br /> State support and their demands become progressively more absurd and hysterical, and their demands more draconian and inhumane. If one has to pick the deviant – smokers or antismokers<br />– antismokers win hands down; it’s a “no contest”.What the....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-19220100695372803082015-01-13T10:21:15.054+00:002015-01-13T10:21:15.054+00:001.

This is what antismokers believe, and have believed for centuries, regardless of facts.<br /><br /> Antismokers view smoking as a “deviant” behavior. Ergo, smokers are deviant. For example, see:<br /><i>Smoke Gets In Your Eyes: Smoking As A Deviant Behavior</i> (1978)<br />http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/dvz35d00/pdf;jsessionid=7EA70BBD2A44234F27CDF45D28F0F4A1.tobacco03<br /><br /> Then there’s this article attempting to [erroneously] distinguish nonsmokers and antismokers<br /><br /><i>The Distinction Between The Antismoking And Nonsmokers’ Rights Movements</i> (1980)<br /><br /> http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/lqp46a99/pdf;jsessionid=5647F950375B5064AA449F152F20E8C9.tobacco03<br /><br /> This article is interesting because it’s written by nonsmokers’ rights activists. The “bothered nonsmokers” are really antismokers as well. But they attempt to distance themselves from the more militant and even violent antismokers. There are two sorts of antismokers. 1) The mostly<br />prohibitionists (e.g., Godber) want smoking banned everywhere in public, indoors and out. They then have the gall to claim that they don’t want the sale of tobacco banned and that people will still be able to smoke in their own homes. 2) The full prohibitionists seek the complete eradication of tobacco use. They, too, want smoking banned everywhere in public, indoors and out. They eventually also want the sale of tobacco to be banned.What the....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-83049961652217427782015-01-13T09:36:55.317+00:002015-01-13T09:36:55.317+00:00Politicians are good at hypocritical as I reminded...Politicians are good at hypocritical as I reminded my MP. I told her that those politicians who attended the First World War Centennary Memorial were total hypocrites as they had sold down the river those who gave their lives and their health in BOTH World Wars. They fought for our freedom and democracy which politicians in recent decades have thrown away. The so called freedom and democracy politicians say we have is not the freedom and democracy that our brave men and women fought for, it is not even a shadow of it.

In essence, HSE cannot produce epidemiological evidence to link levels of exposure to SHS to the raised risk of contracting specific diseases and it is therefore difficult to prove health-related breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act". The reason the ban was brought in under the Health Act 2006, and not by the HSE, because no proof of harm was needed with the Health Act 2006, and the HSE have to have proof, seems the DM has lost rational thought about anything smoke related. <br /><br />HATE IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTEJack Listerionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-28158659549122627522015-01-13T03:34:02.989+00:002015-01-13T03:34:02.989+00:00Excellent point the many I am sure of good heart d...Excellent point the many I am sure of good heart did march in Paris, emotionally stirred, but a on further questioning, it is very surface and if you dig just a little deeper very hypocritical as compared to many of the same, hating smokers and non-smoking vapers.
