Just watched an article of smoking in hospitals on BBC, they want all smokers to be off any NHS property before lighting up.
Again, the response is to 'quit' as smoking kills one in two.
Reading the daily fail, it is not advertising that's the issue, it is misconception, if the NHS can say to the house of lords that vaping is 1000 x times safer than smoking, then what is really the issue?
Illegal drugs, people still do that, smoking, kids do it underage, alcohol, again, kids still get away with it.
Why oh why are WE the vapers who are living cleaner healthier and happier lives being villified?

The flavours on show, look like a proper B&M shop where i would assume they would be switched on enough to refuse or at least ID potential underagers!

EDIT: if the papers keep putting a negative spin on ecigs, they will make it look dangerous and rebellious and will inevitably push MORE kids towards it as it is seen as cool by being 'evil and dangerous'!

Actually, I agree to some extent with this article. If you think about it ecigs etc' can do things that cigarettes cannot -

1. Sexy advertising on the television
2. Billboard advertising saying how good it is
3. Enticing new flavours
4. Promoting it's low price

I mean, that's partly the reason I and many others tried them in the first place. Granted as a smoker to a vaper rather than a non smoker to a vaper but then these reasons are a hell of a lot more sexy and cool than the reason I first picked up a stinky in the first place.

My reply.......
E-liquid has been scientifically proven MANY TIMES to be 97% harmless, Governments are terrified because they are so successful, and they are losing BILLIONS in tax. This is also why the EU are locked in a secret battle to completely eradicate them. They're even trying to pass a ban on talking about them and close forums that help smokers quit. The proposals were leaked, and now theyre in a panic.
It doesn't help when idiotic, uninformed journalist spout incorrect rubbish, helping these governments and tobacco companies close the cure and continue to collect cash by killing smokers to gain money.
Earl Howe (Con) admits on the govs website "The available evidence is that electronic cigarettes are likely to be substantially less harmful that smoking tobacco cigarettes"
We all know why those in the public eye will not stand up and tell the truth about ecigs. Because the government members are losing their retirement fund!

Personally, I think the paper prints a huge pile of shite and having been the headline in it myself for that very reason, believe me I know. My political beliefs however have feck all to do with my post.

It'd be nice to get your opinion on the OP though........
