There are more than 10,000 lobbyists in Brussels, all funded by big business to form alliances with bureaucrats and politicians in order to overcharge citizens, claims MEP
Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, it is a 'given'. I do not intend to embark here on my libertarian crusade that we should all be able to go to the devil in our own way. Chips, fizzy drinks, alcohol, tobacco, obesity, lack of exercise, drinking a glass of wine a day, not drinking a glass of wine a day - depending on the fad of the latest medical magazine or what any quangocrat, who worms their way onto breakfast television sofas, says.
For those not in the know on electronic cigarettes, let me run some facts past you. Most of the health damage cigarettes cause is by the combustion in the smoking process. In short it is the smoke that does you harm, not the nicotine. I have spent some time researching this and can find no health scientist who takes a different view. The electronic cigarette takes smoke out of the procedure and replaces the experience of smoking and diminishes the nicotine craving in a similar way to the nicotine patch.
As smokers or ex-smokers will confirm it is the ritual of the procedure not just the nicotine, which encourages the addiction. There is also no scientific dispute as to the amount of nicotine imbibed by either system, it is the removal of smoke that has been the extraordinary breakthrough for those who wish to cut down or abandon the habit altogether. Of course there will be a few zealots reading this who have never smoked or the converts, ex-smokers who are the scourge of every dinner party. But most tolerant right-minded people would agree that this is a huge step forward for society in general.
