Janet Street Porter tells us all she knows about e-cigarettes - Friday's Independant

[LilyRed]

Dear Janet, I once thought I might have had a minute smidgeon of respect for you, but now I find even that has gone ...

She also tells us that her sister died from smoking related causes - 'so she knows where she's coming from' - Sadly Janet, had she known about and used PVDs /e-cigs, she'd still be here and able to tell you where to get off ...

Brilliant eh? A gobby, attention seeking has been, who has obviously glanced for half a second at a bullshit Glantz press release and now thinks she's an expert on vaping.

Of course, all she's doing long term is eroding her own credibility. As the truth about vaping continues to spread (and it will.. despite the attempted media assassinations, they can't stop word of mouth) idiots like her will just be regarded as the small minded gobshites that they are.

I think you should say what you really feel Steff, I hate see it when you hold back like this :-)

Another one off my Xmas list. Her subtle hint about the mildness of ecstasy kind of says it all...

The Government has been equally dilatory over e-cigarettes, even though it gets very exercised about drugs like ecstasy and ketamine (just found to be very useful in treating depression, used in very small quantities) – moving them up the rankings and increasing penalties for use.

JSP tells Andy all the things he doesn't know about e-cigs.

Aye, but I wouldn't want to ruin my air of demure sophistication by ranting would I?

(ahem)

ok i agree with some points like the 18 classification(not gonna stop the kiddies though) and vaping in public places.
BUT taxation to bring it inline with tobacco is a fucking stupid idea,her sister died from smoking related illness but i bet the constant tax increases on tobacco didn`t alter her smoking habbit.
all the sky high taxation is gonna do is push people to get their liquid from shady dealers or push them back to tobacco.

I am amazed at that article, I thought Janet Street Porter to be a fairly intelligent women?

<sub>"E-cigarettes might be touted as an aid to quitting smoking, but they won’t stop users from getting wrinkles" I'm sorry, WHAT?

"The NHS says that compared with regular cigarettes, the e version is the lesser of two evils. I disagree." So she think e-cigarettes are more dangerous than real cigarettes?

"Doctors may say that e-cigarettes will prevent deaths, but at what cost?" WTF!

"Are some addictions more acceptable than others?" YES!</sub>

This should all just be ignored, any sane person can see she is an attention seeking tramp, always has been, always will!

If controversy is to be had, JSP will be there!

My view is that Janet Street-Porter's mouth must have been a perfectly good arsehole until God put teeth in it. Pathetic harridan!
