Should e-cigs be banned? poll in daily mirror

[Cotton Mouth]

Absolutely NO! Normal ciggy's cause more damage, so they'll have to go too!

 

[Caroline]

No way better than smellies any day

 

[wilko]

"No" Now at 70%

 

[Chegs]

No 70% yes 30%

Read the thread through,can't see we missed anything off the ban list (apart from squirrels )

This attention grabbing scaremongering excuse for media gets my goat......

How about comparing the incidents of fires with "real" smoking then?? hmmm?

what about non e-cig related charger induced fires...

And why are we not addressing the real problem? F@#king stupid incompetent people who don't know their arse from their elbow who think that they can plug any old thing into any old thing??

I charge my stuff properly - always charge during the day when I can observe for problems - NEVER charge anything except my phone during the night - And I even try and avoid doing that too..

And there are other things to be concerned about - like my stupid 12 year old son deciding it would be a good idea to set fire to a tissue in the living room - burning his hand - bricking his pants and running upstairs leaving my eldest daughter to smell the smoke and prevent an inferno in the living room... common denominator - stupidity again...

Not to mention the discovery that my "old" tumble dryer had a collapsed element in the rear that was shorting out and tripped its thermo eventually.... that was a fire bomb waiting to happen right there....

Can't ban squirrels, what will ADHD folk like me have to distract them?

Just saw the start of yet another poll :-

Should e cigs be banned?

Should regular cigarette smokers get a free fire system fitted to their houses ?(but definitely not e cig users)

Should children be banned?

Should tumble driers be banned?

Should stupidity be banned?

Should intelligence be banned?

Should bands be banned?

Should milliband be banned? I just voted yes for everyone there

My mate used to be a fire fighter, he was telling me the other day that he used to attend at least 1 fire a week attributed to fridges, so should ban them too.

Like e-cigs its not the e-cig thats really the problem. I work in fridge recycling and get a few burnt out ones in each shift. Only seems to affect newer ones that use R600A refrigerant gas.

Since Non flammable CFC Freon R12 and HCFC Klea R134A refrigerants were phased out, flammable refrigerants such as Isobutane R600a and Propane R290 are used instead.

If refrigerant gas was to leak from the refrigeration circuit into the cabinet as the temperature increases a spark could be generated when the thermostat switches the compressor on igniting the gas air mixture.

Should we ban cigs for the hundreds of fires caused each year by them. Retards!

Based on the figures I can find there are about 100,000 house fires a year, 7% of those are caused by 'smokers materials' so that's 7,000 fires a year compared to what was it, a hundred?

This shit is pissing me off now.

It pisses me off every time I see some bullshit newspaper trying to sway the public against E-cigs.

I bet they've never done the same thing with cigarettes.
