" Vaping not better than quitting smoking"

[Huggett]

Yeah I know the OP pasted this in from a "news" paper and didn't write it

The press have been running with a lot of 'scare stories' recently. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

It's a good thing as it shows that the only thing they have left bad to say against vaping is made up bullshit.
It's a bad thing as if this crap gets repeated often enough and is unchallenged quite a few people will believe it.

Given that we now live in an age of social media, where most bad stories get tweeted/shared and more and more of the media that people read now is online via their phones/tablets rather than printed, the scare mongerers are having a harder time of things than in years gone by.

Wasn't aimed at you pal, just in general :-)

Aye the Government want a message out fast, the facts dont matter.

They were probably sat in there lovely homes being provided by the Tax Payer thinking how can we screw some more money out of them?

Then oh shit there fighting pack, we cant have that.

I know lets produce another fake story to supply the media with to hand feed the sheep who don't think for themselves or do any research. Lets scare them into thinking how we want

The scary thing is about all this. We know they are BS scare stories about e-cigs. What scares me more, it what else have they done, doing, gonna do. And I don't mean ecigs.

Are 5 a day actually good for you ?
Is red meat not that good for you ?
And so on, and so on.

Without doing your own research on everything, how do you know what is the truth on anything. Especially in the light of the ecigs fiasco.

All this bad press worries me, some how we need to some main stream media on our side, otherwise as we all know it will end up being banned or taxed or both
