"Compared to combustible cigarettes, e-vapor products are at least 96% less harmful"

Combustible... Yes, nice word to define cigarettes.

I quite like to use "The carcinogenic version of e-cigarettes" in casual conversation, although I occasionally refer to them as "The oxygen uptake inhibitor version of e-cigarettes" or "The tar depositing version...." 
 You get the drift - you can play with your own variants (I've not used "sort of like e-cigs but for stupid people" though - still awaiting a natural point in a conversation for that one).

As I've said before my mother in law has COPD and is 78 years old. She has smoked all her life and is as stubborn as shit

2 years ago she couldn't even get out of her chair to answer the door due to her breathing.

I got her an ecig and got her off baccy and today she is a changed woman. Her breathing is better she goes into town at least twice a week and she has now progressed onto an Istick and loves it.

So tell me ecigs are bad for you when they have given her her life back. Don't get me wrong she still has the COPD but the ecig has held it back enough for her to have some better quality of life

This is the thing that bothers me the most , ALL of these studies and polls and articles in the media come out with total scaremongering BS , it's then refuted by REAL scientists that actually know what they are doing and DON'T twist the results.Yet the people that come up with the original piece virtually NEVER even respond , let alone try and back up their argument.Why , because their job is done , the lies have already made it into the conscientiousness of the people that read the article in the first place , many only read the headline, let alone the entire piece.

Total lies from major newspapers should be removed , permanently , not allowed for all to see.

I was diagnosed with COPD three years ago. I've been vaping full time for around a year now and my last three COPD reviews ( I have one every three months) have shown a marked improvement.

I smoked roll ups for over 40 years, and toward the end I was on 100-150 grams per week.

I know I feel better, I'm not breathless all the time which is how I was before. Just carrying a couple of bags of shopping a short distance home left me in a state. Not anymore.

I'll never be cured of COPD but vaping has been the most positive thing I've done to improve my condition.

I still have problems with more than one flight of stairs, and even one flight has to be taken carefully.

I know a few people with COPD, it seems to be getting diagnosed more frequently now. Some still won't have it that packing in the fags is one major step toward not making the condition worse.
