North East vaper dies

[ian]

So this is already old news then ???why only put it on Looknorth tonight then?Bloody prats

[AndnAnge]

It's frightening news though, and a lot of us have been smoking for decades...

Very true,i do appreciate that.I was only smoking for 12 years but i chain smoked and not only fags either I suppose we have to just be very careful and keep an eye on whats going on in the community.I have heard a few vapers now saying that they have had ill effects that have caused them to stop vaping altogeather.I for one wont be stopping as i have only had a positive experience.

It's a irresponsible, needless alarmist story on the BBC's part as far as I'm concerned . . . is there not enough news in the world to report upon at the moment.

(((Fruits))) it should have been me that deleted my slow crossed post, not you

Agrees with Perpy, it is an irresponsible, needless alarmist story on the BBC's part

Think Ian said it all nicely.

There is a link to the news story about it

Thanks Jaki . . . so the gentleman wasn't just vaping eliquid then if oil was found in the lungs.

A half researched story.

Thanks everyone,i totally agree with And,Perpy and Chrissie.Obviously they have ran out of news, so they feel they should try and spoil our vape now.I am angry as my mrs was telling me to stop vaping, cos its killed someone and have also had a few friends on the phone,who i converted to vaping saying the news says its dangerous.Why do people take what they see on the news to be gospel?I have a good mind to complain to the BBC.

[jaki]

Perpy, I've just watched the second half of vapour trails TV and Cat saw the news article. The doctor apparently called for e cigs to be rigorously tested in the next 2 years (or words to that effect)

I'm not generally big on conspiracy theories, but this gentleman died in August last year, just before the MRHA consultation. Could it be at all possible that GPs, surgeons and the like were encouraged to report if any of their vaping patients subsequently died?

And testing within the next two years...... Now, why does two years ring a bell?

Just to add to that - how often do doctors get interviewed on tea time news when one of their patients dies from a smoking related disease??

There you go, i'll have a clean up

Thank goodness you said that, Vaped, I've been doing my nut wondering why I could [edit to add "not"] see your posts that others were referring to Wot with not being able to see Jerry's pics, I was feeling persecuted

The BBC should be ashamed of themselves. We now have NO trustworthy news source as they are going for tabloid style reporting.

Those thoughts also went through my mind Jaki . . . call me cynical, but it's all just a bit too stage managed.

I agree And.EVERY bottle of juice needs an ingredients list.I love buying from Vapourworld as all of Paulas Dekang juices have a clear list of ingredients,and its good juice lol,thats the main reason but great to have ingredients list.I think EVERY vendor should be made to add a list of ingredients,its just the rite way of selling juice.

[vaped]

Whats the reason this story has only just popped up now? Sounds like someones been searching for deaths of anyone who may have used an ecig. (guessing here, but won't be surprised if theres more stories to come soon)
Maybe im too cynical, but didn't this poor chap die quite a while ago. ???

[vaped]

Ah looks like we're all thinking along the same lines here
