BBC News this morning - letter to WHO

[GunJack]

Not got a link to the story as yet, but aparently there's a letter to the WHO gone in signed by 100 "scientists" to regulate e-cigs like tobacco...


That'll be Glantz, McKee and their fan club then

also think it got overlooked last week, but Glaxo bleating on about regulating them....cutting into your nrt profit, boys ??!??

lets face it till they find a way of taxing nicotine for personal consumption (ejuice with nic) they are not gona give up
its hard to say that there is no lasting damage caused by ecigs as they haven't been around long nuff yet(in the general public )
are there any short term benefits well i would say so and im sure most of you will
but its all down to how the heck can we tax this at the end of the day

Not even mentioned on the 8am news.

It has certainly not got the exposure that Dr F's letter to the WHO, I think people are realising that Glantz is just a scare monger and are ignoring him.

plenty of short-term benefits....

1. taste improves
2. smell improves
3. lungs clear out of cr@p
4. breathing improves
5. blood circulation improves
6. oxygen levels in blood improve
7. carbon monoxide levels decrease
8. stairs without breathlessness
9. financial improvements (unlsee shinyitis kicks in of course)
10. you/clothes/house/car/etc. don't smell of smoke & ashtrays


obviously these benefits will be lessened if you dual-fuel, but certainly a full-time vaper will see these very real short-term benefits within a couple of months....what's not to like ??

This is The Guardian is about the Glantz propaganda, but at least half of it is about the Gang of 53 letter to WHO.  It seems that as the Gang of 53 got their first they are getting more exposure to provide balance to Glantz's Gimps rubbish.

Stagnant Grunts and his minions like McCavity and Dickford are Public Health terrorists IMO.

Isn't he already their advisor, so did he write to himself?
Normally considered the first sign of madness, but in his case it was already well known.

Regulate e-cigs like tobacco? (Yes, I head the story on the BBC TV)

Have we gone back to 2013? ???

That makes no sense - I mean, the two aren't even close to being the same? Any corrupt scientist can say there is no difference in the levels of danger.
He'd be lying, or thousands of eminent scientists who are "pro" e-cigs are therefore lying.
Which is more likely?

It's pathetic. It really is.

Considering he quotes his own studies to prove his theories I think madness is a given.
