Have you read the who website
www.who.int/nmh/events/2014/backgrounder-e-cigarettes/en/

These people are on crack

[flavourtank]

E-cigarettes also increase the exposure of non-smokers and bystanders to nicotine and a number of toxicants, the report says.

Taken from who website.....

What toxicants???
How does the nicotine jump to someone else??

[Chrissie]

I am indeed very depressed over this

[jaysey]

Me too hope other half doesn't get wind of it ! He's bad enough now bloody anti vapeing smokers

[sleedale]

I've written on the WHO FB page......won't make a blind bit of difference but it made me feel better

[djs]

This is laughable.. (and, frankly shouldn't be allowed in print)

Gordon Pye: People don't smoke tobacco for the nicotine anyway and all ecigs make you do is overdose then start smoking again even heavier than before!

Curious? Is Mr Pye living in the Sky?

Mr Pye is a short 1953 novel by Mervyn Peake of Gormenghast fame.

Mr. Pye travels to the Channel Island of Sark to awaken a love of God in all the islanders. His landlady on the island, Miss Dredger, quickly becomes a devout follower of his teachings. and even agrees to allow the person she hates the most, Miss George, to stay in her house. As Pye does good works he gradually feels a stinging feeling on his back. On further investigation he discovers that he has started to grow angel's wings, and after consulting with a Harley Street doctor, he concludes the best thing to do is to stop doing good deeds, and instead does bad deeds.

He engages in some deliberately malicious acts, and after a time this results in him growing horns on his forehead. He is unable to decide what to do, but eventually decides to reveal his horned condition to the islanders, who chase him to the edge of a cliff, which Pye flies off using his wings.

The Independent's headline:

E-cigarettes 'as dangerous as normal cigarettes' and must be banned indoors.

[sleedale]

Oh FFS.......the independent!

flavourtank, I've seen a few comments on the WHO FB page too, and no, I don't for one single minute think I'll get a reply. Still made me feel better though.

Well, knock me over with a wonky banana, EU style. ???

Maybe Mr Pye is actually a Pro e-cig campaigner looking for some troll action....

Good find Inspector VB.

I engage in deliberately malicious acts... blowing up E-Lites and VIP stalls... in the dead of night in shopping centres. You don't hear about it, as most people are too deliriously happy to bother phoning the old bill.

(either that, or I am a fantasist OD-ing every night on 24mg snake oils...)

At least they have a geezer puffing on an EVIC not a *bleeping* E-Lite.

[flavourtank]

Am I being thick but I cant get my head round it..... what is so bad about vaping indoors compared to having stinkies sparked up with a hot cherry on the end which I would assume are the case of most house fires????

Fall asleep with stinkie on the go and burn house

Fall asleep with e-cig and still be alive

I know which one I'd go with

I thought The Independant was a newspaper to respect, to a degree. The type of newspaper read by people to question the things they doubt and not just swallow what they're told. I really hope their readers have the good sense not to believe it and those that doubt the validity to say well hang on prove it don't print things you can't back up.

The ones that are likely to believe it probably wont read it anyway. They'll be buying newspapers with more pictures.

I'd like to read the article that accompanies it. Every vaper in the land should fire off emails to these educated morons and ask them to prove what they print or broadcast.
