Love some of the replies though, that really tear the story to bits.

Well if "Don't vape,use Nicorette" don't work.....

I stopped reading as soon as the racism comments. What has racism got to do with an as yet unproven (also undisproven) less unhealthy alternative to tobacco.

We need to get our points heard, but there's an unhealthy element among us that just want to get agressive.

I won't get involved in things like that.

What a load of bollocks! Big pharma plant, 40 puffs an hour is the equivalent of 40 fags a day? This is not burnt tobacco, total utter bullshit

Her whole story sounded like it was worse than an "Eastenders" and "Coronation Street" script combined.

As I've said in other posts , I can only be encouraged by the panicking of government , Pharma and Tobacco industries resorting to the kind of s**t flinging only normally seen in the run up to a major election.
Perhaps the government need to collect the lost revenue from smokers and let's be honest , the amount of smokers are only going to get smaller from now on , from the like of Amazon , Starbucks and all those others given little to no tax to pay.As a person that is self employed and HAS to rely on agency work most of the time , do I get the choice to not pay tax and then pay it at the end of the year , NO , I have to pay a FULL 20% and that's ALL year round , then I have to claim it back from THEM , rather convenient.

I think the comments have been ( on the most part ) just and what you would think they would be , BUT unfortunately most readers of the piece would only read just the article and not the comments below , which is a shame as their some good links to people and research.


Last , but not least , she looks as though she has posed for those shots, and it doesn't look as though it's the first time for her , anyone else smell the " paid actress" ???

Well when it's proven that e-cigs are safe and a much healthier alternative to normal cigarettes we can send her a copy of that article and laugh in her face.

Perhaps if she didn't buy those cheaply made expensive crap-e-cigs she wouldn't have spent so much money. They sell them in pound shops now and I almost cried when I saw someone purchasing one the other day. People need educating on the types of e-cigs that are available..mainly the Ego types which are much better and cheaper for those just starting out.

Quoted from one of the comments:

''Looked up her Linked in Profile and she is a PR executive at BJL London which is a PR and advertising company...

BLJ London is an independent public relations firm with extensive experience in executing high-profile campaigns, and a proven strategic approach to help clients shape images, protect and enhance reputations, achieve business objectives, and influence public opinion. It has associate offices in New York, London, and Doha and beyond. BLJ London is managed by a group of distinguished former news executives and Downing Street political advisors''.


Makes me wonder... how can someone with the supposed intelligence required for a dynamic, high-profile position where detailed research is a cornerstone, make such a mess of her e-cig experience? I suspect it just another example of agenda-driven, cut-and-paste journalism.

Looks like she was used to influence public opinion against e-cigs

Doctor Opens E-Cig Store Next To His Clinic


05 July, 2014 E-Cigarette News 296

An English doctor from the small town of Ilkeston is being recognized for having opened an electronic cigarette store by his surgery. Dr. John Ashcroft opened his shop called Dr. Smokeless back in October in hopes of helping smokers quit, seeing himself the benefits that smokeless vapor e-cigarettes offered to his patients. He has since grown plenty awareness for the cause and has garnered popularity in his community and abroad.

He explained his argument simply by saying that cigarettes are harmful due to tar and carbon monoxide and not the nicotine itself, making vaporizers a staggeringly better way to intake nicotine. Many fully agree with Dr. Ashcroft and those who know this best, are ex-smokers whom have completely switched to vapor
I tried to post this but they haven't put it up yet.................WONDER WHY

[djs]

40 inhalations an hour on a cig-a-like.

Yep, that's about 4 cigarettes a day in Nicotine.

Seems accurate to me. Good article....
