the scary thing is that one of the main reasons they want to ban electronic cigarettes is the big loss of income they will get. and the big loss of income that they are already experiencing.
you hear them saying that millions of pounds of cuts here and there make a big difference. with cigarettes. you're talking billions.
they want us to smoke. they need us to smoke.
and they'll throw something in like they have with smoking, to make it sound like they don't want us to smoke.
so whether you like it or not. you need us to smoke.
just think of us as an essential thing like a car. and the hospital treatment as running costs  |
That why the tobacco lobbyists are on the bandwagon drumming up the anti for banning the E cig as to every guess right, they've had it too good for too long greasing the wheels of power in governments electoral years.
They banned the use of them in some places, as that state get funding from tobacco companies or indirectly for state elections funny how money corrupts over public interest on large level. Given the price on fags these days, if I was a smoker - I'd be on the E cig's not long after any price rise due government tax it's a no brainier plus you can get lot of MG levels (high - low -none) not mention the different flavours you could enjoy think about for a minute, you get that from a fag of different brands my guess you don't. Last point like all things in life eg: nicotine you get different grades as the pro movement to banning of E cig's won't point out is it's the same liquid nicotine you get in (nicotine) smokers chewing gum & patches which I remember right was the same products they put on the market to the need of people quitting the habit from pressure from the government.
