Not my room mate's gas for once, no, something else...

 

I was at work the other day and in the break room rummaging the paper for the comics.

 

There was this entire page advertisement for one of those vape things.

Of COURSE it was saying something about using vape to quit cigarettes. Imagine.

 

But here was the LOUD part - the entire top 1/4 of the page was blacked out with the words in white about this product contains nicotine and nicotine is addictive.

Now folks, not even cigarette and snuff ads got a warning label that big. All tobacco ever got was a puny space in the bottom corner of the page, easily overlooked.

 

Even though I have never vaped, i still hate it. I hope the vape companies are losing sleep knowing that they are under fire quicker and harder than tobacco ever has been.

 

It is kind of like when someone lies to you, the first time you believe it but when you figure out it is BS you get mad. But then they try to lie to you AGAIN and you f*****g explode!

The anti-nicotine people (especially us ex-smokers) are probably more pissed than anyone. I love seeing vape companies getting their asses kicked.

 

I just hope these kids who see vape ads will ask, "how come that warning is so huge...?"

The hope for e-ciggs was that they would give people an alternative way to inhale nicotine that’s not as dangerous as a cigarette, it has turned out to not be the case. After they vape or use an e-cigg for a year or two and try a cigg a lot claim they get sick. so sick they wont smoke a cigg but go back to e-cigg or vape. This is the start and later on we will hear of the illnesses

So basically then once they start vaping, they are stuck?

I have a very hard time believing that vape is any safer than a damn cigarette.

Perhaps, vaping is to some degree a safer method of nicotine delivery than cigarettes.

 

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that vaping is to some extent safer than cigarettes.  Here's what irritates me, from a "safer alternative" many are now leaping to the conclusion that this means vaping is safe.

 

Nope.  The statement "safer alternative" only means that vaping claims to be safer than cigarettes.  Cigarettes...the deadliest consumer product in the history of the world.  The bar for "safer alternative" could not be set any lower.

G’day

There was a time ( yes I was a 40 year smoker) when they started to put the cigs to be safer.

First it was filters. No I didn’t smoke at that time but by the time I did I wouldn’t smoke anything without one “ cause it was safer.”

Hell they even brought out filters for roll your owns to make them sound safer. 

Then it was making cigs with lower nicotine levels by putting pin holes in the butt and proudly making the claim that it was somehow safer to smoke. And the worse thing people, believed by that by smoking the lower nicotine levels One was able to give up. What a crock off sh1t that was.

Now that want us to believe that vaping is not only “safe” but allows people to give up the cigs. 

Its still full of addictive nicotine, you’ll still be addicted customer for life but don’t worry it’s safer.... 

And this is from the same people who have continually lied in the past.

Have they suddenly got it right?

I know they couldn’t.

Same Crowd Same Lies

I still believe that snuff (Copenhagen and Skoal) is deadlier than cigarettes. You know how that first morning cigarette made us feel a bit dizzy? Snuff has that effect all day and it is gross, like wanting to puke.
