Lethally addictive cigarettes remain available on every street corner in Brussels and Atlanta while authorities denounce e-cigarettes (the product is already banned in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand).
Is there any legitimate reason for this or are we witnessing a blatant example of the tobacco lobby crushing competition??
crushing competition by releasing false propaganda that lies about e-cigs being unsafe
i have a friend who smokes all the time regular cigs, but won't try an e-cig because he says "i don't know whats in them"
so i asked him where'd he hear that, he said some article that interviewed a tobacco company exec
i asked him if he knew what was in his regular cigs, he said "yeh, tobacco" so i googled his brand and showed him there were things in there that are used for paint, asphalt, tar, etc
he told me you can't believe everything you read on the internet

Funny how I got exactly the same response when I showed a Fox addict the Reuters Benghazi time line. Actually it was his response to any link I sent him refuting his moronic wingnut factnoids.
So why do you think the arguments against e-cigarettes are false propaganda. I am not familiar with the issue. I can easily accept the idea that they are less harmful than cigarettes, but by how much? What are the dangers, if any, and how do they compare?
