Big Pharm Funding Anti-E-Cigarette Campaigners

 So kids can buy this?

I am a supplier and I would like you to look at our site, http://www.ecigarettedirect.co.uk - we have no intention of targeting young people - our market is the unfortunate smoker who cannot smoke in his local pub or at work, or who neither wishes to  pollute the atmosphere in his home, nor inflict passive smoking on those around him.

Reports to date have shown that the e cigarette is far less harmful than a tobacco product, - see Dr. Laugessen's assessment from Health New Zealand, and the comments of the Tobacco Harm Reduction department at the University of Alberta amongst others.  Where is the evidence that this is more dangerous than a cup of coffee?

 So kids can buy this?

If a child had a credit card and sufficient funds and were willing to break the law! Children generally manage to get their hands on most things they want, and most smokers start when they are underage. When I was growing up young teenagers smoked, drank and took drugs - rules and regulations never stop that. Part of the allure is that it is forbidden/dangerous/illegal/rebellion. All of which hardly provides sufficient cause to ban the e-cigarette. If you have the kind of child who is going to break the law and smoke addictive substances, at least they are smoking something which has had all but one of its harmful substances removed rather than something which will kill one in two of its users.

E-cigarettes are an ingenious solution to people who are completely addicted to cigarette smoking and would like to smoke in pubs while having a relaxing drink without inflicting obnoxious fumes on others. It would be good to try the e-cigarette before condemning it.

It looks and feels like a real cigarette.

The electronic cigarette a revolutionary device that acts much the same way an ordinary tobacco cigarette would, but rather than toxic smoke, it produces vapor. The e-cigarette is all the fun of nicotine without the toxins found in tobacco cigarettes. At last you can quit inhaling tar and other noxious substances yet keep the satisfaction of smoking. The 'smoke' is completely odourless and evaporates quickly in the air.

It's good to have choice.

    Money is why they are attacking e cigarettes, nothing more. I am a retailer, and user of the e cig, and have tried for 20 years out of the 25 I have smoked to quit, and this is the only thing that helps, I have been smoke free for almost 75 days now. It really does help you quit no matter what they say, and obviously they "Know" it also because of this statement :

What is clear is that the industry is watching the electronic cigarette closely, with a section in one industry report entitled: E-Cigarettes Will Revolutionise the Face of Tobacco Smoking and Could Pose a Threat to the Smoking Cessation Market.

That is proof in itself that we are dealing with criminals that would rather get their 3 billion a year and let 30 million smokers die in the US on this day (more as time goes on). This is a criminal act and agenda that makes Hitler look like Mary Poppins, and George Bush as Innocent as a newborn!

Well Marlin, as a retailer, how is business ?

Do you think that these poor addicted smokers are getting a good deal when they buy these e-cigs ?  How about the longevity of the parts ? 

How long do batteries last ?  How about atomizers ?   What's the mark up ? What about all of the defective parts and cartridges that are sold ? Do you think $79, which is pretty cheap,  plus postage is a fair price for a starter kit ?
