Matt96 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Just now, Happy enough said: i think i explained my position on this earlier but just for you this is just an internet site article, not a scientific research and even this articel says " E-cigarettes and long-term harm - the possibility of some harm from long-term e-cigarette use cannot be dismissed due to inhalation of the ingredients other than nicotine, but is likely to be very small, " likely? lol lol lol this is not how scientific research should be described. for example, for decades in the US it was written in pseudo-scientific journals that fat is likely to be much more harmful than sugar. not it is known that Kellog and other sweet breakfast manufacturers paid for them.

zzidenn Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Matt96 said: there is absolutely no evidence that e-cigarettes are less harmful than tobacco. it's just in imagination of those who want to find an easy way to destroy his and other people health in public places. but there are studies suggesting that e-cigarettes damage lungs in unique way - not same as cigarettes. https://newatlas.com/e-cigarette-unique-lung-disease-harm/51847/ even FDA did not approve e-cigarettes. ban on e-cigarettes is totally justified. if you can't accept it - go back home. Thai government create new laws to make Thai people healthier not to indulge harmful habits of foreign visitors. if you really believe that, maybe you should go home. People who live in thailand are not foreign visitors. Thailand is part of the world and the world is home to all of us. we live in the year 2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealthychef Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Efforts at policing private citizens' health choices are forced down peoples' throats... in other news, the rampant bribery of police officers continues without any effort at changing or controlling the practice.

Popular Post kalidescopemind Posted April 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2018 You have gone off the deep end. Nicotine in e-cigs is non-carcinogenic. There is formaldehyde in cigarettes, maybe in some e-cigs. Cigarettes kill over a Million people every year due to the presence of strong carcinogens, but you want "proof" that e-cigs save lives, like you have any idea what you are taking about? The only bad chemical you seem to know of in some, not all, e-cigs is formaldehyde, which is classified as a "probable carcinogen" unlike cigarettes, that have about 5 very strong carcinogenic compounds. You have put on an impressive display of your lack of knowledge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon789561 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 anyway, as much fun as matt has been. i like you matt. you have made me laugh. i like people who make me laugh. i'd say that the iqos is and will be rolled out internationally, (still uses tobacco) will be taxed in the same way as smokes are and will be just as expensive as smokes but clearly alot less harmful. right now everyone, not just thailand is working out where their cut comes in.

mommysboy Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If they were dangerous I really don't think they would be legal in countries such as UK and the USA. The health authorities in UK actually encourage their use as a smoking cessation device and have been backed by some heavyweight health orgainizations such as cancer research UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastos60 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 9 hours ago, Get Real said: The only reason this ban exists, is to secure that the tobacco monopoly is intact. Disregarding better health, we rather ban and still make money out of peoples misery. We still have no clue on what the long term effects are of vaping, so far the only reason it would be better for health is that it can help people break there cigarette dependency. But is far more annoying to bystanders who are not smoking, it is even annoying to smokers. In closed rooms the vapor doesn't dissipate as easily as smoke from cigarettes does. Ever sit in a room with heavy vapers? It is like the fog in London. It is far less innocent as what you would make it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago in the UK, I was a smoker, and my stock answer to anyone who criticised my "habit" was that if everybody stopped smoking, then other taxes would have to be increased to make up the shortfall, so I was in effect subsidising non smokers. Needless to say, I got the usual indignant responses about the savings in NHS treatment for lung cancer, breathing disorders etc., but my answer to that was that the increased life expectancy for the ex smokers would in itself put an added strain on the system. People live longer, therefore there is more to be paid out in pensions and benefits. Years later, although I kicked the habit a long time ago, my views are exactly the same!
