To my awareness,No real long term studies have been conducted on these different types of devices/liquids so any claims and figures are nothing more than educated guess work.
I may be wrong but,I think it's more about generating lost revenue and controlling the market than caring for folk.
On a aside, I've just read the packet my Eliquid came in and its says "if swallowed call the poison centre" that's not really advice you'd expect to see on a harmless,non toxic product is it?
Personally,I don't trust the medical industry anymore than I trust the guy in the local pub with his bag full of dodgey tobacco....
...If you find any of the above incoherent please tell me which bits your struggling to comprehend and I'll try simplify it for you (rolleyes x2)    |
Actually most of it is incoherent…(it usually is when you manage to refrain from copy/pasting someone elses work and try to pass it off as your own)
It’s incoherent because:-
a) It’s not a habit, it’s an addiction
b) Other smoking substitutes are already given on prescription, and earlier posts have alluded to the cost effectiveness of these
c) My liquid says ‘seek medical advice if swallowed’ probably because we don’t really have walk in poison centres in this country…I’d suggest you stop buying dodgy Chinese liquid from that guy in the pub, it’s clearly addling your thought processes
d) Your argument about not being ‘medically ill’ fails because not all tax funded prescription treatments are given because of illness (the guy who needs pain killers for a sports injury….or antibiotics for someone who gets an infection from a rusty nail whilst mooching around a dilapidated building)
’As an aside’…the eye drops I use for my occasional dry eye also says seek medical advice if swallowed, and every single medication from Anadin to Zantac has side effects and toxicity.
Because of your mistrust of the medical industry can I assume that you do not use doctors, hospitals, have eye tests or visit the dentist? If, however, you do use these, should I then assume that you mistrust the advice you receive and ignore it.
