OK...lol Here I go.
It's insane. NYC is trying to ban them. Several countries have banned them. Canada, Australia, Mexico and others. You can still buy the world champ at killing people, cigarettes, but harm reduction? No those are dangerous.I wrote in the letter that lung cancer killed: father 59, mother 73, uncle 83, aunt 80, brother 63.
There is no combustion, no smoke, no tar, and no carcinogens. Food flavoring, nicotine, vegetable glycerin. WTF?
They want to regulate nicotine as they are drinking their third Starbucks of the day.
Our consumer advocate org. CASAA works for free, fighting bans. Cities will ban cigarettes and someone will say, hey put those ecig things in there. Millions of people cannot quit smoking and big pharma's products are an expensive, miserable failure. The most innovative product ever invented to save lives and it comes to this.
I'm on a forum with 100,000 active members and I've yet to hear anyone say, man I felt so much better on cigarettes.
One more thing. About a week before a friend gave me an ecig I told my brother, our father died at 59, I'm 59 f*ck it. I tried the ecig, smoked my last 8 Marlboro Lights and that was 7 months ago.
Do these people really want to send millions of people back to a death sentence? Worse yet, the most dysfunctional, crooked, disrespected *ssh*l*s called Congress are going to decide my fate when they have big tobacco in their back pocket? I'm so frustrated with meds and this I just want to scream.
One day my brothers and I were at my mothers apt and were watching TV. She was already pretty sick. An ad came on about the gov wanted to clamp down harder on cigarettes. My mom didn't cuss much but she said I wish the government would get out of our goddamn lives.
Government is ruining this country. And we're 16 trillion in the hole.
I get carried away on this subject. Somebody has to get angry because government is stripping away our freedom and we pay them! They serve us, we don't serve them. Maybe I should start blogging again.. :)One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
