Planet of the Vapes: why is there a war on e-cigarettes?

- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2015
- E-cigarette use has exploded and has been celebrated as the greatest aid to smoking cessation ever invented. Yet, as of 2016 in the UK, e-cigarette manufacturers will have to choose between being regulated as a medicine by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency or adhere to strict new EU regulations similar to tobacco products. The Welsh Health Ministry even want to ban their use in public places. The movement to ban or hyper-regulate e-cigarettes seems less to do with people’s health than a concern to attack and control our lifestyle choices. In this fascinating debate filmed at the Battle of Ideas, speakers tell it like it is and Chris Snowden argues compellingly public health policy needs to be stubbed out.

3) I am a smoker for the last 34 years, and yes I hate the cigarettes producers, reason? Simple, they've added addictive ingredients which I did not know about for years, it was not enough to accept people buying their product for pleasure, but to make them addicted to the ingredients they use its a shame, and I am against it...
2ml tanks , 10ml bottles of e juice etc etc etc when are they going to sell alcohol in 30ml bottles (one shot that you cant spill !!! ) and cigarettes sold in packs of 5 that are child proof ??? what a stupid set of rules it all makes no sense to me at all . I had 2 heart attacks 7 weeks ago and i have stopped smoking because i vape now
I am a smoker of 45 years and now I am not a smoker but a vaper. I had no intention of giving up the smokes but something happened that made me find a way to not go crazy. I drive a truck and my company bought us new trucks and ordered us to not smoke in them. I am a nicotine addict and it keeps me calm and happy when I drive so now what? Can't just throw my job in as need money like anyone else. Picked up a vape with nicotine 3 weeks ago with the idea to use it at work and smoke cigs at home after work. By the end of only one week I decided to not buy smokes as my fix from the ecig has worked so I keep my $87 the Australian government was extorting from me every week. Greatest gift ever invented for a smoker. My ecig tastes better and my addiction is fed and no stress at all. Amazing that anyone would wan't to not give me the choice to a better future. Backwards Australia makes me import my nicotine juice from overseas as it's illegal to sell in a shop here. We are so far behind the UK it is not funny. Australia is the biggest nanny state gov in the world
Would the kids who are starting to vape, be starting to smoke cigs otherwise? If so, then they are better off too. Leave Vaping alone! It is much safer than smoking. Period.
What an amazing debate!..Here in Ontario Canada we are still having to fight the Bill for Vaping.Yes its is legal but the they want to ban it .I quit 2 years ago and started vaping to stop.I feel so much better and i can breath more,Walk
Getting rid of Nicotine? How about trying to get rid of caffeine in your coffees?
When you smoke, we smoke. When I vape, I vape. The smoke from cigarettes affects the non smoker from passive smoking(inhaling) stinks up the clothes, turns white furniture grey. Vaping is better for everyone whether they vape or not. Put people's health and happiness above the almighty dollar!
lets get 1 thing perfectly clear, it is NOT a war on e cigarettes nor is it a war on vaping... it is a war on competition!
Excellent discussion and debate among the panel members and audience alike. I wish we were having more of this type of forum and discussion across the pond here in the U.S..
I think they need to back away from ecigarettes. I am a lot healthier since I quit smoking and started vaping.
nicotine does not kill you just to be fair but TAR in cigs that is the one that kills you
There is a clip on here of pulminologist with arguably the most experience on the topic talking about a study he did where he studied the impact of vaping on a bunch of individuals. All the individuals participating in the study (over a number of years) maintained their health status despite having vaped frequently for years. This well known, first class pulminologist stated it was safe- case closed. He went on to say that there may be findings in another 20 or so years but it would likely effect 2-3% of vapers. That's 2 in every 100 people as opposed to 75 of every 100 smokers.
They talk about vaping being a gateway to smoking. I personally do not know anyone who went from vaping to smoking.
they talk about banning e cigs all together yet earlier in the video they mention that vaping is significantly safer then smoking cigarettes. i dont see how banning something that is safer then the other option. so it seems that all these people trying to ban e cigs would rather the public to be unhealthy. Also from my own personal experiance i started vaping even though i didnt smoke cigarettes and in no way is it a gate way to cigarettes... cigarettes taste terrible but when it comes to my vape witch has 0% nicotine it tastes really good. another good point that should be mentioned is that the nicotine in ecig juice is synthesized meaning it does not come from tobacco.
Just about every flavor of E Juice is available in 0 nicotine. Those who are involved in Cloud competitions us pure Vegetable Glycerin which is only available in 0 nicotine. Therefore, there is not a 100% chance of becoming addicted to nicotine. This is something I feel should be taken into account.
answer=big pharma, big tobacco, and big government's even bigger cig taxes.
Writing now in 2019 one thing particularly worries me. I recently relapsed after a 46 day cold turkey cigarette quit. Although I bought a packet of cigarettes and smoked them I was determined not to go back to smoking tobacco full time. I am 58, had been smoking since I was 15, and had quit following a frighteningly bad bronchial chest infection. So I went to a local vape shop and bought the necessary equipment. I have been very impressed and the product has given me hope. But the thing that worries me is the prospect that government legislation will eventually make it as financially punitive to the consumer as tobacco had become. I had begun to find that crippling. Which was another important incentive for my original quit, aside from health.
1) All this people who try to ban vaping, or taxing it further, should be left jobless! It looks like they do not have anything better to do, so they are paid for nothing exactly like politicians, look at the house of commons, they argue non stop, and hardly a good law is passed to the citizen of any country, only restrictions, more taxing, and more poverty!
Doctors Used to suggest taking up smoking.
No, no, no...Ok if people are going to talk about nicotine, wouldn't it be nice if they at least researched a little bit the subject. Nicotine is a stimulant much like caffeine. It its natural form it is not addictive (otherwise people who vape could not reduce the level of nicotine as they vape.) In its deprotonated or "free base" form (which is what the tobacco companies did to make it more addictive) nicotine is very addictive and has the withdrawal side effects such as irritability, etc.
