Some of the criticisms in Exponent's report are poor standards of documentation and analysis and failure to perform relevant comparisons to FDA-approved nicotine replacement therapy products, which Exponent claims contain TSNA levels comparable to those of e-cigarettes. The study concludes that the FDA's claims of potential adverse health effects were not supported by the studyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-76336698606117728202010-02-05T02:52:50.351+00:002010-02-05T02:52:50.351+00:00The main researcher in the FDA trial concluded &qu...The main researcher in the FDA trial concluded "“They are not going to die from an e-cigarette – but they could die tomorrow from a heart attack due to their smoking.

One couldn't understand why it had been banned in pubs because it didn't bother him. Another was a Doctor who was disgusted that it had been banned on railway platforms. The third person was a raving anti smoker. When we were leaving, he turned round to me and said that there were two things about me that he did not understand, I didn't smell and I didn't have a bad cough in the morning.timbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985165416240833253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-26539760558910984752010-02-04T22:43:08.221+00:002010-02-04T22:43:08.221+00:00Cough cough cough.

Once the fines were acceptable for one thing they could be rolled out for other things. No need for the courts and the expense of a trial - all it needs is just one person in uniform (or wearing a badge) saying that a person not wearing a uniform was doing something bad so they should be punished, instantly.<br /><br />Banning smoking in pubs has had a knock on effect. Not many people drop into their local for the evening, they go there for one drink or for a meal and then go home - so there's less social interaction, and less chatter.Mrs Rigbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389986110372627649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-55580267745647080672010-02-04T19:20:35.298+00:002010-02-04T19:20:35.298+00:00Nobody could have done more to merit a place on an...Nobody could have done more to merit a place on any major tobacco company Board, LegFe.<br /><br />Naturally I will defer to the judgement of Obno the Clown on such matters - but smoking must be on par with eating earwax as the most disgusting of all personal habits.MTGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-20735011959318167442010-02-04T19:07:03.696+00:002010-02-04T19:07:03.696+00:00The smoking ban is about social control.The smoking ban is about social control.Stop Common Purposehttp://www.stopcp.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-41859708987134192322010-02-04T18:51:47.626+00:002010-02-04T18:51:47.626+00:00Well, well, well - as you say, it was only a matte...Well, well, well - as you say, it was only a matter of time - but, this soon ? ...<br /><br />Are NuLabor using this blog as a recipe book ? ...<br /><br />Or is it just the rush to exact as much revenge on (and control over) the UK's population as posible, before the fortcoming legislation ? ...<br /><br />And, NOT A PEEP from the Con\LibDems either ! - not that I'm all that astounded by that ...Chief_Sceptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480068808364375600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-43664530366238286402010-02-04T18:47:48.874+00:002010-02-04T18:47:48.874+00:00I think E-fags have already gone that way here. Ei...I think E-fags have already gone that way here. Either regulated or outright banned, not sure which, but it was a foregone conclusion. The government don't make the big tax bucks on E-fags and Big Pharma would prefer smokers trying to quit or just last till the next place they can light up use gum and patches, both of which are as horrible as you said. They were also counter productive for helping give up because it's hard enough going all day not even thinking about ciggies without being bombarded by bastard adverts with dancing cartoon cigarettes.
