I..."There is no political line to why I fight. I have no links to either Pharma or Tobacco industries. I have no hidden agenda (unlike many in Tobacco Control). I simply want to help others to quit lit-tobacco if that is what they want to do. eCigarettes are the safest and most effective way of quitting lit-tobacco.<br /><br />I want to save lives in the same way as I saved my own. How many in Tobacco Control can claim that with a clear conscience ?"<br /><br />Exactly the same as me. I’m psychiatrist, vaper since six years, and THR/provap blogger since one year<br /><br />Doctors saying that there is no evidence of it to be as harmful or less harmful than tobacco… are innecesary confuse. Journalists want numbers, so they could (but they don’t do it) offer this:<br /><br />the number of death or severe ill due to tobacco are 120 millions of people yearly.<br /><br />The number of death or severe ill due to vap, actually is zero (the two lipoid pneumonias that appeared on press last year were refuted as chemical impossibilities)<br /><br />The number of death or severe ill due to vap expected in the next 50 years, according to their well known substances, is… zero.<br /><br />As physician, I have never seen a bigger case of disproportionate fear. But creators of that fear knew well how to do it. Alarmism with anecdotes is a very easy goal if you have the motivation (millions of losses in low effective threatments, or in tobacco sells) and you don’t care about the costs ( The 120 millions of people death or severe ill yearly due to continue smoking because they fear vap).<br /><br />As a society, we shouldn’t agree with that.<br /><br />I agree that we see the huge impact in health of the fact that vap survives or not. But we fail in saying that to make it evident to the public. Perhaps, we could approach the question of harm reduction:something like: would you dare if public authorities were going to ban seat belts, preservatives, airbags, and helmets? Well, I have bad news. If we don´t act, governments will ban the hugest weapon of harm reduction against tobacco: VAP, with junk science and strict regulations.Guillermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008181954063350258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550478463571401890.post-75679922269158994712015-03-02T17:03:31.634+00:002015-03-02T17:03:31.634+00:00Applauds.
