Vaping, Do you?

Thin, I think what Linda is implying should everyone with an addiction be exterminated? “Bad choice of words for a grown man!”Many  things are a strain on the NHS and its budget. Smoking? drinking?  Obesity ? all these issues are addictive habits. But all’s not bad Thin, if you take a 40 year old man with lung cancer and doesn’t live past 41, then he’s saved the NHS a lot of money than a man who lives into old age and then needs lots of care , hospital visits, tests, prescriptions for long term medication the list goes on. We have An ageing population which is costing the NHS millions as older people live longer. The tax on 20 fags with a price of £8.50 is £6.98 so most smokers are paying for their treatment? Didn’t you have a health scare sometime back? do you think it was money well spent or did you have to change your ways, habits, lifestyle? I don’t smoke , never have! but, I don’t go saying people should be “exterminated” Who is to blame for smoking? blame society, blame the doctors who in the 60s glamorized smoking by appearing in their white coats telling viewers how good a cool long king size fag can be good for you!!We also had children’s cartoon shows with characters telling them what fags to buy for eg Fred flintstone, Yogi bear this list goes on.  I still cant believe visiting my sister in the maternity wing and being shocked at mothers holding their babies with a fag in their mouths! imagine that happening today? No wonder kids couldn’t wait to try smoking, Many of the older movies contain tobacco imagery,  This is due to the influence and funding from tobacco companies. Money talks and money going up in smoke makes the tobacco companies rich. Blame them!!!!

Thin you are a patronising little man! My aren’t you the perfect male species with no vices haha. Why type stupid comments if you don’t mean it? You are the type of person who trys to twist what other people say. Many of your tongue in cheek comments I’ve witnessed are very spiteful and hurtful. You might take that on board and change how you come across. I simply see a jerk who needs to grow up, man up or stfu! Also, don’t try second guess what I might say next! Or are you a mind reader?  Your previous bans were totally justified mores the pity some people came out to support you. Wont bother reading what crap you come back with, I’m not wasting anymore of my time. I also never assume or suggest ,that’s your department :)

To suggest vaping is ‘ disgusting’ is ridiculous

good god. So sick of snowflakes, all holier than thou being offended on everyone else’s behalf

yes smoking is a bad and nasty habit which puts others health at risk ‘ if in close proximity to the smoke ‘

vaping does not produce toxic smoke !! It produces vapour much like steam !! It may contain vegetable oil extracts , many of which are contained in thousands of food products ! Yes, in 30 years time we may or may not find issues, a few cases ‘ may’ already be linked. MAY !! Compared to the millions of people dying through tobacco smoke , firstly or secondary, it means nothing. It’s a drop in the ocean. You just get people who love to moan ! “ oh I had to walk thru a small amount of vanilla smelling cloud ! It’s outrageous !!”  Oh wind your necks in! If it saves thousands of lives from lung cancer it’s a step forward.  Get off your soap boxes. None of you are perfect !!!

I said recreational users….not anyone using it for medical etc purpose….ie the lazy bums who don’t work but smoke weed all day long
