I am confused. Most things in this article talk about tobacco products, but many e-juice and e-cig products actually do not contain tobacco, though they do contain nicotine. Is this just failure on the author's part, or is this bill not really going to affect e-cigs afterall?
- pessimizer 10y agoIt's representative of the equivocation being used by the anti-tobacco lobby to expand to a device that doesn't involve tobacco. The ultimate inversion of the tobacco industry helping them would be surprising to me if I weren't familiar with their efforts to keep Swedish snus out of the EU (where it is illegal.) edit: "The widespread use of snus by Swedish men (estimated at 30% of Swedish male ex-smokers), displacing tobacco smoking and other varieties of snuff, is thought to be responsible for the incidence of tobacco-related mortality in men being significantly lower in Sweden than any other European country. In contrast, since women traditionally are less likely to use snus, their rate of tobacco-related deaths in Sweden can be compared to that of other European countries." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus#Health_consequences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus#Health_consequences
- prodmerc 10y agoTobacco = nicotine in most people's minds. Total ignorance of all the other shit that actually makes cigarettes dangerous and addictive. But hey, ban everything for the average schmucks, let only the rich and famous be able to use anything they way without repercussions.
