    And how does this come as a big shock? - Pretty similar to the UK... Of course they are going to demonise E-Cigs, so the cigarette companies get around 90p a packet.. The average Packet of cigarettes costing between £6 and £8 over here. Look at all the revenue that will be lost if we all switch to E-Cigs.. The only real danger is to the Government, there will be a big tax hole! We're also living longer, which means theres more pensions to be paid out. Why do you think the care for the elderly is shocking in this country?

    Of course no government will come out and publicly condone smoking. But despite popular belief, smokers actually subsidise the NHS. The treasury takes in approximately £12 billions in duty and tax on all tobacco products. Yet it is estimated that the cost to the NHS for the treatment of smoking related diseases/illness is £6 billions. These figures do not take into account savings on state pensions and other benefits because smokers die earlier on average.
    PS not trying to justify smoking - I gave up 3 years ago - merely correcting a widely accepted misconception

    I don't think we are. Have a wander around your local cemetery and have a look at the ages on the gravestones. Infant mortality used to be much higher and that dropped the average age down, once you got past childhood and survived wars people generally lived long lives.
    Have a look at how unhealthy people are these days, I can't see many of them making it into their 80's or 90's



    Our governments really don't give a **** about us. I'm surprised that people actually think they do

    The " EXPERTS " who wrote the paper that this particular article was based on , were compelled to remove their " FINDINGS " from public circulation as absolutely nothing they said was based on real scientific research . Have a look at some of the research papers of renowned Cardiologist Konstantinos Farsalinos .

    Slightly off topic, but relevant! For donkeys years Lighting Directors have been flooding TV Studios with smoke to 'soften' and make the light more artistic, which is essentially the same stuff as E'Liquid. If its that dangerous how come the cameramen, floor managers and presenters haven't come down with 'Stage Smoke' related illnesses. And they're in that environment ALL of the time!
