The only down side is that he will die anyway.

Well, It's been awhile since my famioly and friends said you need to stop smoking cigarettes and try those E-CIGARETTES.
I quit smoking regular cigarettes on july 28th my cousin said if I could do it she could do it and started with these E-Cigarettes.
So a month after I start on the E-CIGARETTES some French medical study says they are bad for you?
This **** make you want to start smoking again huh?
Frankly I think this is bull****, just a way to get more money from smokers that are quitting through new regulations.
However what the Hell you pay an arm and leg for cigarettes you pay an arm and leg for quiting cigarettes.

You're right, of course. I just like ****storms. Government is at least somewhat accountable.I don't have any enemies. I just believe that the government is a huge waste of resources, and there is never enough money to keep it fed.

They're profligate, certainly. But ultimately accountable to the electorate. In large part, we can lay the blame of government excess squarely at the feet of public apathy. To my mind, they're still the vanguard against corporate dominance. Democracy is only as vital as those who make use of it.Ummm, the government in this country is barely accountable for anything that goes wrong. They frequently "lose" huge sums of money, and those responsible keep their jobs.

Well, at least until election day. There's no circumventing the vote, Liz. No government is ineluctable. If there's a problem with the system, it's that our incumbents aren't subject to review and instant recall.Hon, we have so many people over here who are essentially ignorant, and are willing to turn a blind eye, as long as their pockets are being lined, or their ideology is being pushed, that there is no accountability at virtually any level.

For the great majority, that kind of insight comes only with class struggle and crisis. We're not there right now. I have faith in the average joe and jane on the street. But I'm also aware of generational oppression and conditioned indifference. The public is that quintessential sleeping giant. Light a fire under them and they'll vanquish the old order in a day.Yeah, if only we had a largely intelligent voting populace...........

:lol:Ummmm, yeah we'll see about that. Sheep aren't too good about revolting.
:lol:
Wait until they're really pissed. What looked like sheep from a distance are lions up close. We don't live in such times. The extant setup is merely corrupt. Society doesn't presently teeter on the brink.
I see what you did there.Not yet. Let's give it some time to degrade a little more, and become so engrossed in entertainment that we just exist to eat, sleep, and have sex.
Yeah, if only we had a largely intelligent voting populace...........
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
I see what you did there.
As for the last, I'd welcome decadence were it accompanied by a lobotomy.
I wonder who paid for that study?
No, e-cigarettes are not as harmful as tobacco cigarettes due to the tar.

Lungs are a regenerative tissue...... Your lungs heal.
Not sure who paid, but it was done by a French organization called "“60 million Consumers." here's their report.
Note that they don't say that e cigarettes are as harmful as regular cigarettes, only that they aren't really "safe."
so, how credible is "60 Million Consumers?" I have no idea.
They also are concerned with alcohol in soft drinks:
60 MILLION CONSUMERS CONFIRMS THE PRESENCE OF ALCOHOL AND SOFT DRINKS
I'm pretty sure the title should be in soft drinks, not and soft drinks. The rest of the article has some questionable grammar as well, perhaps due to the (lack of) ability of the translator.
Why "traces" of alcohol should be of any concern, I'm not sure.
It could be argued that 100% of people who have ever drank water died.
Therefore water must be dangerous...They make the conclusion fit their premise.
