Misguided and upsetting

Some of the outright misguided views here are really quite upsetting and apear to be the same views that have led to the desired ban .

I have used vaporisers for around 3 years now, before which I smoked for 15. I have never felt healthier! No shortness of breath, the ability to actually move at any reasonable speed and even better than that, my sense of taste and smell have returned!

People are mentioning harmful chemicals in e-liquids however the vast majority of these "juices" contain only 4 ingredients most of which we consume on a daily basis.

Propalyne Glycol or "PG" ( found in a lot of food products as well as tooth paste and other similar products)

Vegetable glycerine or "VG" ( found in vast amounts of foods as well as the sole liquid used in smoke machines)

Food Flavourings (again, found in food!)

And finally, nicotine, at a maximum of 2.4% (24mg strength) of the total mix (generally suspended in PG)

The only harmful chemical here is the Nicotine. and this is only harmful when ingested and is no more adictive than caffeine.

It sadens me that alot of people have the attitude that because it looks like smoke, then it must be as bad and therefore bannned! Come on people. Develop a better understanding of the subject matter before reacting!

Also, I'll take looking like a bit of Twat with my vape over smoking any day!
