A conspiracy under our noses

Think about this for a moment.

What if...

everyone on the planet stoped smoking cigarettes one day.

Think about how much revenue the tobacco industry would lose overnight.

Now think about the multi-million pound smoking cessation industry.

I have been using an electronic vapouriser (e-cigarette) since 22nd April and have had no inclination to smoke an "analogue"(tobacco) cig again.
I appreciate that this loss will be inconvenient for Her Majesty's purse, and those of the pharmacologists.

The nicotine liquid for use with the vapouriser is now under threat of being banned, despite reducing the massive cancer risk.

I haven't smoked a single cigarette since 22nd April 2010, having smoked 20 a day since the 1990s.
I'm flabbergasted!!
I'm so impressed I've become a reseller!!
They come with a full money back guarantee, and allow one the elegance of smoking indoors with the added shock factor to those around having "smoke"(water vapour) blown in their face!! LOL

Other electronic cigarettes are available.

I think spam is frowned upon round these parts.

Oops...sorry.

I have amended my post.

Do electronic cigarettes look as cool as the normnal ones?

When giving up a drug like nicotine it's best not to keep taking it.

We need cigarettes to kill people because we can't pay for the old people we've got, so the last thing we need is even more.

I'm not giving up the drug nicotine (which is relatively harmless in small doses) What I am doing is relishing the style, glamour and elegance of holding a cigarette, and being mesmerised by the wisps of smoke (water vapour) dance in one's midst.

I also relish the shock element of vaping in enclosed public spaces, and the surprise when I reveal the end of the cig. glowing green!!

I like the green myself.

Environmentally friendly fags?

There's enough nicotine in 4 or 5 cigarettes to kill an adult.

Nanny needs taxation from cigarettes.
Pharmacutical companies make $$$s from Nicotine replacement therapy.

Conspiracy theorists take heed!!

Equally in the nicotine patch, inhailator and gum!! LOL
Surely this is a reason to regulate the sale of medicinal nicotine?

That only works if you're James Dean.

I agree, to see that cigarette glamour disapear forever would be a massive shame.

No more film noirs with cool looking private dicks and sly femme fatal bitches being conjoined by their romantic swirls of white smoke.

No more jazz bands with a ciggy perched upon their mic stand (George Melly did this), or at the end of the double bass fret board.

No more drama critics sitting cross legged in a chair, with their gold tipped ciggies held between their two middle fingers, in a most unconventional and arty way, before going home to be beaten up by their wives.

To ban ciggies is to ban all this!
