I heard a little blurb on NPR from the M.D. Anderson cancer hospital today...
I thought "oh hell yes! They've got to be on our side. Vaping saves soooo many people from that shit every year."
Fuck no. Those assholes were like, "well, we have no idea of the long term effects. It's been like the Wild West with regards to what exactly is in these vaping juices, what are the safety concerns for these devices, etc. with the FDA in charge, now this will all be safer and have to meet certain standards, blah blah blah..."
Holy mother of fucking idiots...
This is exactly what I was telling my wife the other day. It's absolute gospel truth, and it is there in plain sight for anyone with half a brain to see:
Tobacco and pharmaceutical companies go hand in hand. The tobacco companies sell cigs to a never-ending, self-replenishing crop of new smokers. The smokers get older, and sicker, then they need drugs from the pharmaceutical companies, who in turn, pay the tobacco companies big money for making all these people sick. They pay them the money under the guise of "research".
They don't want anyone to quit smoking. They don't want anyone to have a safer alternative to smoking. Because tobacco companies wouldn't be able to sell cigarettes and make people sick and dying to pay the pharmaceutical companies, who then pay the cigarette companies "to do more research"... And round and round it goes.
Utter horseshit.
