[@KurtYeo]

Hey Dan Corder your commentary on the SA "Tobacco Bill" was going so well, highlighting some of the lunacy proposed in the bill. Unfortunately, it went downhill when you began the cherry-picking on vapes. After eight evidence reviews since the 2015 you quoted by Public Health UK (no UK Office for Health Improvement and Disparities), they concluded in Sep 2022: "We are aware that summarising the relative risks of vaping versus smoking across a range of different products and behaviours and assessed across multiple biomarkers can be simplistic and misinterpreted. Based on the reviewed evidence, we believe that the “at least 95% less harmful” estimate remains broadly accurate, at least over short term and medium term periods. However, it might now be more appropriate and unifying to summarise our findings using our other firm statement: that vaping poses only a small fraction of the risks of smoking".

[@CBD-LIFE]

You are correct. Then there is the grey area. A New patented way of Vape Liquid Manufacture. NO ISOLATES OR CONCENTRATES THAT ARE NOT 100% ORGANIC. And pushing closer to 95+ % safer due to no lab created isolates and blending chemicals. Example CBD isolates need Vitamin E to make is disolvable. Do some research on the suspension Nicotine is mixed with. Vit-E Vapour is the #1 cause of Cronic Lung issues from Vaping, Vit E is used to make skin soft externaly, now what do you think it does internally? Maybe in 3 to 5 years the entire industry wil swing over to my patented formulas. The law does not cover the new patent as it is outside the legal description on regulations as per gazette. Was quite popular during lockdown as the only available E-Liquid available to operate Legally!

[@Mark-nm6zw]

Soooooo, vapes that don't contain nicotine are included.... Nice.... So next thing is we will be charged for drinking and driving when we have a sip of water.... Nice....

[@BlendWorx]

corruption, murder, extortion and fraud is also punishable by jail time, that hasnt stopped these toolbags

[@WayneGerber-b6h]

I highly suggest that you do your own research and not just read what is on the telepromter. I was a cigarette smoker for 25 years, if it was not for vaping I would still be a smoker, I quit cigarettes May 2021. According to my latest full medical check up that I went for last month I am healthier than I was pre May 2021. My Heart EKG shows a marked improvement, my lung capacity is greater. My blood pressure has stabalised. So the psuedo science you are blabbing about on the telepromter is just that. Pseudo science sucked out of thin air.

[@journalm]

Same here. Switched to vaping in January 2023 after 34 years smoking. Health check last week showed all the same improvements. It may not be 95% better, but it's a helluva lot better. Smaller scientific journals are not necessarily dodgy. Many are very good. And I suspect that there is a holier-than-thou/I-know-best motivation behind many of these prohibitionists. Refuting the percentage does not refute that there is an improvement. That's just prohibitionist faulty logic.

This sparked my friend and myself to open up a vape shop to help people get off cigarettes! Everything about me changed, my lungs were not squishing together anymore, my taste and smell came back and I no longer stink!

The UK Royal College of Physicians, the very same group that concluded and warned the world of the dangers in smoking back in 1962, had this to say in their 2024 evidence review: "The harm of smoking to human health is beyond doubt, accounting for 8 million deaths globally each year and 76,000 deaths annually in the UK. 2 out of 3 people who continue to smoke will die from a smoking-related disease. Using e-cigarettes for harm reduction to reduce morbidity and mortality from combustible tobacco is based on clear evidence that e-cigarettes cause less harm to health than combustible tobacco. It is important to provide users of e-cigarettes with as much accurate data as possible on the relative and absolute health effects of e-cigarettes in comparison to use of combustible tobacco alone, dual use and never smoking".

I agree because I detest smoking. But now let's change the laws on corruption and crime in South Africa. Ironic how they change the laws on smoking yet allow the use of cannabis for personal consumption which is simply a gateway drug to stronger drug use. Statistics say 44.7% of users will move on to heavier drugs which in turn adds to our already high crime and drug use in this country. I guess the GNU has its priorities backwards. Finally, it's not a coincidence that the cigarette companies are buying up the vaping companies. It's great business and they are most likely increasing the addiction chemicals in the product as they did with cigarettes.
