Smoke free is at it again. Making claims that just aren’t there and what little truth is there is exaggerated massively.
In July, the FDA finally dispelled the rumors that e-cigarettes could be safer than regular cigarettes by releasing an analysis of the new product. The FDA’s results:

Anti smoking advocates are really grasping at straws now days, They now attack safer smokeless forms of nicotine, they don’t try to show how these products are dangerous to the user much less those around them. They constantly attack e-cigarettes claiming that they are a ploy by big tobacco to hook the young on [...]

While I don’t always agree with Dr. Siegel, he is at least one that tries to present facts and not follow the cult movement. It is high time that people ,{especially polticians) wake up to the fact that these laws are based on a cult of eletist groups and not hard core science. Smoking bans [...]

Telling the Truth Would Have Required Admitting that the Bill is a Public Scam Which Does Little to Protect Children from Cigarettes But Lots to Protect Cigarette Sales

Even though tobacco control has yet to prove one single death caused by second hand smoke, yet the deaths caused by the smoking ban continue to pile up. This time it was a young man who volunteered to serve our country and fight for freedom, a commodity we are losing fast at the hands [...]
