NANNY STATE PING!

This was a well written piece by a novelist who is a fellow e-cig convert. Normal people may wonder what the real reason is behind why anti-smoking groups are scared to death that their easy money big pharma and gubmint gravy train is ending. It’s not very complicated and all free people should understand what is happening.

1. Anti smoking groups are funded by contributions from Big Phrma companies that sell competing nicotine replacement products. Gums, patches etc. They stand to lose billions if ecigs take market share.

These “non profit” groups and their boards make 6 figure salaries. They were not doing this out of their altruistic benevolent concern for the health of mankind.

2. It looks like smoking, even though there is no smoke. All of the money and cultural social engineering to make the act look socially unacceptable would be flushed down the toilet.

But you were supposed to be explaining why it was BAD.
