we'll sink the islands

thats why we deny climate change

Electronic cigarettes should be forced to follow the same advertising rules as traditional cigarettes. They shouldn't be allowed to run ads on T.V. or radio just like cigarettes are.

True.
You might cut all the disadvantages that cancerogenous smoke causes, but you're still inhaling a potent, habit-forming drug.
The danger of poisoning is also higher with those liquid solutions used, compared to bitter tasting tobacco products.

These things aren't regulated like cigarettes. So people have no idea what they are really putting into their bodies. As you said, the pleasant taste might cause people to consume more than they normally would. More people will be lured into using these things also because people deem them to be a safe alternative. One day we might look back and realize that e-cigarettes have done more harm than good.

Or they might look back and see that they've saved millions of people from developing lung cancer. They're probably a lot less dangerous than coffee.

I saw the article a few days ago. I meant the addiction, the shakes, etc. I drink coffee every day, and it's not because the taste is especially pleasant, but because of the caffeine. I'm just tired of everyone, especially progressives, poo pooing other peoples life choices. If you don't conform to the yuppie-organic-food-eating-yoga-performing-running-marathons-and-telling-all-their-friends-about-it lifestyle they shit on you and try to ban stuff "for your own good" or "for the children".

People wanna smoke? Let 'em. At this point they know the risks. As for e-cigs, treating them like cigarettes is probably the stupidest trend ever. They've proven that they don't actually care about other peoples health, they just don't want to have to witness other people doing something they deem yucky.

It's the same with going after poor obese people, it's not that they care about their health, it's that they are just unpleasant to look at. McDonald's is the enemy because it made food cheap for poor people, and increased unpleasantness in the world. Poor people were so much easier on the eyes when they were starving, am I right?

McDonald's is perfectly healthy if you pick the right items and control your portions. Instead of getting a soda, get an orange juice or milk. Instead of having two big macs, have one big mac. Instead of getting a big mac, get a chicken wrap or salad. etc. Add some light exercise into your daily routine and you can pretty survive off of the stuff.

I am pretty marveled at McDonald's. They manage to provide lost cost meals meals quickly and efficiently. 

I think most attacks on McD's are classist.
