But there...I agree with a lot of what you write. But there's one more thing that would change in a world where PH and TC finally recognise vaping for what it is: a wonderful tool that allows smokers a choice.<br />Since the start of the "war against tobacco" (that's the only term I can think of), politicians have been lobbied intensively by both sides: Big T and Big P.<br />They are now nearly all linked to one of those two arch-enemies, or they are linked with PH. <br /><br />And then, comes a tool that hurts the sales of BOTH of those enemies. What happens is crystal-clear: whatever their lobbyistic allegiance is, the politicians choose... against vaping.<br /><br />We are too small, and with no lobbying power. The only thing we have are the scientific studies that show vaping is (at least very much) less dangerous than tobacco, and has no discernible effects on the bystanders. And we see every day how that turns out, just by reading the headlines in the press.<br /><br />So, if PH and TC would finally come to understand the real nature of vaping, and could finally understand that the price hikes, the social outcasting, the ads more and more gruesome all the time, the perpetual finger-showing DO NOT WORK ANY MORE, and that we need to think out of the box (some kind of PH 2.0 in a sense), we would finally have access to the politicians.<br /><br />And that would change a lot of things. Right now, politicians vote measures without bothering to consult us, because they see us as smokers: social pariahs. If PH “sees the light”, that would change.<br /><br />And that's what I fight for.<br /><br />By the way, I take this opportunity to thank you for your activism and indestructible support of the vape.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />Yannic@Indyyannhttp://vapestudies.yannic.be/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990698070859492609.post-65925304682136836732014-12-03T07:33:10.580+00:002014-12-03T07:33:10.580+00:00Couldn't agree more!
