The ‘Pasting’ that the Tobacco Control Industry is receiving over the Ecig Advert

Today has been jolly amusing.

Last night, I deliberately watched the programme which had the VIP ecig advert so that I could see that advert. The advert itself was about as innocuous as it could be without showing a granddad or grandma using the ecig rather than a thirty-odd year old, quite attractive woman (note that it was a woman and not a man but the Zealots dare not draw attention the gender because that would be sexist).  Because the advert featured a quite attractive, thirty-odd year old female, it became ‘sexual’ in the eyes of the puritanical Zealots. I wonder what the Zealots would have said had it been a ‘cuddly bear’ vaping an ecig? Clearly, it would have been said to be appealing to ‘children’ (literally, and not the definition of ‘a child’ as a person up to and including 24 years of age).

I have listened (retrospectively) to quite a few radio broadcasts and watched a couple of videos today (between jobs). What struck me most was that the Zealots were obviously following some sort of directions since they all said more or less the same thing. As an example, you might like to read Redhead Full of Steam’s take:

In her analysis of PROFESSOR Martin McKee’s comments, she quotes several verbatim statements from him. Funny, but his statement are almost exactly the same as the statements from Arnott et al. Apart from the actual words and phrases, the ideas are almost identical. What struck me most about all the written and stated complaints by the Zealots was the continuous repetition of phrases like, “We are worried that”, and, “Our main concern is”, and, “It is saddening that”. Why should these individuals’ concerns, worries and sadness matter a toss? Who gives a toss about their emotions? They can emote until they are emotional wrecks as far as I’m concerned, and so it should be for everyone else. Let them emote.

But what is obvious that all the emotional outpourings are organised. “We are worried that…” is not genuine. It is ‘propaganda speak’, carefully dramatised.

But, in terms of ecigs, their use and the vapours which they emit, such emotions are horribly misplaced. The Zealots say that there are thousands of harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke, even if it is SHS. No such thousands of chemicals are present in ecig vapour, therefore there is nothing to be “worried” about either as regards the vaper or the vapour. Nothing at all.

So, to defend their position, as instructed, they have to fall back on vague, future possible harms which may or may not exist. Because of research which has already been undertaken, no such harms are likely. Also, they have to depend upon ‘re-normalisation’ of smoking, even though smoking has not been ‘denormalised’, apart from in their fevered imaginations. Smoking has not been ‘de-normalised’; it has been ‘stigmatised’. But, as the word implies, ‘stigmatisation’ means “infliction of injury by external forces”. Thus, smokers have been ‘stigmatised’ by the evil forces of The Tobacco Control Industry. It is a bit like the ‘Wild West’. Smokers have a price on their heads and can be hunted down. In fact, is that ‘hunting down’ precisely what the criminalisation of people who import a few kilos of tobacco leaf per an is? Is it not true that criminalisation of smoking in cars where there are kids is ‘hunting down’?

The word that we are looking for is ‘extermination’. It is not ‘prohibition’; it is ‘extermination’. It is the avowed desire of ASH ET AL, often stated or implied, that elderly smokers should be allowed to die horribly without succour ‘pour encourage les autres’.

Is that idea far-fetched? I think not. The Zealots have said so. They do not want to end smoking immediately. They want to take several decades to do so. It would be disastrous for them if everyone stopped smoking tomorrow.

And it is obvious from their statements that they want to treat ecigs in the same way. They want CONTROL. They want a slow diminution of smoking because of the taxes. Also, they want Big Pharma funds.

I’m not sure that people like PROFESSOR Martin McKee are in the ‘inner circle’. I suspect not. He is too obvious. The same applies to Chapman and Glantz. They too are too visible. They must have invisible support. They all say the same, and they all have the same agenda.

But the structure of ‘singing from the same hymn sheet’, which has worked so well in the healthy, wealthy, worried West about tobacco cannot work for ecigs. Phrases like, “We are worried that….” are silly because no one in their right mind is worried. You have to be a bit insane to be “worried” about ecigs.

But what about the EU Parliament vote about ecigs?

The simple answer is that the EU Parliament is as corrupt as the EU regime. Different delegations from different countries are bought. At least, in the EU, there is some sort of attempt to seem to be democratic. There is no such thing in The Tobacco Control Industry.

The Tobacco Control Industry is the epitome of A PARASITE.  Its tendrils have invaded Government, The Tobacco Industry (including Farming), The World Bank, The EU, Democracy, Health Industries, The MSM, and it feeds upon them all.

The Tobacco Control Industry MUST BE DESTROYED.
